And now, with recent <a href=\"https:\/\/gov.wales\/remote-working#:~:text=We%20would%20like%20to%20have,in%20this%20more%20flexible%20way.\">Welsh government guidance<\/a> instructing companies that they would like to have 30% of the Welsh workforce stay remote, it looks like WFH is here to stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-purple-color\"><em>People look to you for answers and direction<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, this is likely to have a knock-on effect on the team morale of employees who\u2019ve been stuck in this situation for a year, so managers need to be even more proactive when supporting their staff.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below, three Welsh team managers offer their insights on how to best keep your team motivated:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-purple-color\">1. Provide reassurance<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It seems one of the biggest challenges for teams big and small has been isolation, and the sudden insecurity about jobs. According to a former manager of a local retailer, the hardest thing about being a manager in lockdown is displaying confidence in the face of change.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeople look to you for answers and direction,\u201d she says. \u201cHaving a positive mindset is key.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Daniel Lewis, director of marketing agency Spindogs, shares the sentiment. For him reassuring his team that their jobs are safe and the company can weather the storm financially was a priority from the start of lockdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, apparently, transparent communication paid off. \u201cFortunately the team responded amazingly,\u201d Daniel shares. \u201cWe couldn\u2019t have asked for more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scott McCaffrey, web and content team line manager at University of South Wales, echoes the sentiment. \u201cI\u2019ve found that the best way to motivate my team is to simply be there, to listen, to offer advice,\u201d he shares. In these difficult times, Scott aims to be approachable and be there for people to offer guidance when they need it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-purple-color\">2. Find the balance with virtual meetings<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Communication is key. But with only digital coworking platforms to rely on, it\u2019s not always easy, reveals the former retail manager, especially for teams not used to working entirely online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s also the video meeting fatigue, adds Scott. For him the obvious solution is to cut out unnecessary meetings. Forced daily meetings at 9am on the dot, he says, are \u201coften unnecessary, awkward and a waste of time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, Scotts suggests having meetings when they are needed. Good managers know if their employees need regular chats or if that drains them, he points out. A weekly catch up at 10:30am on Monday works perfectly for his team, Scott shares, \u201cand then throughout the week it\u2019s based on each person\u2019s meeting fatigue.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-purple-color\">3. Embrace flexible working days<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another common thread that managers from across industries are seeing is the collapse of the rigid work schedule. Unsurprisingly, with employees working from home alongside partners, children, or with the mental health strain of isolation, supervisors are having to adapt their approach.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2021\/03\/charles-deluvio-rA83MmTX46U-unsplash.png\" alt=\"managers should take into account their employees' home situation\" class=\"wp-image-57463\" width=\"-514\" height=\"-342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2021\/03\/charles-deluvio-rA83MmTX46U-unsplash.png 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2021\/03\/charles-deluvio-rA83MmTX46U-unsplash-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2021\/03\/charles-deluvio-rA83MmTX46U-unsplash-770x514.png 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2021\/03\/charles-deluvio-rA83MmTX46U-unsplash-370x247.png 370w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2021\/03\/charles-deluvio-rA83MmTX46U-unsplash-293x195.png 293w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2021\/03\/charles-deluvio-rA83MmTX46U-unsplash.png\" alt=\"managers should take into account their employees' home situation\" class=\"wp-image-57463\" width=\"-514\" height=\"-342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2021\/03\/charles-deluvio-rA83MmTX46U-unsplash.png 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2021\/03\/charles-deluvio-rA83MmTX46U-unsplash-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2021\/03\/charles-deluvio-rA83MmTX46U-unsplash-770x514.png 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2021\/03\/charles-deluvio-rA83MmTX46U-unsplash-370x247.png 370w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2021\/03\/charles-deluvio-rA83MmTX46U-unsplash-293x195.png 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption>Staff with young children may not be online at 9am sharp, says Scott (Photo by<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@charlesdeluvio?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\"> Charles Deluvio<\/a> on<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\"> Unsplash<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Scott, it\u2019s a manager duty to understand the environments their staff are working within and ensure that everyone can actively manage both home and work life. \u201cGive people the tools they need to manage their time without making them feel guilty,\u201d he advises.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If his team are able to fulfill their tasks to a satisfactory standard, albeit slightly slower, Scott takes no issue with people being flexible. \u201cIt\u2019s difficult enough right now, and we need to support each other.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Daniel shares that Spindogs has also recognised the need for a non-formalised working day. \u201cAs long as the team are able to deliver their work commitments, we\u2019re flexible as to when work gets done during the working day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-purple-color\">4. Make extra effort with new staff<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLearning a new role in lockdown is not easy,\u201d points out the former retail manager. She rightly observes that work life is more challenging when you can\u2019t meet people face to face. After all, it\u2019s harder to build relationships over video calls.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Daniel agrees that onboarding of new starters while the whole company is working from home has been a unique challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-purple-color\"><em>It\u2019s difficult enough right now, and we need to support each other<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Recent recruits who have never physically met their colleagues or stepped foot into the office are in danger of missing out on the culture, he says, as well as&nbsp; the opportunities to make friends and the learning that occurs naturally in an open office environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Integration of new team members is crucial, shares Daniel. \u201cWe\u2019ve had to make them feel at home as quickly as possible,\u201d he adds. Spindogs has done this by ensuring recent employees are in regular contact with their teammates and line managers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-purple-color\">5. Know what your staff needs<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the Spindogs director, for managers WFH means maintaining work quality and efficiency, while also making sure that everyone is properly motivated and feels like part of the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unsurprisingly, in Daniel\u2019s experience the biggest challenges to motivation in the WFH setup have been fatigue and remoteness. He shares that alongside the usual online quizzes and socials, scheduling non-work related catch-ups helps the team feel like part of a greater whole, and therefore less isolated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scott, meanwhile, believes the key is to understand when staff may be feeling a bit stuck, as well as how and when they are motivated to work. Base workload on this, he recommends, either by bringing someone out of their rut with a new project, or assigning them something a little less challenging to keep their mind ticking over.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMental health is so important,\u201d Scott warns, \u201cand it\u2019s a balancing act that managers need to be very careful with.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-purple-color\"> 6. Set a good example of flexible working<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Scott also makes a point of sharing with his team when he takes advantage of flexible working, whether that\u2019s going for a long walk with his dog or making a fancy coffee. He acknowledges that sometimes workloads get in the way of enjoying the situation we are all in. \u201cBut I do everything I can to make sure that me and my team can enjoy working and living at home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The result? Scott\u2019s team have struck a great balance which allows them to produce high standard work while also enjoying their surroundings. \u201cWe support each other&#8217;s mental health and home responsibilities,\u201d he shares, \u201cand this trust has brought out the best in all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-purple-color\">7. Welcome change<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It might sound simple, but the managers all seem to agree &#8211; checking in with your team is the key to supporting them effectively during lockdown and WFH. Mastering that personal approach will not only help you keep the team morale up now, but will likely come in handy going forward in a workspace that\u2019s been changed forever.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div
