Building Trust While Working Remotely (theengineroom.org)

 

Many teams around the world are making a quick transition to remote work right now. With a team of 17 people working from 12 countries, we’ve been honing what works–and what doesn’t–for nine years of being a virtual workplace. At the core of feeling good as individuals and as a team, and at the core of doing good work, is trust. Below are a few things that can go a long way towards doing just that in a remote environment.

Key Ingredients for Trust-Filled Remote Teams

1. Dedicated space for each other as humans

2. Agreements about how, when and where to communicate

3. Understanding that being flexible takes work

4. Showing up

Maintaining your Personal Well-Being
