Over-communicate<\/h3>\n<p>One of the biggest challenges\u2014especially for remote teams\u2014is communication. In fact, it is virtually impossible to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/gb\/en\/blog\/ultimate-guide-how-collaborate-anywhere\/#ring-uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">over-communicate on remote teams.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>While it won\u2019t solve all of your problems, it can be worthwhile to invest in communication software or apps, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/gb\/en\/teams\/overview.html?BMID=BLOGNEWUK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">RingCentral<\/a>. These tools act as a communication hub and allow users to connect via chat, audio, and video. Many allow teams to upload, share, and edit files within the tool. This keeps teams connected, projects streamlined, and communications efficient and transparent.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-52274\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Unlimited-team-messaging-1.gif\" alt=\"RingCentral team messaging UI\" width=\"1280\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><a id=\"set\"><\/a>2. Set a clear agenda for each meeting<\/h3>\n<p>Technology has made it easy to touch base with teammates at a moment\u2019s notice. Texts, emails, and chat rooms have made it simple to send quick communication at any time of day or night.<\/p>\n<p>However, meetings remain one of the most efficient ways to communicate lengthy or complex information. To ensure you aren\u2019t wasting time or treading water during the meeting, make a game plan ahead of time.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/newrcblog.wpengine.com\/us\/en\/blog\/meeting-agenda-templates\/\">Setting a clear agenda<\/a> before each meeting ensures that time is used effectively, and all points are covered. Without an agenda, attendees tend to veer off-track and miss important information. Each agenda will be different, but here are some questions to help get you started in planning the outline of your meeting:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Who will be speaking?<\/li>\n<li>What topics need to be covered?<\/li>\n<li>What is the goal or purpose of the meeting?<\/li>\n<li>How much time should be allotted per speaker? Per topic?<\/li>\n<li>How much time is needed for questions?<\/li>\n<li>What materials need to be distributed, if any, before the meeting?<\/li>\n<li>How do speakers and team members need to prepare for the meeting?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><a id=\"schedule\"><\/a>3. Schedule regular status updates<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-58051\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Article-image_RingEX_Desktop-Phone-Call-recordings-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"3840\" height=\"2160\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The more often you check in on your team and their workload, the better. Hosting daily or weekly stand-ups\u2014whether it\u2019s through a video conferencing tool or an online form like <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jotform.com\/features\/assign-forms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">JotForm<\/a><\/strong>, or in a recurring check-in call with the whole team or specific departments\u2014can help to address roadblocks before they become serious issues.<\/p>\n<p>Constant communication in the form of scheduled check-ins helps to unveil potential bottlenecks or issues with workflows. A simple check-in ensures everyone is on the same page and in good shape to complete their tasks for the day or week.<\/p>\n<p>For example, you could auto-assign a 3-question form to your team every Friday where you ask them:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What they accomplished this week?<\/li>\n<li>What\u2019s on their plate next week?<\/li>\n<li>What roadblocks or challenges\u2014if any\u2014are they encountering?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><a id=\"up\"><\/a>4. Set up one-to-one weekly calls<\/h3>\n<p>Just as it\u2019s important to meet with the whole team, it\u2019s equally important to make time for individual meetings. Make it a point to schedule time weekly to talk with each team member.<\/p>\n<p>If the size of your organization makes this difficult, it\u2019s okay to set up the meetings biweekly or monthly instead. These can be audio or video chats, but it helps to use video when possible to bring a real human connection to the conversation.<\/p>\n<p>In these one-to-one calls, you can talk to your employee about anything from their workload and thoughts on company policies to their ambitions for moving up in the business. Take the feedback and implement it when practical.<\/p>\n<p>The importance of these calls cannot be overstated. They\u2019re the perfect opportunity to get to know your employee\u2019s strengths, ambitions, and ideas for improving the organization. They also help you get to know the employee as a person. They foster relationships and let the employee know they\u2019re being heard within the company.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><a id=\"encourage\"><\/a>5. Encourage video calls<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-50765\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/RCV-screen-sharing.gif\" alt=\"ringcentral cloud communications\" width=\"1280\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s tempting to shut the camera off and rely on audio-only for conferencing. It can be a bit unnerving at first to see yourself on camera. However, seeing each other on calls is key to relationship building when managing remote teams.<\/p>\n<p>Team status meetings, one-to-one calls, and other business-related meetings can all be held through video chats.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tip\">\n<div class=\"tip-heading\"><i><strong>Pro-tip: <\/strong><\/i><\/div>\n<p>If the thought of turning on your webcam is intimidating to you, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/gb\/en\/blog\/video-conferencing-made-easy\/#ring-uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i>check out this guide with some simple video conferencing best practices<\/i><\/a><i>. <\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>However, video conferencing is also perfect for team-building activities. For example, remote teams can take turns sharing their office, favorite room, or possession on camera. When teams don\u2019t work together in a physical office, it can be difficult to connect. Seeing each other and getting a glimpse of each other\u2019s workspaces helps to strengthen bonds between coworkers.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><a id=\"identify\"><\/a>6. Identify company goals<\/h3>\n<p>Every company has a set of common goals and objectives. These vary depending on the focus of the business, but they should be clearly defined. Communicate the established common goals to everyone on the team to make sure they all have a similar mindset and are working toward the same objective.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you own a tech support company, one of your goals might be to be responsive to clients. Knowing this is the company goal, should a client contact one of your employees after hours or on holiday, the employee would be more likely to respond to the request. Even if it\u2019s just to say they\u2019re unavailable to take care of the issue immediately, but will address the concern the following business day. Without this clearly defined goal, the employee might not check their email after hours and would likely wait until the following day to respond to the client when they were back on the clock.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><a id=\"consider\"><\/a>7. Consider \u201cstay interviews\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>Not many people are familiar with the concept of \u201cstay interviews,\u201d but they\u2019re simple and work wonders for employee retention. This interview is a one-on-one discussion between a manager or supervisor and a valued employee. The objective is to find out what makes the person want to continue working at your company. It can unearth what makes your top employees want to stay or leave.<\/p>\n<p>It helps to host these semi-informal interviews annually and around the same time of year for everyone. You don\u2019t need to interview all employees, but you should interview the ones you do within weeks of each other. This way, you can compare your findings and quickly implement the feedback. Here are a few questions you could ask during the stay interview:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cAre you happy working here?\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cDo you feel fully utilized in your role?\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cIf you were your manager, what would you do differently?\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cWhere would you like to be two years from now?\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cWhat positive experiences have you had here that have helped you grow as a professional?\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cWhat type of negative experience would cause you to look for a different job?\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Many employees are happy that their future with the company and their feedback are being considered. Just by checking in and ensuring your team is happy with their job shows that you care about them and their professional growth.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><a id=\"provide\"><\/a>8. Provide regular training opportunities<\/h3>\n<p>Training takes time, money, and effort, but it\u2019s well worth the investment. Providing regular educational opportunities ensures that your team is keeping up with work-related trends and improving their skills that, in turn, help the company\u2019s bottom line. While you can provide training on anything from Excel basics to advanced coding techniques, it\u2019s communications training that\u2019s often overlooked.<\/p>\n<p>Training, specifically geared toward communications, helps improve the way teams collaborate in many ways. Beneficial communication courses are easy to find through sites like <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/learning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LinkedIn Learning<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.udemy.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Udemy<\/a><\/strong>. This type of training helps improve the ability to inform and persuade, send effective messages, speak during presentations, build relationships, give feedback, and more.<\/p>\n<div class=\"rc-subscribe\" id=\"new-rc-subscribe\"  style=\"background-image:url('\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/ringcentral\/assets\/images\/temp\/subscribe.png')\">\n\t\t<button class=\"close js-popup-close\"><svg class=\"icon_close_mobile\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\"><use xlink:href=\"#icon_close_mobile\"><\/use><\/svg><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"rc-subscribe__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"rc-subscribe__wrapper_text\">\n<h3 class=\"rc-subscribe__title h2\">Stay informed with RingCentral<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rc-subscribe__subtitle\">Subscribe to our emails for the latest blogs, events, and exclusive content on AI-powered communication solutions.

When you encourage employees in different departments to learn about other roles in the company, you\u2019re setting them up for success.<\/p>\n<p>The goal isn\u2019t to be able to transfer someone to a different department. Of course, if someone is interested in working in another department, you should have that discussion with them to see if it makes sense. But the goal here is to open the lines of communication and give team members insight into how other departments fit into the organization.<\/p>\n<p>For example, encourage your marketing department to have regular discussions with your developers. If the marketing team has a better understanding of how the software features are made and work, they can more effectively sell the benefits of it. And vice versa, if the developers know how the product will be marketed, they can communicate how the features work more clearly to the marketing team. Each side can learn from one another, and in turn, this creates a more cohesive experience across the company.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><a id=\"create\"><\/a>9. Create a virtual suggestion box<\/h3>\n<p>Have you ever gone to a store or restaurant and seen a suggestion box? One where you fill out a form with your comments or complaints and drop it in the box? This is the same concept. The beauty of a suggestion box is the ability to remain anonymous. You feel more comfortable leaving honest feedback that way, particularly if it happens to be negative.<\/p>\n<p>However, when it comes to remote teams, you can\u2019t have a physical dropbox. But you should still protect anonymity in order to get the most honest feedback possible.<\/p>\n<p>A good way to offer an anonymous suggestion box to your employees is to use an online form or survey builder software like JotForm, which makes it easy for someone to build a survey in minutes and lets team members submit their responses in anonymity. It can be helpful to include a mix of multiple-choice and open-ended questions.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><a id=\"celebrate\"><\/a>10. Celebrate milestones, birthdays, and team wins<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-39577\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/HappyEmployees.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1050\" height=\"360\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Though you may not be able to meet in person to celebrate special occasions, you can still boost morale and encourage communication by celebrating them virtually. Little gestures make a big difference and help to build a community. It helps to make people feel appreciated and valued.<\/p>\n<p>To celebrate with remote teams, simply announce the milestone through email or on the next call. You can even host a virtual happy hour to celebrate. You could also send a virtual gift card or small gift to employees on their special day. It doesn\u2019t have to be expensive. It can be something as simple as a gift card for a cup of coffee at Starbucks.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><a id=\"implement\"><\/a>11. Implement a corporate newsletter<\/h3>\n<p>Sending out a company newsletter helps everyone stay connected. It ensures everyone feels included and is informed about business updates. Newsletters can be sent weekly, monthly, or at another time interval that makes sense for your company\u2019s needs. While there\u2019s no set template you have to follow for a company newsletter, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/gb\/en\/blog\/team-messaging-etiquette-5-tips\/#ring-uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here are some best practices for internal messaging.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>However, too often, company newsletters end up being dry and boring to read. Instead of simply including your company\u2019s achievements and changes to your HR policies, have some fun with the newsletter.<\/p>\n<p>For example, you could include a \u201cGetting to Know You\u201d segment. Each newsletter would feature a different employee and list fun facts about them like their hobbies, the names of their pets, their favourite foods, or where they would love to travel. You could encourage participation by leaving the name of the person off of the profile and letting everyone guess who it is. Then, reveal the name in the next newsletter.<\/p>\n<p>In sum, there are many ways to encourage communication and collaboration across an organization. Know that improving communication in the workplace is always a work in progress. Frequently evaluate your communication strategy and adjust as needed. Most importantly, make sure your employees know that their feedback and communication are valued.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Effective communication is crucial for the success of any business.
