3 Common Challenges of Remote Work
Working from home is different from working in the office. In the company, all employees work together, and they will work hard due to visible pressure. At home, however, the environment is more loose, comfortable and they work without supervision. Therefore, employees may be easily distracted and become lazy. In the remote work model, employers will face the following common challenges:
Less Supervision and Communication
On the one hand, employers cannot monitor employees at a close distance because they do not work in a unified office. On the other hand, most employees lack self-discipline and they may not work as hard or efficiently at home as they do in the office.
Distractions at Home
Employees will face many temptations when they work at home. During work hours, they may play games, browse web pages that are not related to work, shop online, chat with friends on social media, etc. These behaviors will undoubtedly decrease work efficiency and they cannot complete work on time.
Hard to Calculate Hours Worked
When employees work in the company, the time of daily work and break is fixed every day. However, once employees work at home, the situation becomes different. The employees may check-in and do other non-work related things instead of focusing on their work.
