How do I know what employees are doing?
Remote work is a viable option for many people who work in the so-called information sector, who have traditionally worked in the office using a computer or other work equipment that is easy to carry home. Traditionally, the measure of work has been the time spent at the workplace. In the case of remote work, this way of thinking may need to change. Results and progress are often a better measure than working hours.
When talking about remote work, employers often worry about whether they can trust the employee. Remote work is thought to require a special level of trust between the employer and the employee. However, in our experience, this is not the case when effective monitoring methods are in place and the employee's suitability for remote work has been ensured during recruitment. Ultimately, many tools used in remote work make it easier to build trust.

Both employees and employers are required to adopt new habits and tools in order to successfully start working remotely.
