1 Maintain Visibility

In remote work, out of sight can mean out of mind. To stay visible, regularly update your team and clients on your progress. Utilize project management tools to showcase your contributions and ensure everyone is aligned with the current PR campaigns and objectives. Proactive communication is key; schedule regular check-ins and be present in virtual meetings. Your visibility is not just about the work you do, but also about the relationships you maintain, so engage with colleagues through virtual coffee chats or professional networking platforms.

To me, this is the biggest challenge for employees when it comes to remote work. I understand that people have obligations, commutes, etc., but the challenge with working remotely is that you are not getting the opportunity to connect with your colleagues and bosses quite to the same level. For some, that may be fine, but if you're a junior or entry level employee that's looking to grow your reputation in the organization and climb the ladder, relationships are key. And those relationships are (partially) forged outside the immediate tasks you're assigned. It's about the moments between the moments. Plus, so much of communication is non-verbal. So, if you're limited to what's posted in a slack channel, you're doing yourself a disservice.

2 Foster Collaboration

Collaboration is vital in public relations, where strategies and campaigns are often developed by teams. To mitigate the lack of in-person interaction, use video conferencing and collaborative software to maintain a sense of teamwork. Be intentional about reaching out to colleagues for input and brainstorming sessions. Encourage an environment where everyone feels comfortable sharing ideas by recognizing contributions and offering constructive feedback. This helps build a collaborative culture that bridges the gap created by physical distance.

3 Manage Time Wisely

Time management takes on a new dimension when you're working remotely. Without the structure of an office environment, it can be easy to either procrastinate or overwork. Establish a routine that includes regular breaks and a definitive end to your workday to prevent burnout. Prioritize tasks using methods like the Eisenhower Matrix, which helps you sort tasks by urgency and importance. Remember, it's about working smarter, not necessarily longer, to achieve your PR goals.

4 Ensure Accessibility

Being accessible to your team and clients is crucial in remote public relations work. Set clear expectations about your availability and response times. Use communication tools that allow for timely updates and easy access to information. Consider time zone differences when scheduling meetings and deadlines to ensure inclusivity. By being accessible and responsive, you build trust and demonstrate your commitment to the success of your PR initiatives.

5 Embrace Technology

Embracing technology is non-negotiable in remote work. Familiarize yourself with the latest PR tools and platforms that facilitate media monitoring, press release distribution, and stakeholder engagement. Invest time in learning how to maximize these technologies to streamline your workflows and enhance your PR campaigns. Staying ahead of tech trends can give you a competitive edge and enable you to provide innovative solutions to your clients.

6 Cultivate Resilience

Lastly, cultivating resilience is essential when facing the uncertainties of remote work. Public relations often involve managing crises or rapid changes in public perception, which can be even more challenging from afar. Develop a mindset that embraces adaptability and continuous learning. When faced with setbacks, use them as opportunities to grow and innovate in your PR approach. Your resilience will not only help you navigate remote work challenges but also empower you to excel in the dynamic field of public relations.

Frankly, this is something you want to cultivate in a way what has nothing to do with remote work. And it's not limited to the PR space. Resilience is the single biggest predictor of success, as far as I'm concerned. It's the first thing I look for from all potential hires and partners. So, figure out how to cultivate resilience and keep working at it.

Being a PR manager working fully remotely, I've found that staying proactive and adaptable is key. Clear and honest communication with the team is crucial, even if it's just a message like 'I need to walk my dog, will be back in 10.' Keeping an open line of communication, constantly learning new tools and techniques, and making time for virtual networking can make a huge difference. Also, don't underestimate the power of a well-timed coffee break to recharge and maintain balance.
