How To Effectively Manage Remote Employees
If you manage employees remotely or
you have colleagues who work in
different places, keeping in touch can
push aside more pressing, revenue-
generating tasks. But it’s important to
stay connected and manage when we
talk about employees.www.vdeskworks.com

Don't be afraid to give honest feedback
When you communicate mainly by email and by phone, sometimes it seems that some things are easier to slide. But just because you do not see these employees in person does not mean that you should not tell them what is important to you and what is expected. Be straightforward and honest if the work they do does not meet your standards. Give them the opportunity to do it right.www.vdeskworks.co

Mind Your Manners
Work remotely tends to anonymize interactions. If your only communication is via email, it can be easy to forget that you are dealing with a living, thinking, sensual person. As your mother said, remember your manners. Say please and thank you. If your employee or colleague does an excellent job, say so. Be energetic in your praise, if justified. A little respect is important.

Be flexibleAgain, when your employee or colleague is the only avatar on the screen, it’s easy to start treating him or her as a virtual servant to whom you can make ridiculous demands. If you work on the weekend or you have insomnia and you work at 2 a.m., this does not mean that you expect your employee to do the same. The presence of virtual employees does not mean round-the-clock access to them. Think long and hard before raising projects to urgent status, because if you do it regularly, you will become a boy who cried out a wolf, and “urgency” will lose its meaning.

Quantify and Qualify Your Expectations
This means that you do not assume anything, especially if your virtual employee or colleague understands how important the project is, if you do not indicate this in writing. Write a checklist and send an email or progress report with clear deadlines and goals.

Use the phone or video chat
Although email and messaging are convenient and do not require both sides to be accessible and focused at the same time, this can impersonate your interaction. Use Skype or Facetime to brainstorm, view agendas, receive on-site feedback without waiting for an email message that may or may not answer your questions.www.vdeskworks.co

Keep in touch
There is nothing worse than receiving a desperate email, text message or phone call the night before an important deadline to let you know that the deadline will not be met. Registering once a week by phone, text, or email can help you understand where your employees are experiencing difficulties if they encounter difficulties or obstacles if they do not understand the project. Go back to your expectation checklist and find out where your employees are involved in projects every week so you are not stunned before the deadline.
