• How can employers ensure remote workers feel included and part of the team?

    Posted by Yna on March 9, 2023 at 1:06 am

    Other than regular communication and checking how they are doing, it is also important to motivate them and create a positive environment (whether it’s online or on-site).

    But we should also keep in mind that we, too, are responsible and have the power to motivate and discipline ourselves as long as we are persistent to reach our own goals.

    Additional tip: We can take our work/tasks as a ladder to reach our goals and become a better version of ourselves!

    I personally think that occasionally praising them for their good work could help them feel included. Setting up milestones each with a reward could help to motivate them a lot.

      I couldn’t agree more! Praising them and giving them compliments really helps when it comes to motivating employees.

    Employers can also plan team-building activities, provide collaboration tools, involve remote workers in decision-making, recognize their contributions, and offer training and development opportunities.

      Yes, I also think team-building is one of the best ways to ensure that the employees who work from home feel included and is part of the team.

    As a remote worker, I appreciate when my employer takes steps to ensure that I feel included and part of the team. Regular communication and check-ins are essential, but creating a positive work environment is also crucial. It’s also important to remember that as remote workers, we have a responsibility to motivate ourselves and use our work as a way to reach our goals and improve ourselves. I love the additional tip of using our work as a ladder to reach our goals and become a better version of ourselves.

      Exactly! It really feels like you’re part of the team whenever employers ask questions or your opinions and consider your ideas.

    necessary to give remote workers the same resources and information as in-office workers and build a culture of openness and support that honors their efforts.

      I agree! Appreciating their efforts the same way they appreciate the workers who work inside the office will make them feel equally included.

    I think a simple way is by showing appreciation for their work or complimenting their work. This makes employees feel appreciated and valued.

    When remote workers are being appreciated for what they do for the team, they will surely feel that they belong.

    I agree! Motivating ourselves and creating a positive environment in our workplace are crucial for achieving our goals, and to feel included. We are responsible for our own success and decisions in life, and using our work as a ladder can keep us motivated to become the best version of ourselves.

    Reyna, thank you for sharing your ideas on how to make sure remote workers feel included and motivated. It is very important to talk to them often, check on how they are doing, and create a positive environment. Your additional tip to see work as a way to reach personal goals also makes a lot of sense.
