How Leader can Ensure Productivity when Working from Home


Working from home, as discussed earlier can have several limitations. We cannot expect everyone to
be equally efficient while working from remote places. So, here are some additional tips to maintain
productivity while working from home.
Leader must ensure, setting up expectations for every employee from the start itself by outlining
daily expectations and weekly tasks, despite the initiative capabilities of any employee. It’s a leader’s
responsibility to keep employees with unequal capabilities on same page. A leader, to bring out max
from every employee, can ask or motivate employees to work in their high productivity hours.

Secondly, every employee has different capabilities to perceive, so leader must ensure to use the
most appropriate mode of communication while dealing with employees, Example: If some
employees are quick enough to comprehend the ideas, they can be communicated over a call and
for others video conference can be used. But while doing this leader must not try to micromanage
the employees this would make it complicated to handle, she should rather communicate in batches
or she can have a conference with team leaders and ask them to deal with their teams, in above
discussed way. For those who like working while being among others would feel isolated when
working from home, so a regular communication among employees, to keep them motivated,
should be ensured.
“A leader is one who sees more than others see, who sees farther than others see, and who sees
before others see.” So it becomes her responsibility to keep employees’ productivity and efficiency
maintained while working from home.

Is Work from home better or Are we not prepared for it?

This lockdown has made everyone to opt work from home to run their businesses and organisations. Many are advising to transform the way we look at running businesses by opting for work from home post lock down. But the question is - Is work from home that effective? According to me, Work from home can be a complimentary tool not a substitute. Every team work requires brainstorming and discussions which are productive if teams sit together rather than working from their homes and discussing over any video conferencing tool. Exchange of information is better when employees work in a common workspace. While working from homes the exchange of information becomes non uniform, teams of different departments, for example, would have information related to their department only and this increases with the size of organisation – the bigger the organisation more will be the non-uniformity. Working in an office reduces the time involved in resolving doubts that any team member or team may have re

IVR and Automobile Service Centers

Any business is not just about sales, post sales services plays an important role in any business. The more satisfied a customer is, the more word of mouth marketing you would get. Whenever you go for getting your car/two wheeler serviced, there is rarely any chance that you didn’t have to wait for your turn. Many a time people have to leave their vehicle for hours and return back to receive it. Now imagine if you could call a service centre and an IVR system guides you to book a slot for the servicing. You can book a slot several days before service according to what your schedule allows, the IVR routinely reminds you of the due service and even the tenure and day of your vehicle’s oil change or filter change etc. How good it would have been? IVR doesn’t only satisfies the clients, the owners too have several perks of using it. The owner would get a raise in customer engagement, you know the reason we just discussed them in last para. More customer, greater business, satisfied cus
