Remote work programs are growing in popularity as more businesses become aware of the many benefits they offer. The COVID-19 pandemic illustrated the power of remote work and brought this approach to many businesses for the first time, and now it plays a critical role in many business continuity strategies. How can you be certain your business is getting the most out of your remote work efforts? Remote work team assessments and optimization services from Smart HR can help your organization optimize its remote work program to raise output and productivity while ensuring employee satisfaction.
Smart HR’s Remote Work Team Assessments & Optimization Process
We will begin by collecting information about your current remote work efforts using a combination of sources, including:

- Corporate metrics and reporting
- Employee surveys
- Client interviews
We will use this information to assess and review the following areas:

- Challenges in remote work on a company-wide and individual employee basis

- Assessing the readiness of current employees whose positions may become remote
- Any other relevant areas that our research identifies
