Communication is key. Use clear channels, set expectations, and schedule regular check-ins to ensure everyone is on the same page. Foster a culture of transparency and encourage open dialogue to address challenges promptly. Utilize collaboration tools effectively to streamline workflows and maintain a sense of connection among team members.

We have a 'Wrap the Week' party Loane, the original idea included a rap from team leaders before we came to our senses, it's fun and everyone can relax a bit and complement each other. 🎉 We are launching today, support is welcome, cheers, Mike 😀🚀

Communication and transparency are key. Documenting remote practices in a "how we work" resource can also be helpful to set expectations (OysterHR has a good one that's public). An occasional team social event helps people to feel more connected as well, but it really depends on the company. There's always going to be some folks who are into events and some people who want no social time at work. I've found that the best events are done during core work hours (if you have those) and are 100% opt-in so you can satisfy both groups.

Like many have said - strong communication can solve 99% of potential problems. As long as projects are outlined, goals aligned and sign-offs clear - asynchronous working in a remote setting is possible! We see it work all the time at Quickly Hire! We emphasize the importance of daily updates and communication between contractors and their clients. Always show what you've worked on, what you intend to work on tomorrow, and ask for any feedback or guidance needed.

Feedback – gotta love it and dish it out.

For us, it has to be the communication aspect as well! It's challenging to jump back and forth between different channels, meetings, and still have everything all in your mind. That's why we are using (internally) and building Shadow (https://www.shadow.do/). Would love your feedback on this one :)
