As the workforce becomes more distributed, managers are adapting and learning how to manage remote employees at best.
People are looking for flexibility and balance in their work environment, and for this reason, remote working is becoming an increasingly popular choice. Since the pandemic started, companies have tried to provide employees with the best tools to perform their tasks remotely.
There are plenty of tools for remote communication, file sharing, data protection, and so on. But how have companies been measuring the level of satisfaction of their most important resource, their people?
Managing a team that works remotely comes with challenges.. Without face-to-face interactions, it can be difficult to establish personal bonds and build trust with your employees. With remote workers, managers have less information about their team’s activities and need new ways to communicate with them and understand how they are doing.
To be a leader in your industry, you need to create work environments where people can express their full potential. And to be a great manager, you need to take care of your people’s well-being. To do this, however, you need a platform that helps you listen to them, even when you are all working remotely. A Voice of The Employee Platform is what you need. It is a platform that allows employees to share their perceptions, opinions, and feedback. A platform that can provide your organization with key insights to nurture happier employees and the right solution to support your business through the transition to hybrid work.
In this article, we share the advantages of using such a platform for the company’s employees.
Regardless of the work you do, it has a purpose. When you become aware of this purpose and fully understand how your commitment and effort make the world a better place, you will have found the meaning of your work.
People who understand the larger purpose of their work are happier, more engaged, and more creative. From an organizational perspective, when employees see how their roles help the company succeed, staff turnover drops, and productivity increases. In turn, people work more peacefully and pleasantly, make decisions on their initiative, and feel more motivated. As a result, the company can operate more efficiently. Everyone from the CEO to customers will see the positive effects.

Communication between colleagues is one of the most important aspects of a healthy work environment. The recent shift towards remote working has redefined the function and form of communication in the workplace, where ‘communicating’ is much more than conversing; it is about exchanging information through multiple means.
On the contrary, poor communication in the workplace will inevitably lead to unhappy staff who may begin to question their confidence in their abilities and, inevitably, in the organization itself.
Beaconforce is a powerful tool for communication. It does not replace a good chat between managers and employees, but analytics and insights can help prevent some critical situations. It offers ideas for conversation, increases communication in two directions, and allows people to express themselves freely by sending anonymous feedback.

Self-awareness is the conscious awareness of your strengths, weaknesses, actions, and presence. It requires a clear perception of your mental and emotional state.
Self-awareness allows you to make a deeper assessment of your surroundings.
Personal awareness means taking the time to understand yourself better to make informed decisions that will help you improve your work and personal life. It can help you identify what you like about your job and how to build a successful career path that can keep you motivated and fulfilled.
Some benefits that come from being more self-aware include:
A boost in Self-Esteem: Self-awareness can boost your self-esteem, and employees with better self-esteem are more likely to perform well in their roles.
More empathy and inclusiveness: Self-aware employees are more likely to empathize with people they just met. In the workplace, this leads to higher levels of inclusiveness.
Better Decisions: In a work environment, decisions are made constantly. Self-awareness is a valuable tool, as it helps regulate one’s thoughts and emotions and make better decisions.
