What are some of the challenges of telecommuting? List three to four strategies that remote workers can use to minimize these problems.
What will be an ideal response?
Remote workers are challenged by lack of social interaction, achieving work-life
balance, and gaining access to information and resources that on-site employees have.
Remote workers may struggle to make themselves and their work visible to other
members of their team. They may be given less responsibility and fewer promotions.
Remote employees should use self-audits to track invisible work like maintaining
technology, project preparation, research, and thinking about solutions. They should
also talk to others on the team about the telework experience and speak up about
problems or ideas. Teams should also develop informal communication patterns, such
as instant messaging, social media, or a designated Slack channel, to mimic the
interactions they would have at an office. When new members join a team, time should
be spent helping them become acquainted with the individuals and the norms of the
team, including how to ask questions.
