on Tips for Coaching Remote Employees:
- Know that distractions take up huge amounts of your employee’s day. Refrain from scheduling endless meetings to satisfy your desire to make sure they are working. If you must schedule meetings, try to make sure you leave your team room to actually think and produce.
- When possible, allow your team to set their schedules based on their sleep cycles and family realities.
- Don’t make every person attend meetings that don’t matter to them. Also, don’t use a group meeting to get individual updates from each team member. This is painful to the other team members who are waiting for their turn and is highly unproductive.
- Know that some people work better from home and some people work better away from home. Figure out which category your team members fall into, and consider setting up different processes for each group.
5. Set measurable goals and timelines for projects. Be happy about the results and not as concerned about the time it takes to reach those results if they occur within the timeline set. Also, consider adding some additional time to the anticipated time you think a project will take to account for distractions.
