Remote Work Skills & Tools

We usually spotlight one specific skill or tool but to wrap up the year we are sharing an article that looks at x9 of them from a hiring managers perspective!

Example: Emotional intelligence

One of the best skills for remote work is emotional intelligence. 

It can help employees build strong connections with their team, stay focused on their goals, and manage their tasks efficiently. It drives motivation and encourages collaboration. Emotional intelligence includes:

- The ability to handle stress
- Processing emotions
- The capacity to influence people and build relationships

Check all x9 out here at TestGorilla (also a remote employer so check out their β€œCareers Page” while you are there)

Looking for more remote work skills? We offer a variety of training courses for individuals and employers.

Our β€œLeading Remote & Hybrid Teams” 8 week training program is built to help you bring things like digital workplace tools into your remote or hybrid team.

The Impact of Remote

When a remote job lands in a local community (rural or urban) it unlocks positive social, economic and environmental benefits.

The brilliant Karen Chadwick who works with β€œSpina Bifida Hydrocephalus Ireland” shares a personal perspective of how working from home has been a game-changer for her as a person with disabilities here πŸ™Œ

β€œSocial Inclusion: Remote work has not isolated me but, in fact, has enhanced my sense of belonging and social interaction. Virtual meetings, collaboration tools, and online communities have allowed me to connect with colleagues and peers, and engage in professional networks I may have missed out on otherwise.”

Reminder - we are impact led as an organisation so please do let us know if you get a remote job thanks to any of the work we do. It will make us all smile & we can send you a voucher for your local SuperValu as a little β€œwell done you” πŸ‘

Or if you have a story of how remote work work has impacted you or your local community socially, economically or environmentally - we would love to hear it.
