How to motivate remote employees to work better?
-
I think you have some information that could help me with my question. With remote working, we have a bit of a problem: how to motivate the team to work more efficiently when everyone is working from home? I realize that control from the management cannot be the same as in the office, and I don't want to turn the work process into endless surveillance. However, without clear motivation and monitoring, it sometimes feels like tasks are put off and deadlines are pushed back. How can you find a balance so that employees feel responsible without being overloaded?

I think that for motivation it is important not only to keep track of tasks, but also the level of employee engagement. In my team, we use Monitask, which helps us not only to track working hours, but also to get real-time information on productivity. This gives us a clear picture of who is working efficiently and who may be overworked or underworked. When employees have an understanding that their work is being tracked, but without being overly rigorous, it motivates them to work with more responsibility. It's also important to give feedback and set transparent goals. In addition, https://www.monitask.com/en/ allows you to monitor not only your work time, but also helps you avoid procrastination by capturing periods of downtime. This helps to build clearer boundaries and discipline, which is very important in remote work.

I think motivation is first and foremost the intrinsic motivation of each employee. I would suggest that every time at the end of the week or month there should be a small meeting where not only work results are discussed, but also personal achievements that are not always visible in the reports. It is very important that employees feel the value of their work and do not forget about their personal goals. Of course it's important to maintain regular communication and be available for questions, but on the other hand, it's worth trusting people who are generally responsible.
