Remote Work

A Guide for Organizations and Professionals

 

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has required organizations and employees to change what, how, and where work is performed. As current prevention and treatment options necessitate continued social distancing, the focus is shifting toward preparing for a redefined future.

SIOP members and organizational partners have been studying remote work, virtual teams, organizational agility, and related issues for years. I-O psychologists specialize in understanding human behavior at work and creating evidence-based programs and practices to help organizations and workers thrive. They can provide expert advice to organizations and people adapting and strategizing for the “new normal.”

A collection of resources, backed by I-O science, to help a working world in need can be found below. Businesses seeking expert assistance in worker well-being, groups/teams, work-family/work-life balance, and organizational performance to help their organizations and employees can find an I-O psychology professional in the SIOP Consultant Locator.
