In the past year, we have seen major ups and downs for companies across the world. Businesses have had to reduce their workforce, enforce remote work, and some have even had to close their franchises altogether. Needless to say, remote employees everywhere have had a hard time coping with these difficult times. According to Gallup, only 36% of employees are engaged as of 2020. The rest feel impartial and can’t seem to approach their jobs with any passion.

In this article, we’ll share some ideas on how to revamp your relationship with your business’s remote workers and make them feel appreciated, included, and a valuable part of your team.

Let’s get started.

Struggling with Remote Employee Disengagement?

The pressure has risen so much that many employees struggle to muster any excitement and enthusiasm at work. A major part of that comes directly from being confined away from an office space’s regular, social working environment.

Unfortunately, disengagement isn’t a matter that can be ignored. Businesses directly benefit from a passionate and exuberant workforce, with profits going up by 22%.

So, how do you motivate your team? Do you offer bonuses or higher wages to entice them? We have a better solution for you. Nothing beats a human connection when it comes to motivating your team. We encourage employers to build a strong connection with their employees to boost their productivity, give them confidence, and encourage them to be efficient.
