It's a good idea that managers should keep employees motivated from long distance. A way to get back to your employees is through the feedback by letting them know how they are doing with their work. Communicating frequently and giving positive feedback of the performance of the employee.

Working at home can be boring and difficult! Thank you Dr. Ricardo for this segment. Keeping employees goal oriented and motivated is important. Determine the goals and the manager and employee are both held accountable for the success or failure of that goal! The best way to do that is to find a healthy balance of feedback between the manager and employee. Making sure you’re not hovering, while also not neglecting your employee.

I found this podcast helpful because at times I do work from home while my staff remains working in the office. With all that has changed within our home and work lives the past six months, it is important to keep the employees in the loop so that they feel part of the plan, while ensuring that they are still needed and their jobs are secure. Most of all, positivity is key, leading your team with positivity will keep the employees engaged and eager to come back to work each day.

You are right- Working at Home is helpful for showing empathy to employees who are directed to work from home. To strengthen mutual understanding and needed support within the employee-employer long-distance relationship, it is good to verbally acknowledge the challenges that working from home entails. It is also wise to consider the amount of support being given to the employee because giving too little or giving too much support could be unhelpful to employee productivity.

I completely agree it’s very important for managers to encourage their team however, some managers and supervisors they only care about themselves nothing else. Communication it’s really important, sometimes we need a words of encouragement to help workers motivated specially when working from home. You lock yourself in a room no one to talk with, but knowing that you have someone to motivate you it’s really helpful.

Working from home has become a new norm for a lot of us. To make this transition easier I feel like the manager should do their best to motivate employees and give more feedback as they would have in the workplace.

Being encouraging is so important! I definitely agree that making yourself available to your employees and checking in to see if they need anything is important! I love the idea of giving feedback but not too much. Keeping everyone in the loop is awesome too.

Manager feedback is so powerful! Not just feedback but also just insight. For example, when my manager and I end a team meeting, she will ping me on Slack and say what did you think about the meeting? She expresses that she values my insight. She then shares her analysis which helps me grow and see things I did not see before. The encouragement is everything as Professor Ricardo stayed. The empathy for the individuals situation, be it kids at home, etc.

This episode is great for managers who have employees working from home. It will also be good for professors because students like myself aren’t use to online classes. Students sometimes get discouraged when they are not in a classroom with a passionate professor teaching them about the subject. It is important that professors provide feedback on assignment and reassure the students know that they available.

This podcast is really good. The main points I got from this were that it is important for managers to support their employees through feedback and asking if they need any help but to not micromanage them and kill their productivity. With business becoming more remote many of us are learning how to work from home and be productive.Without constant direction and guidance managers will need to be more aware and learn how to communicate effectively with their employees.
