The learning hub

Getting back to work after a vacation can be hard. It requires readjusting to schedules, routines and workload. And this is even harder for people who work from home. Although remote workers may have a more flexible schedule, they still need to find the motivation to pick up where they left off. 

As more and more people work remotely, managers also need to find ways to motivate their employees and keeping their team engaged and productive. 

While safe from office related distractions, people who work from home are faced with other challenges like things that need to be done around the house or unexpected visitors or family members that require their attention. They also need time off work, to rest and recharge their batteries. 

Maintaining a good and productive working environment is one of the main goals of every manager. And the focus falls on a positive culture in the workplace which is essential for employee retention, satisfaction and productivity. And when your team is working remotely, creating such a culture can present some challenges.

More and more teams are changing their activity to working remotely. This change is a good thing, as stated in a study by eJobs Romania: even under normal circumstances, 8 out of 10 Romanians would like to work from home.  Even more, under the threat of the COVID-19 pandemic, people are willing to isolate themselves at home and not be exposed to any risk by commuting to work. It is estimated that by now, over 500.000 Romanians are working from home.
