Remote Team Culture | How to Develop a Strong Remote Culture

Показать описание

Remote team culture is important no matter how you look at it. Remote work is becoming more common than ever, managers are focused on ensuring that all tools and processes work perfectly when their team is remote. But the thing is far too many aspects get left behind even if they’re just as vital. For example building a strong remote team culture.
Some of the biggest challenges of remote work have always been keeping the team connected and engaged. Missing out on establishing strong policies on how you want your team culture to develop when working remotely can wreck a company that’s already too busy with all of the other business processes.
So what will having a strong remote culture improve?
High employee happiness and wellness levels
➡️ Top talent and reduction in hiring and training costs that would result from losing your existing employees
➡️ Team loyalty and engagement and giving them an incentive to deliver their best work
➡️ High Productivity and performance of your workers through increased accountability which is extra important for remote employees who get minimal supervision
➡️ Acquisition of highly-skilled professionals who want to be a part of a memorable team culture that can allow them to grow and feel fulfilled
➡️ Solution to potential communication problems by promoting transparency and strong communication blueprints

1. Establish or update a company mission statement that includes remote work.
A mission statement clarifies your company values and defines what goals make you different from other brands and competitors. They focus on highlighting your position on the market, how you can help your clients, and even how the company treats its employees.
2. Ensure a lasting remote team culture by setting an appropriate communication etiquette.
Make improvements when it comes to both external & internal communication. Ask for your team’s feedback so everyone can share how they’d like the collaboration process to change.
3. Make one-on-one meetings and asynchronous communication a priority with remote teams.
You probably won’t believe me, but these two communication methods do wonders in a remote setting like never before. One-on-one meetings in particular allow you to talk to every single one of your employees and get their honest feedback.
4. Offer performance-based praise and recognition to your remote employees.
Finding out if an employee is pleased with the level of recognition they receive is more difficult than getting any other type of insights in the absence of an anonymous employee engagement survey.
5. Create new opportunities to bring your distributed teams together.
Never meeting face-to-face won’t ever provide the same connection within the team. To keep employees bonded, come up with a series of events you can afford to hold on a regular basis.
6. Get the onboarding and training process right to maintain a strong remote team culture from day one.
This is the last point we’ll be talking about, but it’s a pretty important one.
Good remote team culture is imposed from the first contact a new hire gets with the company. That’s why it’s easier to choose new team members who are a fit for your work culture from the start rather than forcing values onto a person who can’t accept them.
