Manage Rising Project Costs with Construction Staffing Solutions

To ensure the productivity of your remote construction team members, you must set clear expectations upon hiring and onboarding. Discuss their responsibilities, key performance indicators, and desired results. Use productivity tracking tools and maintain regular communication. 

Communication is one of the common challenges of managing remote teams, but this is a challenge that's easily solved, so you don't have to worry. We advise prioritizing clear and regular communication via video meetings, chat apps, and project management tools. Establish consistent meeting schedules and encourage open dialogue. Here's an article on facilitating short, productive meetings with your remote teams.

Use structured interviews, skill assessments, and reference checks. Evaluate their past remote work experience and ask for examples of self-motivation and reliability.

At MultiplyMii, we follow the 4Rs structure when sourcing remote professionals. This means creating an attractive, detailed, and industry-approved job description discussing the Role, Responsibilities, Results, and Requirements.

Then, we proceed to vetting valuable candidates. Unlike other recruitment agencies, we implement the value-based hiring approach by sourcing Remote Specialists instead of Virtual Assistants. You can learn more about their stark differences by reading our guide on hiring high-value remote talent.

Use time zone management tools, establish core working hours for overlapping availability, and ensure everyone understands and respects different time zones.

Establish essential tools and technologies for video conferencing (e.g., Zoom, Google Meet), project management (e.g., ClickUp, Trello), communication (e.g., Slack, Teams), and document sharing through cloud services (Google Drive or Dropbox) to work like you're in a one-office setting. This will ensure smooth operations and real-time updates on project progress.
