Businesses of all sizes are turning towards remote work because employees want flexibility. While some executives worry that remote work could hinder productivity, research has shown that when companies maintain an effective remote working policy it can boost key metrics and employee morale.

However, there are a lot of questions regarding remote working arrangements, ranging from how it compares to flextime and which companies operate a fully distributed workforce. There are many advantages for offering remote working options. From reducing the commute (according to a survey by 2020 FlexJobs), to increasing employee engagement and retention, it’s an excellent method of giving employees the flexibility they desire.

Flexible work arrangements refer to any time an employee or team doesn’t report to a physical office at least some of the time, be it working from home for a few days per week or being completely remote. It also means working from a satellite location like a coworking or cafe, and even the possibility of a mobile workforce.

Whatever your company’s policy defines flexible work arrangements it is essential that leaders and managers provide regular feedback about performance and communication. It’s a good idea, too, to hold regular standups and meetings via virtual mediums in order to encourage collaboration, creativity and communication. Finally, don’t forget to congratulate your remote team members when they deserve it. If your employees feel unappreciated or bored they will be less productive.
