Modernize digital tools and workflows<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To improve <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/best-practices-for-employee-productivity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">employee productivity<\/a> and engagement, managers will need to rethink the way they operate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Digital technology and workflows have already become central pillars of the modern workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet in a remote work setting, it is even more important to modernize tools and workflows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Doing so will have an immediate and positive impact on the workforce:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Employees will be more engaged and productive when they have the proper tools at their disposal.<\/li><li>Modern digital workflows result in a better employee experience, which will improve metrics such as job satisfaction.<\/li><li>The right tools can decrease software-related frustration, which can, in turn, boost productivity and performance.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, the right digital solutions are necessary to create a positive and productive work environment, which goes a long way towards improving <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/how-to-improve-employee-performance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">employee performance<\/a> and behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Leverage remote training solutions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Skills training has become essential for the modern enterprise worker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even before the pandemic, it was widely recognized that employees would need to become <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/agenda\/2019\/03\/continuous-learning-changing-world-work\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">perpetual learners<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, for the remote workforce in particular, it is essential to provide effective digital training online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Digital adoption platforms (DAPs), such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/digital-adoption-platform\/?t=21&amp;camp=walkme-blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WalkMe<\/a>, are used by some of the world\u2019s largest companies to automate and streamline software training \u2013 both online and off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It includes enabling solutions such as:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Context-driven guidance and tips<\/li><li>In-app software walkthroughs and product tours<\/li><li>Software analytics that offer insight into users\u2019 training needs<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When used as part of a comprehensive digital adoption strategy, WalkMe can simplify the employee experience, reduce errors, improve software proficiency and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/shutterstock_1069544213-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10928\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/shutterstock_1069544213-1-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/shutterstock_1069544213-1-1.jpg?resize=300,218 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Standardize business processes and communication protocols<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest barriers to effective remote work is collaboration with teammates, according to the Buffer survey cited above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There can be a number of underlying reasons that cause communication difficulties in the remote work environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, some employees may be working in different time zones or they may use different software.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Often, collaboration problems&nbsp; boil down to differences in communication styles and expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since remote workers are no longer in the same office, many nonverbal or informal communication cues are stripped away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To compensate, managers should <a href=\"https:\/\/change.walkme.com\/standardization\/?t=21&amp;camp=walkme-blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">standardize business processes<\/a> and communication rules.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By clarifying procedural expectations and making adjustments as needed, it will be much easier to minimize communication problems online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Make time for social interaction<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At the office, employees can engage in informal social interaction at any time of the day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While many of us may have never fully realized the advantages that this type of environment offers, the pandemic has highlighted how important social interaction is for the worker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Social isolation, as Buffer\u2019s survey pointed out, is actually the top challenge for remote workers \u2013 tied for first place with effective collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only does social isolation pose problems for the individual employee, it also poses problems for managers, the team, and the entire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/what-is-organizational-culture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">workplace culture<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best ways to mitigate the negatives associated with social isolation is to incorporate online social time into the workday. These can include virtual \u201cwatercooler chats\u201d via Zoom, video games, or anything else that gives employees a chance to bond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/shutterstock_1728065929-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10931\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/shutterstock_1728065929-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/shutterstock_1728065929-1.jpg?resize=300,140 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Proactively listen to employees<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As we reviewed, social isolation and effective collaboration are two of the biggest obstacles that remote teams will face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, every team and every workplace is unique. Each will have its own obstacles to surpass when it comes to remote working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to assess the state of one\u2019s team, as well as one\u2019s own management efforts, is to continually and proactively solicit feedback from employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Surveys, and even conversations, can be valuable sources of information in this regard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once that information has been collected and understood, it can be leveraged to help build the ideal remote workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img height=\"536\" width=\"1024\"
