What is an employee map?

An employee map is a visual depiction of an organization’s workforce, showcasing the geographical dispersion of employees. By including geographical data, such as remote work locations or office branches, the map provides insights into the physical distribution of the workforce.

What types of companies should use an employee map?

Employee maps are beneficial for a wide range of organizations, each leveraging the tool to meet unique needs and challenges:

  • Large enterprises: Companies with extensive global operations use employee maps to keep track of their widespread workforce, manage cross-location projects, and ensure efficient communication across different time zones and regions.
  • Multinational corporations: These companies need to monitor and coordinate employees across multiple countries and continents. Employee maps help them manage a geographically dispersed workforce and facilitate compliance with diverse local regulations.
  • Remote-first organizations: For companies that operate with a remote or hybrid work model, employee maps are crucial for visualizing where their employees are based, which aids in planning virtual meetings and team-building activities.
  • Franchise and multi-location businesses: Organizations with multiple physical locations use employee maps to oversee staff distribution, optimize staffing levels, and support local management.

Can an employee map help with remote work management? 

Yes, an employee map is an excellent tool for managing remote work. It allows organizations to understand the distribution of remote workers and plan support and engagement activities accordingly.
