In conditions of remote work, maintaining good relations with colleagues becomes especially important. When communication is limited to computer screens, it is worth making an effort to create a friendly atmosphere in the team.

Here are some tips on how to do this. They were shared in the Telegram channel CATBOSS.

1. Regular meetings

Schedule weekly or bi-weekly meetings where you can discuss work issues and resolve pressing issues. This will not only help to avoid misunderstandings, but also ensure a high level of communication in the team. Structured meetings help to stay on the same wavelength and strengthen the sense of unity.

2. Informal communication channels

Create a separate channel or community for informal communication where members can share interesting articles, memes, jokes and discuss non-work related topics. Such conversations help to strengthen friendships and add ease to communication.

3. Make connections

In a large team, there will always be a colleague with whom you are more comfortable communicating. Start building a bond with this person by initiating casual conversations, offering help, or organizing small online meetups. These steps can be the foundation for a deeper relationship.

4. Welcome colleagues

Do not forget about important personal events – birthdays, company anniversaries, etc. Say hello to a colleague, even if it's just a message in the chat or a short video with wishes. This creates an atmosphere of support and friendliness in the team.

5. Show empathy

Be attentive to the needs of team members. Offer your help if needed, or simply ask about the affairs of colleagues. Your attention and support will help create closer ties.

6. Take the initiative

Don't wait for someone on the team to make the first move. Independently invite colleagues to online meetings, organize interactives and other events. Your activity will encourage others to also take the initiative, creating a more friendly atmosphere.

Remote work should not become an obstacle to establishing friendly relations with colleagues. By following these simple tips, you can create a warm, supportive team environment that will positively impact productivity and overall job satisfaction. Remember that relationships are an investment in your professional life!
