Manage Staff Working from Home with RAX MONITOR
The COVID-19 crisis has forced society to accept a new concept of “normal.” With the enhanced community quarantine in place, most companies were forced to embrace remote working as their new standard of operations. After all, it’s one of the best solutions they can implement in order to assure business continuity even during this crucial time. While remote working may be effective in assuring the safety and welfare of the employees, setting it in place may not be easy.
Now that everyone has to work from home, a new communication barrier is erected. Luckily, present technology makes it possible to communicate with employees even while away. Video conferencing is an excellent avenue to set up remote meetings. This allows participants to interact with each other audio visually despite the distance. Instant messaging can also be used for matters that require more urgency.
Given the ongoing crisis and the change in work environment, distraction could be a problem amongst employees. With less supervision, it will be easier for them to slip or give in to every possible distraction nearby. Certain domestic responsibilities may also hinder them from finishing their day to day tasks. Setting up solid operating hours with considerable break times can be a good way to lessen the employee’s urge to succumb to diversion knowing that they have enough time to tend to their personal matters or to take the edge off work for a bit.
Diminished productivity can also be a great hurdle in remote working especially to businesses that are doing this for the first time. It would take time for team members to adjust to the new working set up and not having the right tool to help will only result in a dip in productivity. Luckily, tools like RAX MONITOR ensure optimum productivity in all employees even while the entire team is working apart from each other.
This productivity tracking application uses artificial intelligence to monitor, analyze, and evaluate productivity levels and enhance efficiency.
