Provide remote-work equipment

decent gear (superb sound quality, comfy chair, crisp screen) helps taking the stress out of online meetings

Provide remote-work infrastructure

infrastructure (made or bought) allowing for low latency VOIP connections, always working video / audio conference calls are a key to smooth remote work

Foster unscheduled communication

Offer opportunities (time & space) for meeting with employees without an agenda.

Equivalent for coffee- or hallway talks

Support your employee's well-being

Remote work without any distractions is great. Error rates falter, productivity goes through the roof until -- they don't anymore.

Offer opportunities for your employees to build up there own personal skills to cope with the challenges of working remotely.
