Description
Remote working is on the increase. However, managing a remote team is not always the same as managing a traditional, single-site office-based team and it poses a variety of operational and logistical challenges for both managers and remote workers themselves. There are also potential problems related to trust, time management, motivation and feelings of isolation and lack of connectedness from both manager and employee sides.
