> some employees are taking an advantage of being remote. Would be interested in what you're measuring or observing to support this. I worked remote for 10 years. Two things come to mind: - Work Backwards: Determine what the results are that you expect are reasonable, discuss and agree with each employee what those results are, and then check back periodically to see where they are in achieving those results. Being remote means exactly that you have to trust them to be committed and diligent in doing their work. Each employee is in a different environment, different time zone, different family situation. Trying to apply a common behavior pattern will just frustrate you. - Manage it in the front end: When hiring, specifically look for people who are self-motivated. Yes, this can be difficult to judge in an interview or two, and again, especially remote, but there are markers such as what they've got on git hub, patterns of completing prior work, excitement they exude for technology, expressions of curiosity towards your products/services, entering constructive solution mode when presented with problems, and others. Above all, good luck!
