How to stay organized at work

Expectations are the best met when you are organized and know who you are working with.

The idea of giving up physical control of your employees through remote working can be challenging for many business owners, especially if they were brought up with the 9-to-5 mentality. However, rising costs of office space, equipment, utilities, and transportation makes the idea of remote working a very attractive option for many small and medium business owners as well as their employees.

Advanced communication technology makes physical distance a moot point. A prospective employee may be in another state or even country, and communications would be just as easy as talking across a desk. Many employers already regularly outsource certain tasks to third-party suppliers for some time.

This is not necessarily a bad thing if you acknowledge the need to rethink the way you manage your business in the first place. You can effortlessly become an organized remote worker if you follow these tips, and reap the many benefits of remote working.

Now that you have your list of desired employees, it is time to choose how to find and hire them. Most remote workers use online job boards such as We Work Remotely to post

vacancies for people that are already onboard with the concept of remote work.

You can do the same thing, but be aware that in most instances, you have to pay a fee to post a job. Do your research before contracting with job boards. Check out forums on the job boards you are considering to get advice and tips from remote work employers.

Some remote work employers allow remote workers to set their own time, especially when there is a time zone difference, but require them to use time monitoring software. This will allow you to keep track of the work hours of your employers for payroll purposes.
