Abstract

Although the concept of remote employees is not new, companies increasingly find themselves dealing with remote workforce concerns and challenges. The recent event of the COVID-19 pandemic caused many employers to change the way their workforce operates by changing to a remote workforce model. While some companies were ill equipped to deal with this sudden, drastic change, many organizations found the change to be a positive one from the standpoint of overhead cost savings. The positive financial implications, however, were met with leadership, management and employee challenges. This paper explores the challenges and benefits of having a remote workforce and offers recommendations to leaders and managers on how best to support their employees in this growing type of organizational structure.
