Ways to ensure your remote onboarding process runs smoothly
The COVID pandemic has transformed the lives of millions of people across the world. With one of the most significant changes arising in the need for employees to begin working completely remotely. Yet, this comes with its associated problems.
Remote work can be difficult for the best of us. It can be hard for employees to strike a good work-life balance when their home becomes their office. Additionally, it’s a challenge for managers who cannot oversee the running of projects and tasks in the same way as before. It’s difficult for managers to recruit the right candidate remotely, as well as it being difficult for new employees who are still in the process of training, yet cannot receive the proper one-to-one training they require.
However, it is not all doom and gloom. Factorial’s HR software can provide your company with the solutions to the many issues that arise from remote working, making the process smooth sailing.
It is important to have a platform in which employees can clock in and out of when they begin and finish their working day. This helps managers see how many hours their employees are working, enabling them to analyse and manage their employees’ productivity levels from the safety of their own home. This is not only useful for managers but also employees. When working from home, it becomes easier to work overtime, as your home life and work life merge into one. Whilst in the past when you finished work you would leave the office and leave work there, but when your home is your office it becomes a lot harder to compartmentalise. Meaning a clock in and out feature facilitates employees in tracking the hours they have worked, so once they have completed their 8 hours they can clock out and leave work behind them. Factorial’s time tracking feature provides this. Additionally, this shift management feature enables you to see who is working remotely and who isn’t, facilitating the management of the number of people working in the office at any given time. This software completely abolishes the headache that comes with the shift management of remote workers.
