Vous supervisez une équipe à distance. Comment pouvez-vous vous assurer que leur productivité reste élevée ?

Ensure that expectations are set clearly and that the vision of the team is aligned very much with that of the business objectives. Roles , Responsibilities and Expectations must be clearly defined and revisited at regular intervals to ensure that it meets the changing landscape of the business. A flexible work schedule for remote teams is a great retention tool , use it effectively to enhance employee engagement and well-being.

Decide if you wish to be a results oriented leader or a time keeping clerk. If you wish to be a time keeper then install click counting and call each team member frequently to keep them on task. Include checking at 8:01 AM and 4:59 PM to make certain they are working a full eight hours. Or Jointly set measurable, specific, defined, results targeting goals aligned with project & organization objectives and timing. Have agreed to key check points. Have scheduled group meeting times with agendas, and scheduled 1-on-1 blocks for individual goal setting.

Establishing a mission statement for the team with objectives helps ensure the team, in multiple locations, are focused on the same end goal and moving in the same direction. Sharing specifics of the technical challenges, schedule and critical milestone dates and even the budgetary hours to accomplish the project are a good foundation to ensure teammates plan their efforts accordingly. Reminders can be provided at weekly team meetings.

My two cents.... I don´t think "OVERSEEING" is the concept. Don´t you think "FORESIGHT" is a much stronger perspective? Strategic foresight is a powerful managerial approach that require you to imagine possible futures with each person in your team. Both positive to achieve and negative to avoid. If you invest the time with each person in your team to imagine together a future that gets your collaborator and the company excited, overseeing work will not be necessary. It is not you pushing a company goal into an employee to-do list. It will be an employee pushing hard to go beyond what you two imagined together. 2 meters or 20,000 km away from a collaborator would not make a difference!

Project management tools are an effective way to manage a project. However simplification is imperative. Using a tool set that integrates with each other to avoid duplication of work Streamlines the process. Visualisation of the progress helps with easy understand of where you are in the project.

Provide all the necessary tools, provide a structure, and monitor the usage of the tools. While all the tools may be provided, it is also important that they are user-friendly.

Com o aumento das oportunidades de trabalho híbrido e home office no Brasil e ao redor do mundo, é cada vez mais necessário entender como melhorar a sua gestão de equipes remotas. Como esse gerenciamento tem sido feito na sua empresa?

This is rubbish advice. If you're having daily meetings to brainstorm on projects you're not keeping productivity high. You're likely overdoing management.

I dont agree with having regular check-ins. They are time-consuming, could interrupt the team's focus, or could be interpreted as micromanaging. Instead have scheduled meetings to discuss progress, plans, and any major issues.

With clear guidelines of what to do and when to deliver, a weekly check in of 10-15 mins is more than enough to review progress and clear any blockers. Daily calls are time consuming and absolutely not productive

Make clear expectations and, stablish weekly meeting to check update and provide support. Additional tools to follow-up that everyone can share the updates.

Automating the check in’s utilizing tools such as daily management, team huddles enables the team to proactively identify issues and develop counter measures to the same. Enabling and empowering the team ensures that check ins are organically driven vs directed top down

This is absolutely correct Trusting the team is fundamental. Giving them the chance to do their job freely without micro managing and being available for them for guidance and support makes them more productive in delivering results Part of this trust is also being able to have their backs in case something goes wrong, this gives them the confidence to do their tasks without being afraid of making mistakes.

all my experiance drives me in offering otonomie and responsability to my teams. secure the employe empowerment and monitor the proper suport and comunication upon the team for each member to fill responsable of their mission a small 5 to 10 minute daily call to align the whole teama and adress fairly each and everyone responsability abd delivery remain focus and secure delivery acknoledgment of request task when needed and offer validation, congratulation during daily meeting on the work done when properly delivered and on time try to keep everyone in the team commited to delivery based on their own commitment assesment.

Ensure to establish working hours to establish the tempo for team members on the remote teams to help each other during common hours and ensure collaboration. Then if flexibility is needed for unique times, ensure everyone is aware and respects that need which is a benefit of working remotely. But if the work hours are not established, then progress on projects will be delayed as teammates are unable to collaborate in a timely manner.

Importante confiar en el equipo de trabajo, ya que este este será el encargado de realizar el proyecto. pero por sobre todo hay que generar espacios y tiempos donde potenciar el trabajo colaborativo, multidisciplinario y sobre todo en equipo.

Supporting your team's autonomy fosters motivation and productivity. Trust your team to manage their schedules and work independently, but stay open and accessible for guidance. Show empathy by understanding individual needs and challenges, and encourage decision-making within their roles. Regularly check in to offer support and feedback, creating a safe space for open communication. This approach boosts their confidence and investment in the project, leading to a more engaged and self-driven team. By balancing autonomy with support, you empower your team and enhance overall success.

When possible, take time zone differences into account and respect team members personal time boundaries. You will gain respect, loyalty and trust.

As a leader must be realize that working remote still have to respect working hour boundary. Avoid long hour meeting. Give trust for team to deliver the work using their way. And check frequently.

Do not focus on the hours spent but rather the effectiveness of the team. Reward delivery, while encouraging a balanced work, life set up. Engage and encourage good rest periods that creates a guilt free culture on personnel time.

To combat burnout in remote work, encourage your team to set clear boundaries for work hours and personal time. Promote regular breaks and mindful wellness practices. Offer support for mental health, such as access to resources or counseling. Foster an environment where taking time off is respected and encouraged. Regularly check in on team well-being and adjust workloads if needed. A well-supported team is more productive and engaged.

I have the feeling that a pandemic moved the world to work in remote mode bu maintained the rules of the traditional office mode. If remote (or hybrid) work is not a better alternative why we would do it? If remote work is taking more hours from people we should not do it. It is a decision to decrease productivity. I am ALL for it... but we need to create the new culture, rules, communication style, etc. I think this is happening as we live this new reality, but is happening very slowly. We managers and directors have the responsibility to think deeper and more creatively to speed things up for the benefit of all in our companies.

one thing thats has helped me is to have 2 way feedback channel while managing remote teams. During my feedback discussions, one has to make sure to discuss whats going good, what can go better, what has to stop/start happening for better value creation. Emphasising on the importance of outcome and reasoning has also helped me to a see the feedback handling to a great extent

Do in the office ONLY what you would do with your spouse. There is certain type of feedback that would break your relationship with your spouse. Your spouse is human and your colleagues at work are human as well. Both your personal relationship and your office were established in the same planet. Why would it be different? Be emphatic, be very careful, pioritize long term strategy vs short term reaction, try and succeed, try and fail, ask for forgiveness after a mistake, present your ideas along with the reasons and motivations behind them. Be transparent and candid. The consequence of these behaviors will be a healthier culture.

For a remote working arrangement to be productive, reinforcing behavior that you'd like to be repeated and directly pointing out areas for improvement through regular feedback is important. For example, it is important to give praise to members who communicate proactively and asynchronously regardless of whether everything's working out fine without issues or when they have blockers. I let them know I'm grateful that support can be given to them in a timely manner. On the other hand, a reminder is given for decisions made without a proper documentation of the data-driven reasons for such a decision. In addition to this, we would specify action items that we could agree together on and set goals for when we want to achieve them.

The global amangement is a challenge for any one I am myslef a multicultural I am French amerian and I have been working in China, Mexico, and with different country like India, Germany, Tailand, Brazil... some comprehention of Each culture is key in the delivery of a remote team, each culture adress problemetics in diffferent way, capability to comunicate in different skills.. never under estimate the cultural differences!

Um feedback bem construído é essencial para promover um ambiente de trabalho saudável e produtivo. Ele permite que as pessoas compreendam suas áreas de melhoria e reconheçam seus pontos fortes, criando oportunidades para crescimento pessoal e profissional. Além disso, um feedback cuidadosamente elaborado promove uma comunicação clara e respeitosa, fortalecendo os relacionamentos interpessoais e a confiança entre os membros da equipe. Ao receber um feedback construtivo, os indivíduos se sentem valorizados e apoiados, o que aumenta sua motivação e comprometimento com os objetivos da organização.
