from home (WFH).
Given the widespread interruptions, it does make sense to
future-proof your organization by making a remote WFH team.

Remote work is any part-time, full-
time, or project-based job that an
individual is doing from outside
the organization's brick-and-
mortar structure.
All work is done through a laptop
(smartphone, tablet, or desktop)
and the power of the Internet.
What does working remotely really mean?

Coronavirus or not, the basic fundamental
to working remotely from home is
comprehensive and clear communication
with your boss and team members - and
knowing exactly what's expected of you
and them.
This calls for consistent and relevant
interactions between the Team Manager
and the subordinates.
Crank up the communication

It becomes easier to unlock the benefits of remote work
with a dedicated workspace where you can concentrate.
Try something more deliberate instead of lying in your
comfy bed with a laptop. The most amazing part is that
the fix could be something as simple and easy as plopping
down your computer, moving a nightstand into a corner
that is away from distractions, and sitting in an upright
chair.
‘Treat it like a real job’

With coronavirus, it’s not clear for how long people will be at
home.
The abrupt and enforced nature of the transition from an office
to a home environment could leave some of us struggling to get
accustomed to the change.
Team Managers should encourage members of the team to stay
high on morale and productivity. This may include remote
happy hours or virtual pizza parties.
Avoid feeling isolated

Worrying about elderly loved ones or sick colleagues, friends, family, and
extended family members and all those negative headlines can put work
emails on the back burner.
Engage in as much face-to-face interaction online as possible through video
calls or regular meetings with no agenda, such as grabbing a drink or a coffee.
If you are a manager, it is time for you to acknowledge that these are difficult
times and your primary job is to be a cheerleader for your team.
‘Keep spirits up’

Initially, working remotely from home can be a bit of a challenge. However, it
does make sense to stay away from crowded places with a contagious illness
around us as this preventive measure greatly minimizes the likelihood of
transmission.
Until the coronavirus is brought under control, the advantages of remote
work surely outweigh the inconvenience. As long as things are handled the
right way, your organization could surely be as productive as ever.
