We are almost half-way through 2021, and in most countries employees are still working remotely. Remote working has become a norm in today’s world. Given the current scenario, it’s necessary that you have an effective employee check-in strategy in place. Essentially, employee performance check-ins are one-on-one conversations between managers and employees about their goals and objectives and their performance plans.

The check-ins help you gain an understanding of what your employees are working on and the issues they face from time to time. It will help you resolve it without having to wait for annual performance reviews.

The basic process for conducting an employee performance check-in is that managers and employees typically meet for a few minutes and have a quick chat over the work that has been done over a particular period of time. Alternatively, it can also be carried out in the form of a structured questionnaire, which can then be followed up by a video chat. Effective managers use employee check-ins to gain insight into how their direct reports work, what works for them, and what needs to change. Employee check-ins require you immediately to acknowledge the issues addressed and act on them.

In this article, let’s find out about the best practices for employee check-ins. If you want to make the most of employee check-ins, there are a few areas you need to focus on.

Decide the Purpose

Always have a clear agenda for employee check-ins. Understand and communicate what is expected of your employees through these check-ins. Decide on their objectives and key results and agree on expected deliverables of your employees. Be clear and specific. The check-in form shouldn’t take more than 15 minutes for your employees to fill out.

Frequency Of The Check-Ins

It is important to have an employee check-in based on your organisational needs and business cycles. This frequency also depends on the department. For example, the engineering team might need an employee check-in every week because of the major weekly updates in the product, while the support team might need it once every two weeks. So depending on the performance cycles and the agendas of different teams, the frequency of employee check-ins also changes.

Give Them Feedback

Depending on the employee check-ins, managers understand and plan a few things about their employees. Give them feedback based on their check-ins on what behaviours they should continue to demonstrate and what behaviours should be modified so that they contribute to organisational success. Providing frequent feedback on this is vital.

Employee Development Is The Priority

Track employee development and understand their areas of expertise. You can utilise this opportunity to understand where they need help and how as an organisation you can provide support for employee development. You can even encourage your employees to come up with an actionable plan for their development.

The World Health Organization estimates that the global economy loses 1 trillion dollars per year of productivity because of anxiety and depression. Contrary to this, they found EVERY DOLLAR spent on treating mental health issues; the return is FOUR TIMES improved productivity and health.

The above numbers are not surprising, and the impact of mental health is real. In 2019, that is two years back, none of us could have imagined working from home continuously. The shift to remote working was sudden. While many adjusted to the new norm, for others it was difficult. Consequently, they suffered from isolation, anxiety, depression, stress, screen fatigue, burnout, etc. Employee well-being and mental health are now a top priority for all organizations as it affects employee engagement, retention, and productivity. 

6 Ways To Support Mental Health Of Your Remote Team

While in our previous articles we have highlighted the impact of work-life balance and a culture of appreciation on employees and their wellbeing. In this article we will focus on how organizations can support the mental health of their remote teams.

1. Leadership Support

Employee wellbeing initiatives cannot be effective without leaders actively supporting the cause. As leaders or managers, share your own struggles and stories of mental health issues. Make your employees feel it is ‘OK’ to speak about it. This will encourage your employees to speak up and reduce the stigma. Understanding how to support your employees’ well-being is important, but it’s just one piece of the puzzle when it comes to successfully managing a remote team. Remote leadership comes with other challenges as well, like understanding that your employees might have a harder time disconnecting from work, and that it’s not uncommon to feel lonely and isolated from colleagues.

2. Conduct Employee Training Sessions

In a survey by the U.S. National Comorbidity, 18% of employed individuals with ages between 15 to 54 experienced symptoms of mental health issues. Mental Health issues are not always easy to identify, unlike physical health issues. It’s difficult to identify the signs of anxiety, depression, isolation, burnout, stress, etc. easily. Often they go unnoticed. And as a result, your employee’s productivity goes spiralling down with no one knowing the actual reason behind it. 

Also Read: How Performance Management Has Changed In 2021?

To prevent this, conduct virtual training sessions with your remote employees on mental health. With so many video conferencing tools such as FaceTime, Google Meet, Skype, and Zoom it should be easy to organize one. The key focus of these sessions should focus on identifying mental health issues and preventing stress and burnout. Onboard shrink or mental health experts with whom the employees can connect on a one-on-one session virtually. 

This will help you create an engaged and a productive workforce who are cognizant of their mental wellbeing.

3. Communication & Check-In With Your Team Frequently

Communication is the key through any crisis! The amount of communication that an employee used to have with their colleagues reduced drastically, be it work-related or socializing. Not only this, but they are also in the constant fear of missing out on information from the organization. This has added to the stress and anxiety of the employees.

Communicate with your remote employees often. Have a one-on-one’s over a video call or just ping them on official chat to know their wellbeing and if they need help. With Engagedly’s inbuilt survey feature, create and assign simple surveys for your employees to measure employee engagement, employee motivation, and employee happiness quotient. Besides that, keep them in loop about organization-related information, policy changes or rule changes. As a manager, ensure that your employees have all the tools in hand for communication and collaboration to be seamless. Some common tools which they can have access to are:

• Asana, Basecamp, and Trello for Project Management
• Engagedly, Lattice, 15Five for real-time performance management, feedback, rewards, and goal setting
• Slack, Google Meet, and Skype for communication and easy collaboration

Effectively communicating with your employees will not only reduce their stress and anxiety, but will also help them be more productive and engaged at work. 

4. Benefits and Perks 

Organizations often develop health policies that give importance to physical health and tend to ignore mental health issues. In the current scenario, where mental health has become a matter of concern for all, developing a holistic employee wellbeing policy is the need of the hour.

Establish and offer Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) to your employees. According to a poll by SHRM, 91% of organizations have EAP as a part of their employee benefits, but most of them go under-used. The aim of these programs is to find solutions to employee’s work-related or personal problems that might affect work and productivity. Let your employees know what EAP offers so that they can know the benefits and use them whenever necessary.

5. Organize Virtual Team-Building Activities

The weekly ‘Fun-Fridays’, team lunches, water-cooler breaks or a casual chit-chat with colleagues is not possible anymore. But these casual or planned team-building activities are necessary to build a cohesive team. As a manager, plan team-building activities for your remote teams. Conduct quizzes, book clubs, trivia, virtual team lunches or ask your employees to share their childhood photos or workspace photos. Team-building activities help in generating a sense of trust among your employees and increase collaboration. Although connected digitally, they still get a sense of being in the office, and it helps them take their mind off from work. It also reduces the feeling of isolation and reduces stress and anxiety.

Encourage your employees to have virtual water-cooler breaks and meet with their peers.

6. Physical Wellbeing Of Remote Employees

While addressing mental health issues is important, it is necessary to pay attention to physical wellbeing too. We cannot undermine its impact on mental health. Working from home has altered our habits to a large extent. For many of us, we confined our workstations to beds or couches with little or no movement throughout the day. Further, the flexible working schedule has blurred the lines between personal and office time. As a result, it has resulted in untimely breaks, unnatural sleeping patterns, irregular eating habits, etc. This has resulted in obesity and fatigue. Companies can play a big part in making sure that their employees are physically fit. Some of those initiatives can be:

• Setting up of an ergonomically friendly workspace
• Organizing virtual yoga and exercise classes
• Reimbursement for fitness equipments
• Gamification for calories burnt
• Encourage your employees to take breaks for physical workout

Everyone has been working remotely for some time now, and it has become the new norm globally. While some managers and leaders got adjusted to the new ways of managing their remote workforce, some are still facing challenges.

The most challenging part for managers is when it comes to tracking progress and reviewing their remote employees. And if it is the annual or half-yearly performance review season, the managers need to give effective and unbiased reviews.

Here are a few tips which could help review your remote employees better.

Know Your Employees

Knowing your remote employees and building trust with them is crucial. It is often underrated, but it cannot be ignored. While we understand it may not be humanly possible for managers with larger teams to know everyone personally, but where there is a will, there is a way. 

One way to know your employees is by having frequent one on ones with them. Having a regular two-way regular conversation with your employees builds a sense of trust and respect. They are more comfortable talking about their work.

Not only this, these conversations help managers to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the team members. It helps them to perform as a cohesive team, and set team and individual goals aligned to organizational goals.

Measure And Track Progress 

When employees are working remotely or working from home, it is important to track their progress. It helps them stay focused, engaged and prevents them from falling back. The simplest way to do this is to set SMART goals for your employees. We at Engagedly use OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) to set our SMART goals. This approach is one of the most effective and popular approaches to goal setting. It allows everyone to set stretchable, short-term, agile goals.

No matter which goal-setting approach you follow, it is important to know how to measure your progress on those goals. Most of the performance management software available in the market comes with a goal-setting module. When goals are set using a software, it increases transparency and trackability.

Use A Performance Management Software

Though it seems easier to review a team that is traditionally working at an office than a remote team, both come with their own set of challenges. As a manager, it is your responsibility to monitor and review the performance of your remote team without any biases. But often, managerial decisions are clouded by recency bias, inaccurate performance data, etc. You can easily overcome the above issues by using a performance management software.

A performance management software does not magically solve all your remote performance review issues. It is important to utilize features like performance cycles, timely reviews, competencies, feedback, and OKRs to make it work for your team. We recommend that managers track their employees’ goals regularly and come up with solutions to improve them. Have frequent one-on-one meetings and regular feedback so that employees are engaged and are on the right track.

Giving regular feedback and having frequent discussions with your team members makes reviewing their performance easy even though they are working remotely.

What most managers do not realize is that with the changing work culture, it is important to monitor the employee’s progress and help them with the roadblocks they face from time to time.

Employee check-ins are a great way for managers to gain a clear understanding of their employees. They help you improve your organization’s overall productivity by enabling managers and team members to frequently discuss any questions, concerns, or ideas they have. In the current scenario, where most organizations are still functioning remotely, the importance of weekly check-ins cannot be denied. It will not only help everyone stay updated but will also keep the employees engaged.

Instills Sense Of Responsibility

Employee check-ins allow you, as a manager, to motivate your employees to feel validated and heard that in turn results in improved performance and improved productivity.

Leadership And Problem Solving Skills

Having frequent discussions with different levels of employees helps you improve your leadership skills and helps the employees improve their problem-solving skills. This practice is a great way to understand the nature of work and predict any roadblocks and fix them beforehand.

Here are five simple virtual celebration ideas for this holiday season that will help your team bond remotely.

A Meet With Close Ones

Celebrations and holidays are incomplete without friends and family. Divide your team into small groups of five or six and invite them with their spouses, children, partners, and pets in the virtual happy hour. It will give everyone a chance to meet each other’s loved ones and know them better. Moreover, it also helps employees to connect at an informal level and improve their bond with each other. Otherwise, remote working has restricted a “business only” connection between the employees. It was not the case when people were working out of the physical workspace.

Online Meal

There’s no better way to connect with your peers and employees than sharing a meal together. In the current scenario, many organizations are still working remotely, and many countries have strict norms for social distancing. But a team lunch or dinner celebration is still possible. Yes, you heard it right! Companies like Amazon have initiated informal luncheons and cocktail parties for employees.

Book and schedule a suitable time slot of forty minutes to one hour on your team’s calendar for having the celebratory meal. Everyone can connect over a video call at the scheduled time and have their meal together. You can give them a chance to showcase their culinary skills by letting them bring in their own food. Alternatively, you can even get the meals delivered to their doorstep from nearby restaurants. It will help everyone to bond, especially the ones who joined the organization virtually.

Play An Online Game

Online games are a great way to get your office party started and your employees to bond. Board games are still a favorite among many, and they help in refreshing the mind and boost productivity. Board games like Chess, Checkers, and Scrabbles improve the thinking capacity of individuals. As a result, it leads to creativity and the generation of new ideas. Many online applications such as ‘Tabletopia,’ ‘Vassal,’ ‘Board Game Arena,’ and ‘Dicebreaker’ have online libraries and stimulations where employees can play with each other on their browsers.

Other online games such as UNO, BINGO, Pictionary, and charades are some great options too.

Annual Virtual Award Ceremony

As per a recent study, 69% of employees would have worked harder if they received appreciation for their efforts.

Awards and recognition motivate employees more than anything else. When employees receive rewards, recognition, or praise for their contribution, they feel valued. It makes them feel good and inspires them to continue to work harder. In this era of remote working, it is essential that your employees stay motivated and engaged at all times. So a year-end virtual award ceremony will motivate your employees for the year 2021. Some of the ways how you can recognize and reward your employees in the annual virtual award ceremony are:

– Give them awards digitally
– A call out for all those who performed exceedingly
– Gift cards for all the rewardees
– Announce names on company social media accounts
– Praise using a Real-Time Performance Management Software

You can choose to be creative to reward your employees and add some new and innovative categories for recognition and rewards. It will increase the probability of maximum people getting rewarded.

Over the past year, more than half of the global working population shifted to remote working due to COVID19. It has been quite some time now that teams have been working remotely and getting adjusted to the new normal. It has proved to be beneficial not only to the employees but also to the organizations. For organizations, it helped them in reducing the costs and recruiting employees globally. And, for employees, it allowed them to work flexibly. Remote working has a lot of benefits, but it comes with its own set of challenges. One of the major challenges faced by remote employees is that they suffer from anxiety and stress, which affects their mental and physical health. It results in disengagement and affects their productivity, which in turn affects the success of the organization.

Let us look at some of the common causes of stress and anxiety among remote employees:

– Lack of Social Interaction: When working from home, one might be disconnected from others for long hours. It can lead to loneliness and isolation, and have a negative impact on employee productivity and mental health

– Work / Life Balance: Employees unknowingly put in extra screen hours while working from home as there is no specific demarcation between work hours and non-work hours

– Too Many Distractions: While working from home, employees can get easily disengaged as there are too many distraction

Here are some tips for you which will help you manage your stress and that of your remote team.

Establish A Routine

Establish a clear and well-defined routine for yourself that will help you create a synergy between work and life. Decide on an appropriate start and end time for your work hours and stick to it. In-between your work hours, set apart some time to take breaks or interact with your peers to get your mind off from work. In addition to creating a work schedule, it is also recommended to design a schedule to include reading, exercise, and self-care in your daily routine.

Having a well-established schedule prevents employees from overworking and hence avoiding burnout.

Connect With Your Team Frequently

Connect with your employees on a weekly or bi-weekly basis depending on the need, to track their progress and share updates with them. Share with your team members all the rules and policy changes of the organization from time to time. It reduces uncertainty about the future and helps in reducing any possible anxiety.

As a manager, schedule one-on-one meetings over video conferencing tools with each member of your team to hear out their concerns. When communication takes place over a video call, it is easier to understand them as it sets a personal connection.

Frequent check-in with your employees keeps them engaged, reduces their stress, and they feel more connected to the organization.

Virtual Meditation And Yoga Classes

Yoga and meditation are known to reduce stress and calm the mind. Organize virtual yoga/meditation classes for your employees before or after work hours. With so many video conferencing tools such as Zoom, FaceTime, Google Meet, and Skype, it should be very simple to organize one easily. Reduce stress and produce a calming effect on the mind and body by encouraging your employees to practice breathing exercises whenever possible.

Team-Building Activity, But A Virtual One

Team building activities help employees to work better as a cohesive team. But in the current scenario, traditional team-building practices are not feasible anymore. So, plan and organize virtual team-building activities that will help in building a strong team culture. Meet over virtual lunches or conduct activities such as quiz sessions or a virtual book club. These activities will help in building a sense of trust among your team members and will keep them engaged. Moreover, these activities help employees to take some time off from work and reduce stress.

Empathize With Your Employees

Remote work is still a relatively new concept for most employees, so it can be overwhelming for them at times. Acknowledge and empathize with their struggles and anxiety so that they can stay engaged and productive for a longer period of time. Ask them simple questions such as, “Are you managing well so far in the remote work situation?” or ” Do you need any help to make your remote work experience better?”. Listen to their concerns and responses and find a solution. At times just talking and empathizing with your employees about their stress and anxiety can help a lot. Formalize and document the responses with the help of employee survey tools.

Engagedly’s inbuilt survey feature allows you to create and assign simple surveys to measure employee engagement, employee motivation, and employee happiness.

Identify High Productive Hours

According to research on ultradian rhythms, the human body follows a cycle that affects how productive they are. They go through a cycle of 90-120 minutes, where they go from a productive peak to an unproductive trough. 

Encourage your employees to identify their highly productive hours and schedule their most important work during those hours. During high productive hours, the human body is more active, focused, and more engaged at whatever it does. It helps employees to improve their intensity of focus and produce better results. The routine and less important work can be scheduled for low productive hours when the body is not as focused and engaged. It helps employees to improve their intensity of focus and produce better results.

The COVID-19 pandemic has completely limited our workspace to our homes. Globally, managers and leaders are suddenly finding themselves managing remote teams who are working from locations all over the world. This has created challenges for managers, including those from the HR industry. In this article, we have shared some tips on how to manage your remote team.

Setting Up Remote Work Space

Whenever a new employee joins the organization, the manager works on setting up the workspace, which includes assigning desks, providing laptops or desktops, and other important job-oriented necessities. Similarly, when employees are working from home, they need proper tools and applications to make their work easy. Employees should be able to collaborate and interact with each other easily with the help of these tools. Some of the tools which employees can be given access to, are:

• Engagedly: A real time performance management software to manage goals, performance reviews, rewards and recognition, and feedback
• Slack / Zoom / Google Meet: To communicate with each other easily
• Trello / Basecamp / Asana: For project management

These tools will help in improving employee engagement and productivity for remote employees.

Frequent One-on-Ones

Ensure to engage with your remote employees on a daily or weekly basis. Use emails, Instant Messaging, or Video Conferencing tools to communicate with your employees. As a manager, interact with them to know whether they need any support with their remote working. Keep them informed with all the rules and policy changes of the organization.

Video Conferencing

Conduct your weekly team meetings face-to-face over video conferencing tools, instead of conducting it over a call. As per the Harvard Business Review, when employees connect over a video conference, they feel more engaged and motivated. It sets a personal connection with the teammates, and everyone gets an in-office feeling, although working remotely. Tools such as Zoom, Google Meet, Slack, or Skype can be used for the meetings.

Recognize Success

Employee reward and recognition helps in improving employee engagement, productivity, and lowers the turnover rate. With everyone working from home, it is very common for employees to feel disengaged from time to time. As a manager of a remote team, appreciate and recognize your remote employees whenever possible. It is the best way to keep them engaged and motivated. Since traditional appreciation methods are ineffective in the present circumstances, you can do the following instead:

• Feature employees on the organization website
• Gamify your employee’s achievements
• Invest in performance management software that supports rewards and recognition functionality

Team Activities

Organize virtual team-building activities to motivate and engage your remote employees. Team building activities give all the employees a chance to engage and bond with each other. These activities help in building a human connection and trust irrespective of the physical distance. Activities such as a virtual book club, a quiz session, or facts sharing session can be conducted to involve and engage your employees. Make the team activities engaging so that your employees take part in them and not refrain from doing so.

Prevent Meeting Overload

Although connecting regularly or frequent check-in with your employees is recommended while managing a remote team, be careful not to overdo it. Holding too many meetings or check-ins will end up disturbing your team’s productivity instead of improving it. Schedule meetings before-hand and keep them short, preferably under 20 minutes. Group calls should be planned once or twice a week and not more than that. If the meeting is completely unavoidable, try to include small games in your meetings, which reduces the stress of your employees and makes it more interactive.

We at Engagedly value employee engagement and satisfaction, so we include games like ice-breaker challenges in our weekly meetings.

Be Flexible

As everyone is still getting adjusted to the new normal, give your team a certain degree of flexibility to work. Focus on whether the work gets done on schedule instead of stressing on the number of hours they punch or the time of the day when they work. Allow them to take a day off from work if they request one. Some time off from work will reduce employee burn-out, stress and anxiety which in turn, will improve employee engagement and productivity.
