COVID – 19 has changed the world permanently within a few months. This period of transition has both upsides and downsides. These are felt especially by the global corporate sector. Companies are now running remotely but often, even the veteran ventures, struggle with keeping their productivity and communication levels high. 

Are there solutions to this issue? 

Well, of course, there are! 

Some of them are as follows – 

Training your team to use cloud based tools is a great idea!

No thanks to the current global pandemic, most, if not all categories of businesses are now running their operations remotely. Sure businesses of all categories and ages have had issues at first but they are slowly adjusting to the change. 

How? 

Well, they are training their workforce to efficiently use cloud-based software and related applications that promote remote working. For instance, property management companies are often conducting webinars to train their workforce in the best ways they can use block management software offered by a leading service provider. 

This ensures that property management companies are not running out of business even in these trying times! 

Not bad eh!?

You should set clear boundaries and goals for your workforce

This is essential to keep productivity levels high! 

An employer can – 

• Come up with a strict routine about the duration for which their employees would need to log on in the morning.
• An employer would also set a designated time for their employees to log off and call it a day.
• Employers need to ask their employees to submit their completed projects/assignments for the day within the stipulated time. 

Maintaining strict work ethics and cubicle discipline even in a remote-working arrangement ensures productivity levels of a business never falters!

Often hold group or one-on-one online meetings with your workforce

Working from home is a lucrative way to keep a business afloat even in these trying times. With that stated, most employees and even employers find this arrangement isolating. 

To ensure that employers and employees are not suffering from low productivity levels in their daily professional routines, both parties can – 

• Participate daily in conference calls
• Hold weekly web-meetings and 
• Arrange for one-on-one video calls every Monday, to ensure nobody is feeling Monday blues, left out, bored or isolated! 

Apart from implementing the tips mentioned above, one should also remember that employers would need to trust their employees. Business owners should refrain from constantly hounding their employees during a typical workday. If one cannot trust an employee to work from their home then that employee is unfit to remain in a company – it is as simple as that! It is best to hire someone who can remain efficient even when the individual is not working from an office!
