Ways to manage employees working outside the office premise

In many cases it can be seen that there are employees working outside the office premises and it is not that manage them. There are certain ways to make these employees working outside the office premise.

Setting clear expectations is one of the one stop solutions to manage employees working outside the office premise. Trust and transparency are the foundation of every successful business venture. There needs to be an element of trust as well as transparency between the boss and the employees and all other staff of a particular organisation or business venture. It is mandatory that both you and your employee should discuss in detail about the various happenings taking place in the organisation or the business set up. There should also be a clear and transparent communication between the boss and the employees regarding the mutual expectations of the working details, communication, achieving the target by the deadline and the various desirables at the start of the business. Monitoring and assessing the performance of people who work outside the office premises is perhaps the most significant managerial challenge. It can be helpful to measure their effectiveness in terms of their output rather than the hours they work.

Every business involves the use of some sort of equipment which employees need to do their job, and this equipment is generally provided by the business. While some personal use of business equipment is realistically to be expected, problems can arise when the personal use is excessive.

Problems that can arise in the personal use of equipment that belongs to the business, such as computers, tools, or vehicles, include:

·   Broken equipment, which may cause disputes over who is responsible for repair

·         Lost productivity, as employees use work time for personal tasks involving business equipment

·         Premature wear and maintenance on the equipment

·      Morale problems if certain personal use habits are suddenly curtailed or if only some employees are allowed to use the equipment

 

 Telecommuting has increased in popularity among employees and   employers. Rather than sitting on congested highways during   morning and evening commutes, modern workers can go to work at   home, using technology to connect them with co-workers, customers   and suppliers. Employees can spend the reclaimed time with family   and friends or fulfilling personal obligations. As a result, modern   employment opportunities can offer an improved balance between   personal and work life that results in better health and enhanced job   satisfaction and performance.
