Working with Remote Workers Efficiently in a Global Medical, Economic Crisis

With the current pandemic’s hands over our necks, for many businesses, big and small alike, there are no other options but to shutter the offices and start mobilizing employees with remote work arrangements.
For many, this could be the first time encountering this unexpected situation. It was never an option in the first place, especially for some traditionally-run and service-based businesses.
I’ve heard of employers installing spy cams and spyware into employee laptops to keep tabs on their workers’ working hours and to micro-manage their employees. I, personally, don’t think we have to go that far.
Trust, especially when you already have a team of reliable, loyal staff, is what we need despite the unexpected aberration from the norm.
How do I know this? I’ve been doing it for 2 decades and trust is one of the things that will keep your employees with you when all of this blows over.
On top of keeping your customers/clients up-to-date with the latest happenings in your company, there are so many ways to help your employees get things done during this lockdown.
In fact, at the end of all this, you are going to realize that remote working is actually VERY POSSIBLE and highly EFFECTIVE.
