"I have found that working remotely has required more flexibility from a manager perspective. Due to family and other personal demands, some employees may not be able to work a traditional 9-5 schedule. Given that fact, it's key that expectations are clear regarding when deliverables are due. Then it is up to the manager to trust that the team member will do what is necessary to meet those deadlines. I have also found that scheduled check-ins at mutually convenient times are helpful, as we can no longer 'drop by' our team members' desks for a quick chat."
