Hire the right people
Design your hiring process with remote candidates in mind. Look for 3 main things:
- A strong skill set relevant to their jobs: you need to feel confident that they can ...
Put extra effort into onboarding
Remote workers won’t have the opportunity to be involved in spontaneous conversations or team lunches, but there are other things you can do to help them settle:
- provide info with new job critical stuff: team member introductions (personal bios, photos, advice for new employees), HR training links, task checklists, long-term goals, and more.
- assign mentors to new hires, who schedule regular video check-ins, make themselves available on Slack and make new employees feel welcome.
Default working setups
Remote workers need a dedicated, quiet space to do their work, so it’s important to set some guidelines:
- encourage workers to join coworking spaces;
- encourage workers to set a dedicated insolated space at home for work, with suitable furniture;
- fast reliable internet access;
They can still work from a coffee shop every once in a while, but they need a good default setup.

Workplace Recognition
Employees that feel they have a positive personal rapport with their management are more likely to be engaged and feel more appreciated when they or their work gets noticed.
Encourage Employees To Move Their Bodies
To reduce stress in the workplace and increase focus and clarity, encourage your team members to do some physical activity. Physical activity such as yoga and running is also a good way for staff to learn how to pace themselves at work.
You can also set some reminders every two hours for your team members to stand up, stretch and rest their eyes by looking out of the window.
Offer a Flexible Work Environment
Allow your team members flexibility by not monitoring them often, if their work is completed by specific deadlines. Remember that salary is not everything.
Letting go of rigid work schedules or allowing them to work from home when possible goes a long way to reduce stress in the workplace.
