The challenges of a distributed workforce
Communication and collaboration: Distributed workers are not physically present, which can make communication and collaboration difficult. It is important to ensure that distributed workers have access to the information and resources they need, and that they can easily communicate with other team members.
Culture: A distributed workforce can affect company culture. It is important to create a culture that is supportive and inclusive, even for distributed workers.
Performance management: It is more difficult to monitor and evaluate the performance of distributed workers. It is important to establish clear goals and expectations and ensure that distributed workers have the opportunity to meet regularly with their managers.
