[overcast]

Due to pandemic a lot of people are now hiring other remote workers from around the world. And that means there is going to be a demand for new workers from here onwards. I am wondering if there are going to be norm for how to handle workers in remote format.

If you have experience in this area, how do you handle remote workers?

 

[Claraviolet]

I don't have any experience when it comes to handling workers remotely.
Still, as part of my internship I worked in a very small company where the CEO connected to us remotely, everyday. He needed daily updates from all of us and if we were stuck somewhere, he would look for a long explanation for the same.

So, I believe while connecting with people remotely, you need to give them some freedom and shouldn't always ask for too many updates. People would be stressed if we need daily updates.

 

[Braga13]

I think distance is not a problem today as long as the Internet is present. Especially if the work was on the net

 

[Kamon c4]

Ensure you have effective communications with them frequently. Technology has made everything easier. Make it mandatory for them to give weekly reports about the situation of the business

 

[Sincerem]

This have been going on, before now. It's no longer a new thing to me, i see websites, businesses hiring people remotely to provide support and work from home, or any where on earth. You can go through search engines and find so many of them, accepting applications from people all over the world to work remotely.

 

[Nurudeen]

The best way to handle workers remotely is to give them target. If your workers are working remotely, they need to work based on target, because if they are not doing that, they can waste their time on other frivolous things during the course of work and can lead to unproductivity in the work they are doing

The modern technology has made it easier for all individual endeavors, most especially business interactions terms. However, there are varieties of ways in which we can handle remote workers, and they are as follows:
-Organizing meetings through Zoom
- Webcam internet channels
- WhatApp group chat, or conference video call, and
- Tiktoks

 

[Ojonuyo]

Handling overseas workers remotely can be quit challenges as your presence is not felt. And most worker might take this as a freedom to do whatever they want. If you run a company overseas get a manager to cover up when you are gone. While if it is online business, you are good to go.

 

[Alexandoy]

I used to be a paid poster of a logistics website that deals with supply chain and import/export activities. Companies with branches abroad especially with a big number of workers has a monitoring system. A big bank that I know has their attendance record in the network so the manager can easily check who is present. Add to that the projects that are assigned to each staff then you can be managing the employees by remote control.

 

[shakky2]

handling overseas workers remotely shouldn't be a problem if you possess what it takes and understand your role in the function.you have to be mildly strict as well as discipline such that if you are not available they will still stress the need to be diligent in their roles

 

[eenya00]

Handling overseas workers remotely can be very demanding and challenging due to the language barrier, distance and cultural differences but with the rise of technological advances, it is a bit more easier now to surmount these barriers except the staff in question has an attitude problem.

 

[Ralphjoe]

Managing overseas workers is a bit kind of difficult being that you are not physically present there to give them instructions and guidelines for work. This can make it look complicated but a good manager should be able to improvise and manage them in th right way.

 

[Trojan8]

With handling remote workers, one have to make an adjustment on certain things. There are not with you physically so it would be quite different keeping an eye on them. Having a safe means where you can watch their level of work is the sure bet, you could do video calls or have them log in a note at a particular time.

 

[mayreeh38]

My brother currently works in a Chinese firm. The problem is the language barrier. An Interpreter is being hired so that communication can be effective. If there are guidelines and they understand themselves I think there will be mutual understanding.

 

[Richard92]

It is very difficult to manage workers overseas but it all depends on your management structures, you need to have coordinators or supervisor who help you to manage your business overseas and also give you report on how your business is progressing.

 

[Blessingedidiong]

Technology has made it easier for us to connect with people anywhere in the world and at anytime. To handle overseas workers, make use of technology. A web site where daily report will be submitted could be created.

 

[Milz]

Maintain communication with them. Ensure they lack nothing as that would boost performance. Demand weekly or bi-weekly report from them as that would keep them in check. Ensure they are paid on the due date.

 

[arrain1120]

Your location of work for remote work across borders is still your physical location. So if you are doing remote work for a US company while present in EU you are working in EU. ... Not because your employer is in the US but because of your US citizenship. You would also need to pay any and all local taxes. In many cases, you will be able to carry out your professional activities as legitimately as you would domestically. This means working on your daily tasks, video conferencing, and even meeting clients face-to-face.

 

[abubakar3141]

How do you remotely pay your overseas employees?
Pay an employee on the payroll in your home country. ...
Ask a local affiliate or organization of a third party to put them on their payroll. ...
To control the remote workers, outsource payroll. ...
Pay them as consultants who are autonomous.

 

[Eodine]

Now that we have started getting accustomed to work from different parts of the world we can also try to adjust to work remotely, try getting a work environment for your self and creating a conducive environment.

 

[Ibrahim]

As for me distance is really the problem because trusting any workers nowadays is very dangerous because if care is not taken you will never get anything from your business but if the business is all about online then you don't have problem with that because you can easily follow up online

 

[Bilal0087]

If you have experience in this area, how do you handle remote workers?

I do not have any type of Idea and experiences about online handling the worker but I think in this age of Science and Technology it is not difficult to handle Overseas workers.
A person can create application to have meeting on video conferencing to check out the activity of the workers.

 

[Shayo]

Communication is the key in this case, putting rules and regulations in place as well. Remote workers are just as easy to control and manage as the close workers, make sure you lay out proper rules which new remote workers must abide to in order to get paid. Communication can be done through emails, video conference calls.

 

[Philip Omotayo]

To handle oversees workers remotely, companies policies must stand out to for the workers to be able to work without prejudice. Their KPI must measure up with their numeration. And their should be ground rules on their mode of operation. Each employees should have a supervisor that would ensure that they do their jobs well.

 

[Hasan Raza]

This have been going on, before now. It's not, at this point another thing to me, I see sites, organizations recruiting individuals distantly to offer help and work from home, or anyplace on earth. You can experience web indexes and find so many of them, tolerating applications from individuals everywhere on the world to work distantly.

 

[Abbas007]

You can get good targets from the workers only if you guide the supervisor properly in this line and then issue a notice that you need to complete this target in so many days and above all you arrange a meeting with the workers every week.

 

[Briangsam]

The global pandemic has shown the world that we can remotely work and be effective at it. This has lead to many employers to engage remote workers all around the globe and so far so good.

 

[Dubai]

Due to pandemic a lot of people are now hiring other remote workers from around the world. And that means there is going to be a demand for new workers from here onwards. I am wondering if there are going to be norm for how to handle workers in remote format.

If you have experience in this area, how do you handle remote workers?

Although, I have no much experience in this regards, I am also open to learning the tips for management in this circumstance. But let me chip this in, you would need to ask for weekly or daily report of the workers. You should be interested in knowing what their out out was. Make sure you monitor the workers as well as knowing what their challenges are.

 

[Sariana23]

The best way to work remotely is to set a schedule according to each country, have a fluid communication by whatsapp or online. In this schedule the guidelines are given by the employer and in turn the employee will deliver the corresponding report. This by mutual agreement, without the time difference can affect any of the parties involved.

 

[Mawome]

Handling overseas workers remotely is something that requires understanding and addiquate training, becouse the people you are currently dealing with are high profile individual they are important, if anything happens to them the country where they come from will not be happy with you and the company they worked with.

 

[Erik4150]

Honestly I don't recommended using remote workers who live in foreign countries but then it mostly depends on the kind of work they are doing for you.

 

[Setho]

I have seen a lot of companies do thief work almost without a headquarters and their staff am work remotely. There are a lot of remote tracking and team building platforms like zoom which you can manage such platforms.

 

[Damscooguns73]

Concerning handling overseas workers remotely. Well, I believe technology has played a very important role in this part and it has helped made communication easier and faster. All you need to do is to ensure adequate and frequent communication with them

 

[Setfragil]

There is no special ways in treating workers all workers should be treated fairly and equally regardless of their nationality. You should maintain a high level of communication with them and make sure their welfare are well attended to.

 

[Chibson]

Even though I do not have much experience in handling overseas workers remotely, but I think communication is very important in this area. Feedback is also very important.

 

[Grant]

It really comes down to vetting who you hire. For the most part, it's kind of easy to set up remote work. It just comes down to finding reliable workers who can handle the work.

 

[IamDozzy]

Most workers working remotely are always mandated by their parent company to always have their webcam on during work hours and ensure connection is string and steady so as to enable proper monitoring.

 

[Spicywilfred]

In handling these remote workers the use of the internet for communication is needed. Communication is the key if there's a steady communication process between the workers and of course their employers then things can be organized and done properly.

 

[Richard92]

Maintain communication with them. Ensure they lack nothing as that would boost performance. Demand weekly or bi-weekly report from them as that would keep them in check. Ensure they are paid on the due date.

This is possible but it will be stressful for the owner of the business and it will take you dedication of the business owner another or he or she to be able to achieve this.

Although I wish I could also be among the remote workers hired by overseas company,but am not and of which I don't hear anything about that online,if assuming I heard about it am very sure I will be one of them right now tho.

 

[GIFTMICHAEL]

I'm not experienced when it comes to managing employees remotely. Maybe you enroll in a course at udemy at learn more about this field and you'll be guided.

 

[Kelly5]

Remote working from overseas have been around for quite many years now even before the advent of the dreaded covid-19. Handling it has always been the way it has been till now based on the kind of task given to the person overseas.

 

[Setho]

The world has now become very ell digital and you do not need all those physical meetings any longer. You can do this by using team management softwares to schedule.

 

[Senator]

Online remote working has been on for so long a time as I can remember. All these freelancing platforms you've been working from and carrying out job operations from are all done remotely. There is just nothing new about this

 

[Shigobad2020]

I have not had an experience of handling and hiring a remote workers around the world , but I think its a great experience and since you are the boss, you can dictate the norms of how the work is going to be.

 

[nimzy]

Well I don't have experience on this topic because even thou am not a manager because I believe managers may have a better knowledge about how to handle the situation but I believe the situation can be handled just as any other things are handled that is by adopting the principles of labor of that particular country to the foreigners.

 

[Eodine]

I think distance is not a problem today as long as the Internet is present. Especially if the work was on the net

I think that the pandemic had opened our eyes to see how useful other remote workers can be and thankfully we have new applications that can help us communicate easily to assign tasks.

 

[Abigael]

Handling overseas employees is very possible these days, it is well enhanced by technology. You can do that by the use of web cameras to monitor performance or to carry out meetings. Moreover, you can easily pay your workers from wherever you are using several payment methods.

 

[Sheyemanu]

Well, in reply to your question in the above post concerning how to handle remote workers from overseas, well, I am of the opinion that you can handle workers remotely effectively if you have good management skill and you are effective with using the computer

 

[Setho]

This days, with the right technology in place, you can very control your employees and have job done even if you ate going to do so from a remote location.

 

[Ojonuyo]

Remote workers would not go against the set Rules and regulations if they get penalized whenever they go wrong. Every business owner should set Rules and regulations and abide by it.

 

[Trexxxy]

I'm not sure there is some sort of blueprints for you to follow to be able to properly handle people remotely. I think when you're in charge it just comes naturally, and you find it easier as well.

 

[Razor1911]

I'm not sure there is some sort of blueprints for you to follow to be able to properly handle people remotely. I think when you're in charge it just comes naturally, and you find it easier as well.

I am too unsure about that. Though may be ther are tools to handle from a remote location, but I am unsure about how well that will work.

 

[Trexxxy]

I am too unsure about that. Though maybe there are tools to handle from a remote location, but I am unsure about how well that will work.

I think it very simple, because everybody knows their tasks and what to do, before I proceed let me point out that efficiency is dependent on the type of job or task you do. You just reconvene to discuss strategies, reports and problems at the end of the day.

 

[joy101]

Managing remote workers one need to do some adjustment and also communicating with them, you should also ensure that them lack nothing.

 

[Richard92]

It will be very stressful for you to handle overseas worker remotely but if you have a trusted coordinator over there you can be able to give him direction and it will carry out proceedings orderly.

Its not the pandemic that makes people to be hired online our businesses to hire people online, it as been rampant even before the pandemic started.

 

[tyrim88]

Working remotely has been a popular way to outsource jobs by an organisation.You need to state the terms of refrence and the job shedule to the outsource employee.A friend of mine once work as an intern for an online outfit abroad,and he was given his schedule of operation and job responsibility.He did perform creditably well at the end of te program.

It is not that easy to handle overseas worker remotely when you have a business overseas and you are not there to manage and organise it you must have a trusted supervisor who will help you oversee such business or as it might be facing challenges.

 

[Kelly5]

There is nothing new in handling overseas workers in our today world. This has been existing for years now. You're oversea working on bizdustry right now. Isn't that an example of bizdustry handling overseas workers too?

Technology has given the option for us to work remotely. If we are doing legit jobs, there is no problem in doing that. there are many companies who already hired people in many other countries and they all are working remotely from their home.

Exactly. That is one unbeatable and undeniable benefits of technology we all are enjoying today. Getting to do things offered from far away countries from the comfort of our bedrooms and homes in our own country

 

[Kunkun]

Well it's true that is the case since the pandemic and even way before back, it's important to check on them and make sure they get paid when due so as to properly motivate

 

[Nomad]

I am based in Asia but I have worked with a lot of people in America, Europe and Africa. The most important thing to consider when you have remote workers is to establish effective communication. You have to choose a communication method that is available to your workers easily.

 

[Yusuf]

I think the best way to handle remote workers is to always give them Target. With this method, you will always make them productive to you and your business advantage

 

[Bousine123]

I don't know how difficult it can be, but I have a boss who lives in another continent and we have been doing business smoothly over the internet.

 

[Ceeny007]

There are softwares which monitor the progress of work done by workers,or you can just give your worker a task and tell him or her when you want me task delivered

 

[Snazzy001]

You will have to treat remote workers with care and respect in order to win them over to you. This can even determine how long they can stay in your service

 

[Setfragil]

There is no big deal in handling remote workers. What you needs is get to know more about them and how to work with them successfully.

 

[Jlife]

There is no big deal in handling remote workers. What you needs is get to know more about them and how to work with them successfully.

To me I consider it to be difficult because some of them can actually be so dishonest with you that they will start using your absence against you in your business organisation.

 

[GIFTMICHAEL]

Technology have grown rampant in our modern day world. Seeing lots of technology inventory which has made business owners staying anywhere in the world and managing their business.

 

[Seno inyang]

Identify and promote the right woriking tools.
set aside specific days for team interaction.
Understand common Teleworking challenges

Well due to the pandemic lot of people now work in different places and some are been fired in fact the fired once are much more than the workers.

If you have experience in this area, how do you handle remote workers?

I think an online presence would help to a large extent.
To monitor their progress, you will have to get them to report all they achieve daily.
That way, you do not get to pay work not done.

 

[Ghost]

They can be handled by setting a well outlined rule that must be followed. Also observe to see if they are people flauting the rules. They should be punished accordingly

 

[Justin]

Zoom is one of the best apps to communicate with your remote staff. You can do video conferencing through Zoom. You can also use upwork to hire remote staff for your business

 

[nimzy]

Well it not an easy task or job to be able to carry out effectively this is because it's very expensive in operation dur to that system you most have to maintain a very good communication system which will aid you have better knowledge about their progress and short coming.

 

[Godspower]

Handling remote workers require more attention and energy than one might think. Due to the tasks involved, sometimes physical interaction and instructions are better.

 

[Abigael]

I think the best way to handle remote workers is to always give them Target. With this method, you will always make them productive to you and your business advantage

That is right. Giving them a target works so well. It gives them something to work on daily. Then you can check up on them regularly to ensure that they stick to the target.

 

[Kubiat-Abasi]

Yes, I have had a first-hand experience. During the pandemic I worked remotely with other customer service representatives and we worked on set targets, I mean we were given targets to complete on daily basis or weekly basis.

 

[Kelly5]

If you the poster of the thread are not in London while making this post, then you're working from a foreign country already and you're doing so following the rules and regulations stated by bizdustry to be able to continue your work here. Look at it that way from your end on how to handle foreign workers.

 

[HayKay]

They can be managed well same way you'll handle them if they're with you physically. The one thing you must first do is to get all tools that'll ensure them work at an optimum level digitally.
Next you have to keep following them up; constant meetings over the periods they're not with you is very crucial. Call them in the mornings, give projects and deadlines. Do all the things you'd have done physically that the digital space provides.

 

[Ghost]

Managing overseas workers is a bit kind of difficult being that you are not physically present there to give them instructions and guidelines for work. This can make it look complicated but a good manager should be able to improvise and manage them in th right way.

I agree with you. Most people say there's an internet so it wouldn't be a problem. But I believe there's a great difference with managing a business physical than over the phone or internet

 

[kinqzbitz]

Well I is absolutely not easy to do that and also it is actually very important to know this things and they are lots of ways to deal with overseas workers and you just need to do your research

 

[Godspower]

I agree with you. Engaging them the way you would have done if you were physically present is very important. Always give tasks and make sure you try to supervise if possible through zoom or video calls.

 

[Good-Person]

I might not be possible to handle workers completely in case you are out of the country, despite the fact that technology has made it possible to handle your employees to some extent in case you are away from your business. You can use Skype to directly communicate with your employees and guide them about business.

[Kaffyfolla]

How can you pay your overseas employees remotely?

1. Pay the employee on your home country payroll. ...
2. Ask a local partner or third party company to place them on their payroll. ...
3. Outsource payroll to handle your remote employee. ...
4. Pay them as independent contractors

 

[kayode10]

It is possible to manage your work from another please if you are working remotely. You only need to put a system in place that will check with everyone working for the business. That is how you can manage your business a loan is properly in your absence.

A friend of mine is actually working as a cook on the sea and he is actually very careful how you deal with people on board because the pandemic of coronavirus is actually spreading all over the world.

I have a friend who's a naval officer and most of the time , his official assignment is to be on sea for several months and he has a business , so he just paid a manager to be overseeing the business for him in his absence.

 

[Heatman]

I think distance is not a problem today as long as the Internet is present. Especially if the work was on the net

You are actually very correct because the long-distance is always going to be a very big problem when it comes to managing the business successful as a lot of people are not really honest when it comes to handling your business in your absence.

 

[CeeJase]

I think distance is not a problem today as long as the Internet is present. Especially if the work was on the net

Over here in Nigeria the major challenge that you are going to have is the issue of internet connection because our internet connection down here is so useless that we cannot do anything with it.

 

[ganibade]

To handle overseas workers remotely is not barrier, because we are in computer age and everything is computerized. I have brother in saudi arabia when he entered as a factory worker he use translator for language translating to understand their language.

 

[Grandeur]

So far it's a remote work then running such a business even on an international level shouldn't be a problem as one would just require work done from each employee and have regular online meetings to check up.

 

[Omotayo]

There isn't a norm for handling remote workers, I think it is almost the same way you handle workers at the physical place of work. You send emails and tasks to be done and whatnot.

 

[Heatman]

It is actually very cool that you can manage everything because of the use of technology but it doesn't stop whoever that is handling the business for you to embezzle everything and run away because you are not supervising the person physically.

 

[CeeJase]

This have been going on, before now. It's no longer a new thing to me, i see websites, businesses hiring people remotely to provide support and work from home, or any where on earth. You can go through search engines and find so many of them, accepting applications from people all over the world to work remotely.

A lot of people are actually working in that set up today because since the pandemic of coronavirus a lot of company is now employed people to work from home for them which they now monitor everything online.

 

[Shigobad2020]

You can handle an overseas workers remotely the same actual way you are actually controlling your workers nearby and you can also talk to them through mail and video calls.

There isn't a norm for handling remote workers, I think it is almost the same way you handle workers at the physical place of work. You send emails and tasks to be done and whatnot.

 

[joy101]

I think this have been going on all this while it is not something new to the system, so there is nothing bad with the idea, to get workers across the country it is not bad.
