All content has been updated as of January 2022.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When working from home, the <a href=\"\/en\/blog\/what-is-work-life-balance\/\">definition of work-life balance<\/a> takes on a different meaning and can be more and more challenging to disconnect as a result. Research shows that employees who feel like they have a healthy work-life balance are more effective at work and experience less burnout. As companies and their employees continue embracing remote work, leaders need to help their teams find a solid balance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are four ways to ensure your remote team continues to achieve a productive yet healthy work-life balance that you can effectively manage now and in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Check in and be supportive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\nRemote work can often feel isolating. To keep your employees engaged and connected, check on them frequently. Do so informally both at the individual and group level to gauge the sentiment of your remote team. Instead of just asking how your remote workers are doing, try being more specific. Below are examples of questions that will provide you deeper insight into the performance of your remote teams:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What areas do you feel are going well for you right now?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do you have the tools you need to succeed in your role?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In what areas do you need help currently?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\nEveryone has unique needs when working remotely. Learn how your employees are handling this environment and see if you can provide any extra support. Feeling supported in their role can help diminish any stress employees are experiencing.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\n2. Evaluate your remote team\u2019s ability to be resilient<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\nRemote work-life balance looks different for each of your employees, so how do you help them manage this change? Understanding your team members\u2019 resilience \u2013 their capacity to adapt positively to pressure, setbacks, challenges, and changes to achieve peak performance \u2013 is a great place to start. There are many tools and resources that can help you identify this, such as using a team or individual assessment which measures the key components of resilience (e.g., optimism, adaptability, support seeking, etc.). You can then provide development opportunities to encourage your remote employees to grow in this area through coaching, webinars, or books.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Virtually partner up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\nOne way to combat your team members from feeling disconnected is by creating a virtual mentorship program. Partner up employees and work with them to schedule opportunities to check-in, reflect on their performance, and discuss their professional goals. These meetings allow employees to discuss how they have been managing the remote work environment and creates the opportunity to discuss tools and resources that will help both parties learn and grow. No one should feel like they need to tackle stress alone, and a mentorship program is a great way to provide additional support to one another.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Adjust scheduling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that not only are your remote employees working from home, but they are likely managing their children\u2019s educational or daycare needs, providing care for a loved one, or balancing schedules with other members of their household. It can be difficult for employees to juggle their typical work schedule with these additional demands. As a manager, you can adjust team meeting times to work for your employees\u2019 responsibilities at home or alternate the times. For example, one week have a team meeting that occurs in the morning, and the following week schedule the meeting in the afternoon. Everyone\u2019s needs will be different, so make sure you provide support to your team and be flexible where possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there is much that we can\u2019t control right now, there are ways that leaders can better manage and support their remote teams. Remote collaboration takes a bit more effort in a virtual world, but will prove effective and successful when your employees feel valued, feel as if they have the necessary flexibility to navigate this way of working, and feel close (or as close as they can feel) to their managers and teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-vertically-aligned-center is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);grid-template-columns:40% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"828\" src=\"http:\/\/talogy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/cta-whitepaper-cover-leading-remote-teams.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4510 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/talogy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/cta-whitepaper-cover-leading-remote-teams.jpg 640w, https:\/\/talogy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/cta-whitepaper-cover-leading-remote-teams-232x300.jpg 232w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Leading remote teams: new trends and challenges for managers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Remote work is expected to continue to rise even after the recent pandemic subsides.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\nThree out of four CEOs recently surveyed indicated they will not bring all employees back on site (Gartner, 2020). With this shift, managers will need to understand how to work remotely themselves, as well as how to lead a team with less structure, fewer opportunities to communicate, and collaboration enabled by technology.\n\nManagers are uniquely positioned to help people realize the benefits of remote work by adapting their leadership style to mitigate the potential pitfalls.\n\nThis whitepaper takes a closer look at how organizations can focus on hiring and developing managers with the key competencies proven to be most necessary for success when leading highly efficient and productive remote teams.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Agility: how managers respond to change and help people handle challenges independently<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Achievement: how managers adapt their work practices to drive action and ensure accountability<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Affiliation: how managers overcome the physical distance required to coach others and build a supportive team<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/info.talogy.com\/en-us\/leading-remote-teams\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article about creating a successful work-life balance was originally published in August 2020.
