    Set clear, objective KPIs based on deliverables and quality rather than online presence. Provide continuous feedback through 1:1 check-ins and 360-degree reviews to ensure balanced assessments. Adjust for time zone differences by recording meetings and offering flexible discussion slots. Focus on output over hours, leveraging asynchronous collaboration tools. Use performance tracking platforms for transparency and documentation. Train managers to avoid biases like recency effects and cross-validate ratings with multiple reviewers. A standardized evaluation process ensures fairness, promoting engagement and productivity across remote teams.
