Remote work­ing is becom­ing increas­ing­ly com­mon­place. This is possible thanks to advances in com­mu­ni­ca­tion tech­nol­o­gy and team col­lab­o­ra­tion soft­ware such as Qwil.
To maintain productivity and performance it is essen­tial to ensure that reg­u­lar, real-time com­mu­ni­ca­tion between remote teams is seam­less and sim­ple.
Here are some tips and suggestions to consider when using Qwil with your remote team:

Communicate with teammates

No matter the size of your organisation, communication is the key to collaboration. Whether it is in large group chats or through one-one on conversations, be sure to keep the communication going. Remote work­ing can be dif­fi­cult and iso­lat­ing for cer­tain peo­ple. Build process­es to ensure that your team mem­bers keep in touch with their co-work­ers and super­vi­sors in order to main­tain morale and devel­op a sense of team­work.

Nurture the culture of your remote team by using a “General” chat

Create a "General" chat where all your team can participate, send, and read messages. This should be an open space for messages, files, and people that helps keep everyone informed. But don't forget to also keep it casual. A general chat is a good way for your teammates to get to know one other, and share things like articles, social announcements, or even weekend plans.

Even in all its casualness, you may find that it becomes an essential place to discuss big issues and get input from across the team.

Encourage conversations between employees and management

Create a "Questions and feedback" chat that works as an open line of communication between leadership teams and employees. This can help empower employees to ask questions and start discussions, as well as for leaders to give insight into decision making and keep remote staff up to date on cur­rent com­pa­ny devel­op­ments.
