A Complete Guide To Getting Started With A Remote
Team
2
Coronavirus prevention is on the rise and there
is a possibility that quarantines (mandatory or
otherwise) and lockdowns could go into effect
increasing the count of team members who work
from home (WFH). Given the widespread
interruptions, it does make sense to future-proof
your organization by making a remote WFH team.

Let us access some invaluable insights to keep
your organization protected, progressive, and
futuristic to efficiently manage difficult
situations like the one presently faced by the
world due to the deadly Coronavirus.

What does working remotely really mean?
Remote work is any part-time, full-time, or
project-based job that an individual is doing
from outside the organization's brick-and-mortar
structure. All work is done through a laptop
(smartphone, tablet, or desktop) and the power of
the Internet.
5
Crank up the communication
Coronavirus or not, the basic fundamental to
working remotely from home is comprehensive and
clear communication with your boss and team
members - and knowing exactly what's expected of
you and them. This calls for consistent and
relevant interactions between the Team Manager
and the subordinates.
6
Treat it like a real job
It becomes easier to unlock the benefits of
remote work with a dedicated workspace where you
can concentrate. Try something more deliberate
instead of lying in your comfy bed with a laptop.
The most amazing part is that the fix could be
something as simple and easy as plopping down
your computer, moving a nightstand into a corner
that is away from distractions, and sitting in an
upright chair.
7
Avoid feeling isolated
With coronavirus, its not clear for how long
people will be at home. The abrupt and enforced
nature of the transition from an office to a home
environment could leave some of us struggling to
get accustomed to the change. Team Managers
should encourage members of the team to stay high
on morale and productivity. This may include
remote happy hours or virtual pizza parties.
8
Keep spirits up
Worrying about elderly loved ones or sick
colleagues, friends, family, and extended family
members and all those negative headlines can put
work emails on the back burner. Engage in as much
face-to-face interaction online as possible
through video calls or regular meetings with no
agenda, such as grabbing a drink or a coffee. If
you are a manager, it is time for you to
acknowledge that these are difficult times and
your primary job is to be a cheerleader for your
team.

Conclusion
Initially, working remotely from home can be a
bit of a challenge. However, it does make sense
to stay away from crowded places with a
contagious illness around us as this preventive
measure greatly minimizes the likelihood of
transmission. Until the coronavirus is brought
under control, the advantages of remote work
surely outweigh the inconvenience. As long as
things are handled the right way, your
organization could surely be as productive as
ever.
