A Simple Way to Boost Your Remote Team’s Performance

Share this:

Is your staffing firm still using a remote or hybrid workplace model?

If so, today’s post shares a simple way to boost your remote employees’ performance:

Provide frequent feedback.

Research from Gallup illustrates the importance of regular communication and feedback:

  • Most employees – even those who receive negative feedback – would prefer to receive more. Nearly half (47%) of employees report receiving feedback from their manager “a few times a year” or less, and 19% get feedback once a year or less!
  • Frequent feedback from management can cause remote workers to have higher engagement levels than their in-office counterparts.

With employee engagement proving to be an even stronger predictor of your staffing firm’s performance during tough economic times, taking steps to boost engagement is just smart business. And boosting that engagement starts with providing amazing internal customer service. It makes sense: When your team gets the communication, feedback and support they need, it creates a virtuous cycle of success. So, whether your staff is remote or back in the office, use these tips to ensure your team is motivated to give you their best.
