Are you one of them? One of the thousands and thousands of employees across the world who have been working remote, from home, for weeks and months during the Coronavirus pandemic – some are back at the office while others continue to work from home.
But what is the impact of working remote? How does working remote affect your colleagues and employees?
Everyone is stressed right now; some people are scared, and others are sick. Take the time to ask how your team members are doing outside of work. That sort of empathy can go a long way. Make sure they know they can reach out to you when they need help, or even just a listening ear.
The findings in these two reports from The Predictive Index will open your eyes to the power of tailoring the way you motivate your remote employees based on their behavioral style.

As a leader, your role has never been more important than it is right now
- Things are changing by the minute, and senior leaders are making strategic decisions.
- Make sure you’re passing that information along to your teams as you have it.
- Organize a daily stand-up where you check in with your team members.
- This is a good time for you to pass along information, gather questions, and ask how each other is doing.
Tailor your communication styles as needed. If you have team members who are more extraverted, they might be struggling with the reduced in-person contact of remote work. Reach out to these people frequently.
Finally, if they have children at home while trying to work full-time, be accommodating. Have a conversation with these employees about what you need from them and what they’re able to do.
