How do you build and maintain a remote team connection?

At this stage, most of us have figured out the logistics of working remotely with our team. It’s now worth investing some time and thought into creating a genuine, longer-term feeling of commitment and vision for your team.
Whatever you can do to enhance that sense of belonging and ownership, will ultimately lead to happier, more connected team members and a more engaged and productive workforce.
Here are some ideas that you can try to help promote a sense of connection:
• Give time, space and importance to non-work related conversation.
• Be honest and keep everyone informed of company developments.
• Share your take on the future vision of the company.
• Allow all members of your team to play a role in important events and projects.
• Acknowledge achievements, milestones and birthdays of team members.
Remember, when we work remotely, giving team members a sense of belonging and a common vision is more important than ever. Employees need to feel that their work matters and that what they are doing contributes toward a greater common goal.
