Remote working has become the norm, so it is all the more important to stay connected and communicate effectively with each other.

Although good communication is crucial for any business environment, as it a primary need to have a successful remote team. It is easy enough to say communication is important, but what strategies, methods and tools really improve collaboration?

HBI offers practical tips on how to optimize your remote communication including:

  • Set clear expectations and structures: defining framework is the first step towards effective communication.
  • Use the right tools for collaboration: selecting the appropriate tools is essential. Tasks are organized using project management apps like Trello, Asana, or Monday, which also make team progress visible.
  • Set up regular check-ins: Working from home can make people feel isolated. Regular check-ins have proven to be an effective way of maintaining communication with employees.
  • Encourage asynchronous communication: Asynchronous communication enables team members to be more productive by processing communications at various times.
  • Virtual team building: virtual team-building activities encourage informal interaction, shared coffee breaks or after-work events provide an opportunity for relaxed conversation.

For remote teams, effective communication depends more on mutual understanding and trust than it does on technology. The foundation for effective communication is provided by clearly defined norms and procedures. However, genuine cooperation only occurs when relationships among the team are deliberately supported.
