Strong time management skills
With no direct supervisors, lone workers must be able to manage their own time. To help, lone workers are often supported by cloud-based systems which gives businesses the ability to provide tasks, instructions and real-time alerts.
The ability to solve problems independently
While most employees can quickly grab their manager for advice, lone workers must have the ability to solve problems themselves. This might mean deciding what to do in the event of an emergency or simply deciding what tasks to tackle first.
Good communication skills
While making decisions independently is an important trait for lone workers, they also have to know how to communicate with those around them. Recalling events, handing over tasks, or reporting problems should come naturally to a lone worker.
