1 Know Your Team

Understanding the strengths, weaknesses, and work styles of your virtual IT team members is crucial for effective delegation. Take the time to learn about their previous experiences, technical skills, and personal preferences. This knowledge allows you to assign tasks that align with each member's expertise, leading to better performance and job satisfaction. Regular virtual meetings and one-on-one check-ins can help you maintain a strong connection with your team, despite the physical distance.

2 Set Clear Goals

Clarity is essential when setting goals for your virtual IT team. Clearly defined objectives, with measurable outcomes, ensure everyone understands what is expected of them. Use project management tools to outline tasks, deadlines, and deliverables. This transparency helps in setting realistic expectations and allows team members to manage their time effectively. Remember, in a virtual setting, over-communication is better than under-communication.

3 Utilize Technology

Leverage technology to streamline communication and project management in your virtual IT team. Tools like shared calendars, video conferencing, and cloud-based collaboration platforms can bridge the gap between remote team members. Ensure everyone is trained and comfortable with these technologies to avoid any hiccups in workflow. Proper use of technology can significantly enhance the delegation process by providing real-time updates and facilitating easier handoffs of tasks.

Leveraging technology in today's world, especially with more and more employees working from home is necessary. There are a lot of employee MONITORING technologies out there designed to "catch" the employee doing something wrong. I would strongly suggest looking at a technology solution that empowers the employee, gets them engaged in strategies for productivity enhancement. Technology vendors typically design their applications to be addictive and keep you in their platform. Collaboration tools, for example, can be a massive distraction and erode productivity. Using technology to help analyze how a person works and offer suggestions on how they can minimize distractions can be very beneficial and help improve productivity.

4 Empower Decision-Making

Empower your virtual IT team by encouraging autonomous decision-making within their delegated tasks. Trust is a critical component in a remote setup; when you show confidence in your team's abilities, it boosts their morale and productivity. Provide the necessary resources and support but resist the urge to micromanage. This autonomy will foster a sense of ownership and can lead to innovative solutions that benefit your projects.

Monitoring progress vs. monitoring the employee is important to empower decision-making. Having data to make decisions with is equally critical. Micromanagement should never be necessary. If that is happening there is a disconnect somewhere. Either the employee is not a good fit, or the manager is not effective as a manager.

5 Monitor Progress

Regularly monitor the progress of delegated tasks to ensure that your virtual IT team is on track. Use project tracking software to provide visibility into each member's contributions and deadlines. This oversight is not about micromanagement but about offering support and guidance where needed. Check-ins should be constructive and focused on helping team members overcome obstacles and stay aligned with project goals.

The challenge is always "How do you manage and monitor without policing your employees?". I think the most important thing is to empower them to want to be productive and seek guidance when necessary. Each individual works differently. Being able to adjust the "monitoring" to the specific style of how the employee works and have it be empowering and not just oversight is important. With the right technology (Produce8 can help) you can track HOW a person works and offer insights and suggestions to improve and expand productivity in a way that works specifically for their work style. With more employees working from home these days, we have a lot of meetings and noise from collaboration tools making it even more difficult to stay focused.

6 Provide Feedback

Feedback is a valuable tool for growth and improvement in a virtual IT team. Constructive criticism, along with recognition of good work, can motivate team members and improve performance. Make sure feedback is timely, specific, and relevant to the tasks at hand. Encouraging a culture of open communication where feedback flows both ways can lead to continuous improvement and a more cohesive virtual team .

Feedback is incredibly important, and it is important for that feedback to go both ways. We can learn from our employees as much as they can learn from us. Open communication is important and having the right data to foster a positive and constructive conversation is important as well. Being able to have insights into how a person structures their day and data that helps to ensure we are not overworking our staff is also critical to being able to have constructive, productive feedback sessions.

I've been very privileged to work with my current boss at 2 other companies before working here at Produce8. Working for a boss that recognizes my strengths and weaknesses and trusts me to get the job done is a huge benefit to me! HR is not easy, and having data to help steer conversations really helps.
