Smart Ways to Manage Your Virtual Workforce

Running a virtual business may seem challenging because you need to form a corporate culture remotely. Without effective management, keeping your team inspired and productive can be a struggle. Metro Offices, your reliable partner for virtual office services, shares some management tips:

• Make the Work Hours Overlap. It’s ideal to have at least three to four hours a day where most of your colleagues are online at the same time. Even if they are unlikely to ask for help to finish their tasks, being online at the same time brings your team closer together. Furthermore, this makes solving issues easier.

• Utilize Several Communication Tools. Decide on ways you and your team will keep in touch with for specific matters. This unifies processes like what to use for screen recordings, conference calls and the like. By being clear on what tool is used, your team can have a feeling of closeness.

• Establish Work Systems. Every person has their own way of finishing their duties. As your trusted virtual office provider, we recommend establishing standards to cut the time needed to achieve the desired output. This way, your team will have fewer questions to ask and know how long tasks should take. Make sure that your work systems are tailored to provide the necessary freedom to accomplish the task at the best of one’s ability

• Create a Meritocratic System. Meritocracy refers to rewarding and honoring people based on their skills. This concept can encourage your team to work better. Be sure to establish a reward system to keep them inspired and to recognize the members that can take on more responsibility.
