5 Ways To Keep Track Of Your Remote Employee

If you have opted to work with a remote employee (as opposed to an offshore freelancer), then there are 5 smart ways how you can keep track of their work and progress. Since this resource works from a supervised office anyway, your task becomes that much easier. These 5 tools can jumpstart your collaborative efforts as well.

Video Conferencing

The really reputed service providers will have advanced communication technology in place such as video conferencing. With the help of video conferencing, you can easily have a face-to-face interaction with your remote employee whenever you wish. It takes the sting of anonymity out of outsourcing.

Give regular feedback

The most common mistake that some clients make is to outsource work to the remote employee and then forget to keep in regular touch. It is crucial to keep giving regular feedback so that any errors or miscommunication gets rectified almost as soon as it appears. A pile-up of errors only leads to chaos and, ultimately, loss of money and productive hours.

Have special tracking software installed

Thanks to the strides in information technology, a client sitting thousands of miles away can easily keep track of almost a minute-by-minute activity log of their remote employee. They can request the service provider to have that software installed in

their employee’s system.

Make use of online collaboration tools

Check the internet. Cyberspace is filled with easy-to-use collaboration tools like DropBox, Skype, PC Sharing , Co-op, etc. Make use of them and be fully aware of just what your remote employee is working on.

The vendor is your representative!
