Happy to have contributed to the publication “89 Hybrid Working Tips from Explorers” by Yves Hanoulle (he/him) 🇺🇦
Remember when the world went virtual, and we all started working remotely? It was an exciting shift, then isolating, then…confusing.
Emails piled up, questions went unanswered, and collaborating felt like struggling to understand each other across a crowded room. It was clear: communication just wasn’t working.
I remember that we never had the concept of online meetings with the team as we were present in the same office. We used to gather in one room and bounce ideas off each other in person. But it all changed, and we had to shift everything to remote work. That’s where I learned the key principles that transformed my experience:
Clear communication channels
First things first, establish clear communication channels. Define which tools to use for updates (email), quick questions (Slack), and deep dives (Zoom). Document it, share it, and watch miscommunication vanish.
Be Transparent
Next, transparency is key. Share updates, wins, and even the bumps in the road with the team. This shows that you trust your team members and helps build morale. Remember, when everyone feels included, it makes the team stronger.
Embrace Feedback
Now, let’s talk feedback. It’s important to make it a two-way street where you listen to what works and what doesn’t. Offer your support wherever needed. Encourage open communication and be receptive to suggestions and concerns.
Finally, remember, we’re human! Be mindful of time zones, be understanding of different work styles, and show empathy.
A little kindness goes a long way in building a remote team that feels like a real team.
By following these principles, you can transform your hybrid work environment from a collaboration gap into a thriving, connected community.
But remember, clear communication, open feedback, and empathy are just the foundation. Don’t underestimate the power of regular team-building activities, even virtual ones like coffee breaks ☕. Celebrate individual and collective achievements and encourage genuine connections. Building a strong remote team is an ongoing journey, but by nurturing these connections and prioritizing clear communication, you can create an environment where everyone feels valued, heard, and empowered to do their best work! 🤝👥🚀
