It can become very easy in the virtual space for work to become around the clock – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
What are you doing as a leader to ensure that your team is putting into place arrangements and boundaries for themselves around time?
In a remote team there are a number of things that can become commonplace which impact time management and getting things done:
Being called to meetings – outside of your normal working hours (early or late)
Needing to take more time to get things done due to the global scope of the work
Building relationships with others in different locations
Reporting requirements
Replying to excessive emails to “keep you in the loop”
Being available for others who are working in different locations
As a leader how are you getting people to track their time and effort? Are you considering Time Off In Lieu and encouraging people to use it?
What are the key issues facing your team around time management and remote workforce arrangements?
