More of us than ever are working remotely. But whether your employees have always worked from home or you’re thinking of implementing a remote work policy, one issue that can crop up is how to effectively motivate and engage your teams when you’re not physically in the same location as them.
Let’s face it, even the most motivated among us have days when we’d rather stay in bed than have that dreaded conference call with an irate investor. When we’d rather slump on the settee watching daytime TV than face another eight hours of dealing with angry customers. And so the duvet day was born.
Employee retention has long been a thorn in the side of HR. And one way of tackling it that’s often overlooked is one of the simplest (and cheapest) to execute. Asking your employees for feedback not only makes your people feel valued, it gives you insight into your workplace to help you improve.
