Remote working. Virtual teams. That is the situation many of us find ourselves in now. Before coronavirus, the consensus on the effectiveness of remote working seemed split. But now, we are in it and will likely be in it for the foreseeable future. One of the hardest adjustments for people seems to be the loss of connection. It turns out that all of the informal and in-between meeting chit chat played a huge part in creating connection and building relationships. So, in this new normal, how can we be out of sight but not out of mind?

Key Takeaways:

While you may not need to connect with someone today, someone else may really need that from you. Keep this in mind and do your part to foster connected, trusting, relationships with people at work no matter what your job title is.
Be adaptable! This is all so fluid. Don’t assume that how you show up today will be what is needed tomorrow.
