Vous travaillez à distance et vous vous sentez isolé. Comment pouvez-vous rester en contact avec votre équipe ? (2024)

When we are in remote environment over communication is the key. Create a routine to celebrate even the small wins to create the visibility into eachother's work. Virtual coffee breaks, pizza parties, etc help built interpersonal relationships. But this has to be driven bottom up and can't be forced top down. Empower 1 or 2 extroverts in the team to organise democratic events where the manager is just a participant

Para evitar o isolamento ao trabalhar remotamente, é crucial manter uma comunicação regular e eficaz com a equipe. Utilizar ferramentas de videoconferência, estabelecer horários de check-in, promover interações informais e compartilhar atualizações sobre projetos são estratégias eficazes. Além disso, promover eventos virtuais sociais e incentivar a troca de experiências pessoais contribui para a construção de um ambiente mais conectado e colaborativo, mesmo à distância.

There are many ways to stay connected to your virtual team. Often times group messaging services, routine virtual meetings and activities that involve team participation are vital to keeping a virtual team connected.

When COVID started, we were sent to work from home for several months. We were told to email our supervisor when we logged on and off. I got in the habit of sending something to say hello. I started to get bored and looked for ways to be creative. My new team uses a variety of communication tools, including a secure message blog. So, I continued the habit of messaging my team first thing in the morning with a quote, interesting fact, or unusual definition. On Friday, I send a pop quiz or “did you know” fact and tell them to stay tuned for the answer. It’s always somewhat related to our work. It’s good to make sure your supervisor is on board. Now, my team regularly interacts on the chat. We know each other better and work well together.

Working remote means there is a lack of interpersonal touch to an extent so having a set routine and pattern might be more of a bane rather than a boon as teammates might start taking that as a compulsory event than a break or refresher.The best thing to do as a leader is to be proactive, know your people, know what makes and breaks their motive, spirit and day and be on point with it. Having a pizza party might be a momentary boost but knowing then, their story, the reason someone may not feel connected, drawing out these concerns early help to build a well oiled machine.So proactively identifying these risks & then mitigating them and building an atmosphere where people belong goes a long way rather than Pizza & Virtual quiz trust me!

I think it’s important to know that you can pick up that phone. There’s always someone who will be available! Or, send an email and ask if any of your colleagues are free. Schedule a Teams or Zoom call as a break from work, not as a meeting: call it ‘coffee time’ and request everyone downs tools so that you can all have a chat. Sometimes it’s worth switching off completely for 5 minutes - open that door or window and breathe or, turn on some music and enjoy the sounds. Taking yourself away completely can often re-energise you

In my experience, connecting with team members outside of work is crucial for achieving project goals, which can be somewhat challenging when working virtually. As team leaders, we must foster support, trust, and camaraderie among the team. At the beginning of meetings, showing interest in their personal achievements, hobbies, families, etc., can help strengthen these bonds. Having a team that knows individuals beyond their work role ensures they will work together towards a common goal. Additionally, our role as leaders or coordinators will be easier, as there will be more trust and proactive behavior.

When I was working primarily remote, I tried to find another person or two that I shared many similar interests with so that the side conversations that would typically happen in an office could still happen. Obviously it's tougher to do remotely, but having that person you can just take a few minutes to "chit chat" with during the day, can help you feel connected.

With informal interactions in virtual settings, the key is quantity and consistency. One coffee meme on a Monday does not make a culture. Understand as a leader that, at the beginning, you will have to set the tone. When you relax, your team takes that as an indicator that they can relax a bit, too. This is where you can start to build a human connection.Some things I have done to get conversations going include:- Light-hearted polls/debate (ex. does pineapple belong on pizza)- Bad joke day (puns, kids jokes, dad jokes)- Drop a GIF to describe your week so farMake the questions or invitations quick and easy to answer as you get started for the best response rate. Be patient; it takes a while to shift culture.

Forced social activities can work--but they get old quickly. Know your audience--some teams will be excited about virtual games or activities, and some won't. Having fun doesn't have to be planned--open a slack channel specifically for non-work convos--things like funny customer interactions, interesting articles/videos, etc. Let your team know that you'll be arriving 10 minutes early to the team call in case anybody wants to chat and catch up. Start small--a great way to NOT have fun, is to worry constantly about whether you're having fun.
