Even though you're willing to pay remote workers, that doesn't ensure that they will do a good job for you. Here are a few great tips to make the best of it.
James DeJulio, president of Tongal and an expert on managing remote workers, says the key is to provide challenge and fun. Writing in Inc.com, he says remote people like to work whenever they want to. That's why it's important to set deadlines. You have to structure their work.
Let them know you care. Hire a remote worker who is motivated by developing a new product, fixing a problem or changing the way things are getting done. Let them know how much their work adds value to the company.
Keep your company data safe. Remote workers can carry infections right in the back door of your business. Make sure anyone connecting to your company information has their computer scanned, a firewall in place, and updated anti-virus. These small precautions can save your business from data loss.
A policy for your company’s protection. Little things like, keeping company information saved on the server and not home computers seems like a no-brainer, but is often overlooked. Put a set policy to guide employees when they are working away from the office.
