How to Know If Your Remote Employees Are Working

One of the biggest challenges in remote work is ensuring that remote employees are working. If your remote team productivity declines, this issue should be on your list.

Remote work environments have become common after the pandemic. However, many managers struggle with workflows and balancing work with other aspects of life.

The signs that your remote employees aren't doing real work will be covered in this guide to improve automation and efficiency in measuring productivity.

6 Signs Your Remote Employees Aren’t Working

Should you fire an employee who worked 39 hours instead of 40? Or give a strike for missing a single deadline?

There's probably no need. But when exactly do you know?

Everyone does some slacking off sometimes, but these are some situations when we should worry:

Low-Quality Or Incomplete Work

Has your employee suddenly started submitting shoddy or unfinished work? Have they been closing out tasks without having yet to do them?

Intervention is needed except for basic statistics such as active time or hours worked, which can never tell if an employee cuts corners and gives poor results.

A Significant Drop In Performance Or Productivity

Any sudden decline in performance or productivity when there isn’t a clear cause behind it is also alarming.

For instance, if an employee used to send about 100 emails daily, a fall back to 40 could indicate that something is interrupting their efficiency levels.

Stagnated Learning, Growth, Or Improvement

This factor is more subjective and has to be observed over weeks or months. Is this employee stagnating in terms of learning, growth, or improvement?

When you hire someone new, you understand they will occasionally mess things up and need help with some concepts. However, they should gradually improve and become more consistent as they gain experience.

This might indicate a lack of ambition if they have remained at the same level for the past few months.

Attitude Or Personality Issues

Are you getting a lot of backtalk, complaining, or negativity from an employee? Or do their coworkers describe them as difficult to work with?

It is not only about laziness but also inefficiency. They could be missing out entirely on their personal productivity goals and even pulling everyone else down.

Attitudes or personalities can change in such cases, and this should be your cue to act, especially if performance has dropped significantly.

They Never Seem To Be Available When You Need Them.

Everyone deserves a break.

The toilet, fresh air, or food; leaving the computer for a while is okay.

For example, if a boss called an employee six times in one day and that person didn’t pick up any of those calls, that would be a problem. Employees who are habitually and consistently unreachable probably aren’t performing as expected.

Infringement Of Duties And Responsibilities

Making an objective, measurable evaluation may be difficult since individual and organizational levels affect employee responsibilities and roles differently.

Suppose some of your staff members fail to meet expectations or do not fulfill their obligations significantly. In that case, taking action and recommending measures necessary to correct this situation is essential.
