Love
"Out of sight, out of mind."
Is this how your remote workers feel?
How can you help your distributed team members feel valued, keep them engaged, and even have fun working together?
Here are 5 easy ways to show your remote team some love
1. Chat About Life Outside of Work
Provide an informal place like Skype or Google Hangouts to chat about vacations, families,
sports, pop culture, and more. That camaraderie and familiarity will be a huge
benefit to your collaboration.
Live video streams, invites to participate in Secret Santa gift exchanges, ugly sweater or costume
contests, online karaoke parties — the possibilities are endless.
2. Include them in celebrations
3. Engage with them
Play online games, send each other packages of goodies from your local area, and find fun ways to liven up conference calls and get to
know each other.
