Use video calls for team meetings
Video calls let you and your team see each other, which is more personal than texts or emails. Seeing each other's faces helps build trust and rapport, which is important for teamwork. Plus, it's easier to understand how someone feels if you can see them.[1] This helps you better gauge emotions, collaborate on ideas, and provide support to your team members where necessary.
Face-to-face conversations are also better for delivering bad news or discussing sensitive topics such as performance issues or workplace conflicts, as they allow for more nuanced communication and empathy.
Essentially, video calls bridge the physical gap for remote teams, building a sense of community and belonging that empowers everyone to contribute their best creatively.
