Takeaways
When the very first switch to remote work was made, little did we know it would last long enough. If coping was the mantra then, excelling is now the need of the hour. Effective remote work culture is critical when it comes to employee engagement, productivity, and success; all intertwined with the performance of an organization.
Reprise Your Work Culture
The right culture sets you apart from your competitors. The right virtual work culture keeps your team engaged, committed, and communicative. Work towards making your company culture relevant to the times and your people, thus ensuring employee satisfaction and productivity.
Keep Your Actions Out and Loud
A ‘work from home’ culture requires overcommunication – multiple emails, messages, memes, videos, and anything that would set the tone for increased interaction and collaboration. Ensure the active participation of your employees in day-to-day activities. Effective communication is critical to the success of a virtual workforce.
Listen Intuitively
To build and maintain a remote work culture, listen to your peers intuitively. Always be prompt and have a clear bias towards action. Take steps that will improve your team morale. Create a friendly environment by paying attention to the humane side of your peers.
