As a leader with a remote workforce in a remote world, you may think the smiling faces you see during video conferences demonstrate job satisfaction, but is this an accurate indicator of your team’s mood? How are they feeling when the camera is off? Are they anxious about their job security?
To overcome those things, here are 3 ways to build team culture in a remote world.
1. Communication is the Key
You do not feel the need for contact as a leader. But, remote employees still feel lonely. Tools for teleconferencing are not necessary to include all forms of connectivity a team needs.
Keep in touch on macro-and micro-levels by developing chat channels for the whole organization. And also, it goes for each team and group of affinities.
These channels can be used for everything from work to casual interactions, shout outs, announcements and company updates.
2. Maintain a Sense of Community
What top leaders connect right now is an important factor of group building. Leaders of my network shared their secrets, and others do frequent all-company huddles.
This friendly platform allows new staff members to be welcomed, business news exchanged and top performers are given shout-outs.
3. Use Values to Develop Corporate Identity
Once your team is on board with the company’s vision and where it is going, it is important to communicate values as well. There are two steps you need to know.
The first step is to ensure you recognize the fundamental principles of your company and express them clearly.
These principles are the guideposts that hold the organization on track; they are the facets of the business that are listed in performance reports and goal-setting sessions; they are the capstones of new-hire orientations and at company activities they get their own hashtags.
The second way is by living the values daily. Values can only work for companies when leaders embrace and live them.
