It is important to recognize the role of feedback in remote work. Virtual work is independent in nature. If managers do not deliver timely feedback, then remote workers can waste time and effort using ineffective methods or misunderstood approaches. Not to mention, self-doubt can creep in and affect productivity if staff do not receive reassurance of a job well done.
Good ways to give feedback virtually include scheduling periodic one on one meetings, encouraging peer praise in group chats, and directly messaging employees to offer suggestions or pass along compliments.
