HR Tips & Tricks for Managing Remote Employees

TIP #4: Listen to Concerns

Remember that communication is a two-way street, and be sure to listen to any concerns employees may have. The COVID-19 pandemic has been a rapidly evolving situation, and many employees may be feeling overwhelmed or anxious. If employees express concerns along those lines, evaluate whether there is anything you can do to help mitigate those feelings. Additionally, remote employees may start to feel isolated, so it is important to remind them that they’re not alone, especially during these uncertain times.
