When Adam Schwartz founded Articulate, an e-learning authoring software company based in New York, in 2002, making the company fully remote wasn\u2019t planned, but it\u2019s what ended up happening. Schwartz didn\u2019t want to limit his talent pool to just the Big Apple. He wanted to expand it around the world. Some of his early key members included employees in Mumbai and Missouri.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFinding great people who fit into your culture is a real challenge for any company. It\u2019s all the more difficult when you\u2019re limited to the cities where you have offices. I could pick and choose the best talent from anywhere around the globe, and I did. I couldn\u2019t imagine limiting us to even a large market like New York.\u201d \u2014Adam Schwartz, CEO of Articulate<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Leaders like Schwartz aren\u2019t alone in this global workforce sentiment. Organizations all around the world are embracing flexible work and distributed teams to the point that remote <\/span>work grew by 159%<\/span><\/a> between 2005 and 2017. Studies show that not only are remote employees just as productive as office employees, but also that they work an average of <\/span>1.4 more days per month<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why engaging remote employees is vital to business success<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Culture is a key factor that determines how well an organization performs. Studies show that organizations with rich cultures have <\/span>higher employee retention, higher productivity, and higher profit<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

But remote teams introduce a new problem that organizations need to tackle:<\/span> How do you create a sense of culture when employees are thousands of miles apart?<\/span><\/i> It\u2019s common for remote employees to get left out of many events when they don\u2019t share the same office space, leading to a loss of identity and a disconnect from their teams.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Studies show that remote employees often feel isolated, which can result in a <\/span>21% drop in overall productivity<\/span><\/a>. Coupled with the <\/span>tendency by employers<\/span><\/a> to overload them with assignments, remote employees are especially vulnerable to loneliness, stress, and burnout.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Simply assigning them a team and expecting togetherness to naturally occur isn\u2019t enough. Inclusiveness has to be facilitated. Luckily, there are plenty of easy tactics we can implement to make it happen. Here are several ways to do it:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Hold weekly team meetings to ensure remote employees are supported<\/strong><\/h2>\n

One of the biggest contributors to feelings of isolation is when remote employees are left out of the loop. Teams that don\u2019t have established routines for communication end up with employees who work in silos, where remote workers aren\u2019t connected personally or aligned professionally.<\/span><\/p>\n

Weekly virtual check-in meetings give teams the opportunity to see what colleagues are working on and offer any support they can. If a teammate in New York is running into administrative roadblocks on a project, a colleague in San Francisco might have insights into pushing it through. Team leaders can also use weekly meetings to make sure group projects are on track and update employees on upcoming tasks.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Use weekly one-on-one meetings to connect on goals<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Weekly one-on-one meetings are a great way for team leaders to connect with their employees. Use these meetings to check on daily tasks, understand their progress for the week, discuss upcoming assignments, and build rapport. It\u2019s also a great opportunity to encourage employees to share their milestones and recognize their successes.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Leverage social media so employees can stay updated<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Nowadays, every organization has some form of online presence to stay connected with customers and clients. But social media can also be leveraged for employees as well, and some of the <\/span>biggest brands in the world recognize this<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Social media, like LinkedIn, can be an excellent tool for remote employees to stay engaged<\/a> and updated on the organization\u2019s product releases, customer satisfaction, and accomplishments. Remote employees can engage by liking, commenting, and even sharing those stories, contributing to their feeling of inclusion.<\/span><\/p>\n

But don\u2019t stop there. Social media can extend far beyond just corporate news. Consider highlighting different parts of your organization that employees are really proud of, such as its commitment to philanthropy, building artwork, and even hosting a pet day. Here at RingCentral, our cafe serves free food to employees daily and has its own Instagram page (<\/span>@ringcentralcafe<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Use video conferencing to develop stronger relationships<\/b><\/h2>\n

There\u2019s no dispute that face-to-face interactions are key to developing relationships at work, but remote workers miss out on those interactions, contributing to their feeling of isolation. Also, team messaging and phone calls aren\u2019t enough to bond remote colleagues, as <\/span>93% of communication is nonverbal<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Video conferencing is the king of bridging the gap between office and remote employees. When employees can put a face and voice to their colleagues, they naturally develop closer relationships that replicate how employees interact in an office environment. And with stronger bonds to their teams, remote employees feel closer to the organization at large and are much happier as a result.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Celebrate birthdays together to create a sense of camaraderie<\/b><\/h2>\n

Employees appreciate when their colleagues can celebrate their birthdays with them, and remote employees can join in on the fun too. Through your team messaging app, employees can leave \u201chappy birthday\u201d comments and gifs for remote employees and vice versa to make them feel as included as an office celebration. Your organization can even have cake or pizza delivered if it\u2019s in your company culture.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Plan yearly or semi-yearly retreats to get the team together<\/b><\/h2>\n

Off-site events like holiday parties and happy hours are excellent at helping employees let loose, but remote employees don\u2019t have those same luxuries when they\u2019re separated from their teams. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to get teams together at events dedicated to both work and leisure, like a company or department retreat.<\/span><\/p>\n

Retreats allow all employees to get together and share ideas, align goals, and socialize. But be careful of making retreats too work-centric\u2014retreats are opportunities for team building versus getting specific projects done. Adam Schwartz, CEO of Articulate, said in a <\/span>blog with Hackernoon<\/span><\/a> that his company\u2019s retreats are \u201c95% socializing, 5% company meetings.\u201d Use retreats as an opportunity for building connections and save projects for regular workweeks.<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Encourage self-care to drive a better work-life balance<\/b><\/h2>\n

Studies show that <\/span>remote employees have a higher rate of burnout<\/span><\/a> than their colleagues in the office. Eighty-two percent of tech workers felt burnt out, while 52% report working longer hours than office employees. This could be due to several reasons, including feelings of responsibility, wanting to prove their productivity, and not knowing when their teammates have slowed down.<\/span><\/p>\n

Leaders in the organization should strive for better work-life balance within their teams, especially with remote employees. Encourage remote employees to take breaks, use vacation time when they want to, and refrain from enforcing a strict 9-to-5 schedule. Better yet, lead by example. After all, even managers need breaks too.<\/span><\/p>\n

Successfully including remote employees means success for your organization<\/b><\/h2>\n

While you won\u2019t have the convenience of entire teams in the same office, it\u2019s easy to create a cohesive identity with remote employees no matter where they are. Modern technology allows employees to work from anywhere, but communication, collaboration, and productivity still depend on human connections to be successful.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Make sure your remote employees feel included and your organization will thrive. Start with having the right video conferencing solution to make connections happen.
