1 Virtual Meetings

Effective virtual meetings are the cornerstone of remote collaboration. To ensure these meetings help build relationships, always be punctual and prepared. Use video when possible to create a more personal connection and remember to actively listen , showing engagement through nods or verbal affirmations. Encourage participation from all attendees to make the meetings inclusive and collaborative. This promotes a sense of belonging and respect among team members, which is vital for strong relationships.

Schedule regular virtual coffee breaks or lunch meetings with colleagues and clients. Use this time to catch up on a personal level, discuss non-work-related topics, and build rapport.

2 Clear Communication

Clear communication is essential in a virtual setting. Be concise and articulate in emails and messages to avoid misunderstandings. Use the appropriate tone to convey your message effectively, and don't forget the power of a well-timed emoji to add warmth to your text. Regular updates on projects and availability also help in setting clear expectations, which is key to maintaining trust and reliability with both colleagues and clients.

When possible, tailor your communication style to match the preferences of individual colleagues or clients. Some may prefer more frequent check-ins, while others prefer more autonomy.

3 Personal Touch

Adding a personal touch goes a long way in virtual interactions. Celebrate milestones and acknowledge achievements of your colleagues and clients. A quick message on special occasions or a virtual coffee chat can make people feel valued and appreciated. Personalized interactions show that you see beyond the professional facade, nurturing deeper connections that are critical for lasting relationships.

Remembering what virtual team members say goes a long way. Relationships build over time, so if you only interact in the present, you miss the building. Remember things they like, remember to ask about their child's activity they mentioned last week or follow up on a visit they had to their hometown. If they brought it up to you, make it personal by remembering.

4 Feedback Loops

Creating feedback loops is crucial for relationship building. Solicit feedback regularly and offer constructive criticism when necessary. This two-way communication not only improves work processes but also demonstrates your commitment to mutual growth and respect. Acknowledge the feedback you receive and act on it, which will show that you value your colleagues' and clients' opinions and foster a culture of continuous improvement .

5 Consistency Counts

Consistency in your virtual presence reassures your colleagues and clients of your reliability. Be consistent in your communication frequency, quality of work, and your availability during working hours. This predictability creates a stable environment where others feel secure and more willing to engage, knowing they can count on you to be a steady presence in the virtual office landscape.

Consistency in meetings when you only work with each other virtually is so important. If you have a meeting scheduled, but little content, don't cancel, just shorten. Still make that touch point with the team or colleague. Turn it in to a quick check in, tell them the morning before agenda is light today, bring your favorite mug and tell us the story about it. Keep meetings consistent even if agenda is light.

6 Team Bonding

Lastly, don't overlook the importance of team bonding activities . Organize virtual events such as game nights or group challenges that allow for informal interaction and laughter. These events break down barriers and enable team members to connect on a more personal level, which is often missing in a virtual setting. Bonding activities help to build camaraderie and a sense of team spirit that is essential for a harmonious and productive work environment.

If resources are available for your team, send a "meeting in a box" for a team meeting, with snacks and a small gift or activity to do together. I have hosted meeting bingo, but actually sent a physical bingo card to the team. Have everyone send in pictures and make a calendar that you send to everyone. It can seem cheesy, but these things really do bond a team. And anytime you have "bonding questions" let them be open enough so that someone could share something personal or something more general. We did a two truths and a lie holiday tradition, some people did silly and some people made it personal. You learn about your team either way.
