    I think reinforcing the social aspect of work that often feels missing when working remotely. For example, creating slack channels for people to talk about their favorite new movies/TV shows, share recipes, organize meetups, etc. Our company also does something called virtual coffee, where people working remotely can join a Google Meet with their coffee and chat as they would in-office. Another thing that I don't have experience with but that I've heard works well is wellness benefits for employees. Juno is one example of a company that does this, and basically employees earn points each month that they can use how they choose - ordering a meal, going to a yoga class, saving up for new airpods, whatever! I think supporting employees in that individualized way helps make WFH even better, because ultimately you get to choose what you need at the moment.

    Yes remote work is best but sometimes I miss meeting with new people, professional networking, team outing and all. I use Microsoft products for everything, teams for calls and meetings, outlook for mail and so on.

    I've been working remotely for 8 years and a simple... "How you are checking into this meeting?" going around the table, to allow people to take a second to acknowledge anything that's on their mind, is really helpful for productivity within the meeting.
