Make formal agreements
Post-Covid, many companies will permanently be switching to hybrid working models. At that point, managers and supervisors should make formal agreements with their employees. A hybrid working model can only be a success if employees know precisely what the rules are.
Set clear objectives
A hybrid working model requires appropriate leadership skills. Make sure to set clear short- and long-term objectives for each employee. Also arrange regular one-on-one meetings, online or at the office, to talk about progress or any problems.
Keep up the engagement
People working from home a lot may start to feel disconnected from their team or company. It is up to you as a manager to keep your employees feeling as engaged as possible. You can do so by scheduling weekly team meetings, online or otherwise.
Mental health first
Working at home does entail certain risks. You as a manager must keep an eye on your employees’ mental health. If you feel that a particular team member is not doing well, you may want to call in help, like a burnout coach, a psychologist or an internal confidential adviser.
Keep learning
Homeworking does not have to mean your employees lose their development opportunities. In that context, it would be ideal for an organisation to have its own learning platform, with exciting workshops and useful tutorials.
