Simple Ways To Make Your Work From Home Team Members Feel Connected To The Office Team

Working from home has become a regular part of today’s work environment. While the recent Covid-19 pandemic led to an increase in at-home employees, it wasn’t the start of the phenomena – and it didn’t end in its entirety when the pandemic did. If your business had, has, or will have work from home team members, these tips can help you build a strong, productive, well-connected team:

• Host a virtual meet and greet via video conferencing to introduce new team members. Putting faces and names together goes so much further than an email intro.
• Engage your work from home team in virtual team-building activities and challenges that put learning about each other and your business right in the palms of their hands.
• Prioritize working from home the same way for all team members. Granting the privilege to some and not to others can lead to resentment that gets in the way of work.
• Host weekly team meetings to help everyone feel and stay connected. At the beginning of the week, a team meeting can clarify expectations. It can also be an effective way to wrap up the end of the week.

A great way to keep your entire team focused and on track is to bring them together at regular intervals outside the office. This doesn’t mean your business and its best interests aren’t the focus. It means we help your team learn the best ways to meet individual and team goals in a productive manner. It also means they get to bask in our sunshiny atmosphere while they learn.
