The Importance of Employee Engagement in Remote Work Set Up

During the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, lockdown and quarantine measures were put into place that affected the mobility of the general public, including the majority of the workforce. Companies were forced to have their employees work remotely for their safety. Fast forward to now, the remote work set up has become part of the new normal despite the lifting of restrictions in most parts of the world. In fact, a September 2021 survey by Gallup found that 45% of full-time employees in the United States are still working partly or fully remotely.

Just like in any other workplaces, employee engagement is still important in the remote work set up. According to Gallup’s meta-analysis, engaged teams achieve 17 percent higher productivity and 21 percent greater profitability. Given that remote workers do not see each other, they cannot build the same connection as those who had worked together in one place, which is why companies should extend more effort to have all their employees feel involved and connected not just with each other but also to the company itself.

How can outsourcing help you?

Outsourcing human resource (HR) functions can contribute to improving employee engagement within your organization even with a remote work set up through the following ways:

Improved company culture

The HR department plays a central role in passing on the company culture to the rest of the employees through creative and meaningful initiatives that reflect the organization’s values. Even with a remote work set up, various applications and tools can be used to conduct gatherings and small events to keep your workforce engaged.

When you outsource, there will be more hands on deck to manage HR functions such as addressing employee concerns and processing requirements that will enable you to also put in more effort in strengthening company culture.

Best HR practices

The right outsourcing company can give you access to a pool of highly skilled and experienced HR specialists that can add value to your HR department. When employees see that their needs and concerns are being managed well, employee satisfaction will increase, which can also result in less employee turnover rate in your company.

Better recruitment and training process

When you outsource, you’ll have a dedicated team of HR specialists that can help in creating a better hiring process, a streamlined onboarding of new employees, and more training opportunities for your workers. With the remote work set up already challenging in itself, making HR processes more efficient is one way to lessen what they have on their plate and enable them to participate more in employee engagement initiatives within the organization.
