Today's #TwitterSession would focus on "Remote Working Models".

@tameday @Talmetrix

#COVID19 #StayAtHomeAndStaySafe #HRwithEM

Following the advice by @NCDCgov that people should #TakeResponsibility and #StayAtHome to #PreventCOVID19Spread, it has become imperative for organisations to activate #remoteworking mode.

@tameday @Talmetrix

I will be discussing three (3) types of #remoteworking models to choose from, so you can make the best choice for you and your team.

1. One Central Office with Occasional Work From Home Days

@tameday @Talmetrix

#COVID19 #StayAtHomeAndStaySafe #HRwithEM

This is probably the most common remote work model, as many companies have a central office but still offer their employees the ability to work from home for a specific number of days per week, month or year.

@tameday @Talmetrix

#COVID19 #StayAtHomeAndStaySafe #HRwithEM

If you’re designing a #remotework model centred around this approach, start small with 1 or 2 days a month. Listen to how your team responds to it and what their needs are, then either scale up or down as required.

2. One Central Office with Work From Anywhere Days

@tameday @Talmetrix

#COVID19 #StayAtHomeAndStaySafe #HRwithEM

This model is really closely aligned to the previous one, but with one significant difference: employees can work from anywhere they want, as long as they have a stable internet connection.

@tameday @Talmetrix

One of the biggest benefits of this model is you’re not necessarily limited geographically.

@tameday @Talmetrix

#COVID19 #StayAtHomeAndStaySafe #HRwithEM

You can look for the best staff in the world—not in your locality—which obviously broadens the net for talent and insulates you a little from local staff being poached by other local companies.

@tameday @Talmetrix

This model can also significantly offset operating costs (i.e. minimising office space, etc.).

3. No Office with Completely Remote Work

@tameday @Talmetrix

#COVID19 #StayAtHomeAndStaySafe #HRwithEM

This one could be the trickiest, but also the most profitable, alluring and advanced remotework model. In it, you forego an office space and have all your employees work remotely from wherever they are in the world. 

@tameday @Talmetrix

#COVID19 #StayAtHomeAndStaySafe #HRwithEM

If you choose this model, you will have to make accountability, communication and team- and project-management your main priorities.

@tameday @Talmetrix

#COVID19 #StayAtHomeAndStaySafe #HRwithEM

You can do things like schedule regular video meetings once a week and use technology tools such as @Tameday to keep all the work and messaging in one central location.

@tameday @Talmetrix
