Social distance = working community distance

In the time of social distance it is hard to keep up your team as a coherent community. Both managers and their employees often express concerns about the lack of face-to-face and social interactions.

But there is a way to change the narrative: take advantage of the home office remote working and get them to know better in their "home office environment."

Employee engagement does not have to suffer due to the home office situation.

You just have to adapt, change and challenge your team. Professionally and socially.

Setting up home office the RIGHT WAY

Working from home offers many advantages, including the flexibility of setting your own schedule, saving time and money by eliminating your daily commute, and allowing you to start a business with minimal overhead. However, being successful in a home office requires creating an office space that promotes efficiency in a non-traditional work environment.

Make them choose a Dedicated Area

Ideally, their office should be in a quiet area with some privacy and plenty of light. This is especially important if they share the house with a spouse, children, or roommates.

Set up their workplace

First, a comfortable desk and a chair, then all the other necessary tools depending on what they are doing. Infrastructure for communication is essential.

Using gadgets? Only for their work!

They should get all the tools they need for their work, and use them only when they are in your “office” (eg. working phone) They have to have a separated place for them on their desk.

Have a way to keep their time

Research has found that they will be more productive if they get up and move throughout the day. These brief mental rest periods break up their workday and improve their focus.
