COVID-19 changed work as we know it. For more than two years, countless employees have worked remotely from the comfort of their homes and have not stepped foot into an office. Although some debate its benefits, there is little doubt that it is the future of work for many industries. Businesses that do not offer remote work (or some hybrid version of it) face the possibility that employees will leave for an employer who does. So accept the challenge and develop a six-step plan to manage your remote employees.
A Whole Host of New Challenges
Remote work has created a whole host of challenges for employers. Some employers have simply been trying to manage remote workers in the states and communities in which they have had physical presence. However, given the tight labor market, employers are now hiring individuals or allowing current employees to work in states (and sometimes countries) in which they do not have physical operations. This may be new to Human Resources professionals unfamiliar with the state or local employment laws that apply to these remote employees.
