How to support remote workers who feel isolated and overlooked?
Tom is a remote field officer for a resource management company in the NT. He works mostly alone in remote areas, conducting environmental compliance inspections. He can go days without seeing a colleague in person and has limited mobile coverage. While Tom enjoys the work, he often feels disconnected from the broader organisation and unsure if his contributions are noticed. Recently, Tom expressed feeling "out of sight, out of mind" and unmotivated.
