KeepSolid Goals Toolkit:
How to Manage Remote Employees and Teams

Managing remote teams and workers offers a number of unique challenges. Among the most obvious are, of course, the lack of face-to-face communication and limited ability to monitor and control what your employees are doing. Let’s see if KeepSolid Goals can offer a toolkit to tackle these and other challenges of remote workforce management!

Key Benefits of KeepSolid Goals for Managing Remote Employees

To help you manage your remote workers and teams (or even yourself, if you’re teleworking), a tool should provide a fairly specific set of features. Let’s take a look at the Keepsolid Goals toolkit and how it facilitates remote workforce planning and management.

Task management

One of the most important challenges when managing remote employees is task management. KeepSolid Goals will help you to figure out which tasks will help you achieve your grand objectives, and to focus on them. And via Sprints and Kanban boards, you will be able to assign such tasks to all members of the team, track the time spent on tasks, and manage the productivity of your remote team.

Time management

Task-related time estimation, time audit, and use of visual timelines are some of the main time management techniques. They promote better utilization of the most essential resource – time – within your team. The time tracking functionality of KeepSolid Goals is all that you need to monitor work progress and coordinate workload more efficiently.

Communication and Collaboration

To avoid excess costs and quality issues and complete any business project on time, it’s vital to engage in regular discussions with every key stakeholder, and to make sure that everyone clearly understands what’s expected of them. KeepSolid Goals is great for communication and collaboration as it makes the exchange of essential information via object descriptions trouble-proof regardless of possible distances.

Project Management

To make sure that a project is completed on time, especially in a remote-work environment, managers must optimize resource allocation, create detailed breakdowns of project-related activities, and track progress on an ongoing basis. KeepSolid Goals works wonders for remote employee project management - it facilitates planning business endeavors and managing workload. It also helps evaluate employee performance and progress towards objectives.

Scheduling

Scheduling people in the same room can be difficult at times; even more so when they are remote and in different locations. KeepSolid Goals will help you schedule a team and get insights into where people are at, making managing a remote team a breeze. Set deadlines for each task and Key Result, monitor all planned activities on timelines and roadmaps, enter actual completion dates, and get all sorts of insights with automated reports.

Reports

To successfully manage remote employees, you need to stay up-to-date on the current situation and any shortcomings or issues that might require a quick solution. KeepSolid Goals provides just the right tool for this - automated reports. In the corresponding tab, you will find a wide variety of reports that will grant you some insight to what’s going on inside your company.

How to Use KeepSolid Goals for Managing Remote Employees
步骤 1
Set an Objective

Seeing how KeepSolid Goals is designed around the OKR approach (Objective and Key Results), an Objective is the first thing you should define when managing remote workers using our toolkit. How to define an Objective? It’s the grand goal of your organization, that your remote team is expected to reach. Your Objective should be global, overarching, and not too specific.

步骤 2
Set Key Results

Key Results are smaller, more specific goals that are associated with the main Objective. Key Results should always bring the Objective closer to reality. One could look at them as milestones on the road to your organization’s goal.

步骤 3
Set Tasks

The third component of the OKR process is the Task. Tasks are specific activities performed by specific remote employees that should result in the achievement of your Key Results. The secret ingredient here is that each task is associated with a specific Key Result, which is in turn associated with a specific Objective. This way even the smallest actions performed by your remote workers can always be traced to the Objective they facilitate.

步骤 4
Implement Remote Work Plan

So now you know what Tasks you and your remote team need to perform, and what Key Results to reach, in order to reach the Objective. Congrats, you’ve just created your remote work plan! Now it’s time to make it a reality! Here’s how to put your remote work plan in motion with KeepSolid Goals when managing remote employees: 

  • Kanban boards, Sprints, and Timeline features facilitate agile remote workforce management and help monitor your employees’ progress towards your Objective 
  • Reports to monitor how successfully your team is moving towards the Key Results, business performance, and KPIs in general
  • My Tasks tab to manage remote teams’ tasks 
步骤 5
Update Remote Work Plan

Keep up with the market if you want your remote team to succeed. You want to be tracking remote work trends and taking advantage of new tools and opportunities. KeepSolid Goals provides a great toolkit for keeping your remote work plan relevant:

  • Update your Key Results and Objectives in a few clicks
  • Assign new Tasks to your remote employees and teams on the fly
  • Add new KPIs and delete the outdated ones to better fit the shifting market conditions
步骤 6
Learn, Rinse, Repeat

When all is said and done, and your Objective is, hopefully, achieved, it’s time to reflect and learn from the experience you’ve got. Ask yourself the following questions and think how you can apply your newly-found knowledge developing your next remote work plan: 

  • Have you and your remote team reached your Objective?
  • Have you allocated your resources correctly? 
  • What difficulties did you encounter related to the Objective, Key Results, Tasks?
  • How effective was your team at reaching the Objective?
