How to tackle remote team and avoid isolation?

Hi Vanessa, 

Yes, I had a big project where I was supposed to make cross-border and cross-Atlantic teams work as one team.

We have started with focusing on the Leadership. Make an effort to build company culture virtually.

• To keep your remote workers productive, it’s important they are informed and involved in what’s going on with the company.
• Make video conferencing the standard. It may feel easier to just dial in the one remote team member when everyone else is in the conference room, but take the extra step to use video conferencing. They’ll feel more valued and it’s harder to tune out when everyone is face-to-face.
• And make sure that your remote workers are as much of the team as everyone else, even if that means sending a birthday gift basket instead of a cake in the break room. 

Hello Vanessa and Enzo, 

Definitely, trying to get together teams no matter the distance is an important action for the productivity. 

Tools like Google Hangouts and GoToMeeting can be handy ways to quickly connect with remote workers. For something more substantial, cloud-based phone systems are a great way to give remote employees access to all the communications technology they would get in the office.
