Remote Work Skills & Tools

Documentation is a critical skill for remote work because it ensures clarity, consistency, and accessibility in an environment where team members may be spread across different locations and time zones. Here’s why it’s essential:

1. Reduces Dependence on Synchronous Communication
2. Creates a Single Source of Truth
3. Improves Onboarding and Knowledge Retention
4. Enhances Productivity and Efficiency
5. Supports Asynchronous Collaboration
6. Ensures Accountability and Transparency
7. Reduces Knowledge Loss
8. Improves Customer and Stakeholder Experience
9. Facilitates Compliance and Security
10. Fosters a Culture of Continuous Improvement

In remote work, good documentation is like a virtual office handbook - it replaces casual desk-side and watercooler conversations to ensures that information is always available when needed regardless of where work is done.

Here is a great guide from Remote.com on how to develop a “Culture of Documentation” and learn more.

The Impact of Remote

There are two sides to every story right? While we will never shy away from talking about the challenges of remote work and have even built our training courses around solving them, this section is all about the positive impact of remote work.

This is a quote from with the article and it was a great reminder that the impact of remote can sometimes be a very human thing - happiness!

“I work in the Civil Service. Since March 2020 we have been working remotely and from October 2022 we returned to office one day per week.

In our department it’s heavily statistics-based, so easy for management to monitor the volume of work being done. No specific targets [are] given but I know my personal productivity has increased year on year.

Time and energy saved on commute has made me a happier, less stressed person and given me a perfect work-life balance. I’d be very much against working more than one day a week in the office.”

The State of Remote IE

At the start of Feb 2025 the number of remote job in Ireland as per listings on LinkedIn looked like this 👇

Reminder - companies that hire remotely do not usually advertise in traditional space or places and that’s why jobs boards that are dedicated to remote or places like LinkedIn who pick up remote jobs directly from employers remote job posts are a good indicator for the state of remote jobs available in Ireland.

If you liked all of that you might like to know a little bit more about us?

At Grow Remote our work is focused around x3 impact pillars 👇

  2. Building Local Community
