Maintaining Offsite Productivity During Covid-19

So you’ve made the big decision to send your staff members home to work remotely during Covid-19. For Daytona Beach businesses working through Coronavirus, this is a solid compromise between self-isolation and not completely shutting your doors until the virus passes.

But remote working can take time to get right. Join us today for three professional HR tips and a closer look at maintaining your offsite productivity during Covid-19 when you move your office offsite.

Offsite Productivity Tools

To improve your offsite productivity, you have to give your staffers the resources they’ll need to stay on top of their workload. Working offsite is going to impact your productivity, but there are tools and platforms to help make the transition smoother. 

Look for project management and tracking functionality. Chat apps with video conferencing for multiple members is important too, and far more common than it’s ever been before. This tech allows managers and employees alike to stay up to date with each other from literally anywhere in the world. 

Daily Goals

Office managers have less and less daily contact with their employees at the moment. Touching in for a morning video chat or can help to flatten out the chaos, and you can use these conferencing apps to follow up on daily output. 

Just because everybody’s at home, right now, doesn’t mean that output follows different rules. Try to be explicit about what’s expected of your employees, follow up in meetings, and hold workers accountable.

Dedicated Workspaces

Moving your job into your home can be more disorienting than you’d expect. Office workers now operating from home should be encouraged to set up their own home offices, away from the communal space. This helps to delineate the working experience and create a place free of distractions so that work can be done more consistently.

Dedicated workspaces help employees recreate the staffer’s office desk in the privacy of their own home. This “office away from the office” allows them to focus on work and disengage from their home life in a way that keeps them productive. 

Maintain Worker Productivity During Covid-19

Human resources is in a strange place, right now. With offices in Daytona Beach and around the world sending their staffers home to work until the Covid-19 outbreak passes, it’s important to take charge of your workforce, even remotely.
