For a new remote workspace workforce, my top challenges have been:1. Overcoming communication barriers: Being successful in a distributed team requires different communication techniques compared to a traditional office. Working remotely means dealing with time differences, different work habits, and more difficulty initiating meaningful conversations.
2. Building relationships and trust: With no physical contact, it can be difficult to build relationships. This can often lead to a lack of trust among team members and makes it more difficult to effectively collaborate on projects.
3. Maintaining productivity: It’s important to ensure team members stay productive and motivated when working from home. This is accomplished through setting clear expectations and goals, as well as providing the right tools and resources to help employees stay focused and productive.
