Team members must remain engaged without anyone looking over their shoulder or in constant contact with managers and colleagues.
These distance teams bring many new opportunities for businesses. But many business owners feel lost in space or on a remote island. Also, many business managers feel a loss of control and they really fear that productivity will decrease and they would not be able to take countermeasures if they see their employees less or not at all.
