1 Be proactive

Don't wait for others to reach out to you. Make an effort to initiate contact with your colleagues regularly. You can use various channels, such as email, phone, video call, chat, or social media, to communicate with them. Try to vary the modes and frequency of your communication, depending on the purpose and the preference of each colleague. For example, you can send a quick chat message to check in on their progress, or schedule a video call to brainstorm ideas for a project.

Being proactive is key to building and maintaining relationships when working remotely. Reach out to people to set up calls/virtual coffee chats etc, discuss work topics but also personal life, ask how they are doing and take interest to show you are engaged in building the relationship. If you are aware of projects within the team, connect with colleagues and offer to collaborate and work together to achieve the goal, or possibly learn a new topic/skill from them. This can help you but also your colleague in feeling a sense of value they can bring.

Instead of waiting for a work meeting as an opportunity to reach out to a colleague, drop them a casual message to connect and learn more about each other's work. This way, building connections doesn't feel impersonal and cold, and it helps with better collaboration across cross-functional teams.

2 Be personal

While it is important to maintain professionalism, it is also helpful to show some personality and interest in your colleagues as individuals. You can share some personal details, such as your hobbies, family, or pets, to create rapport and trust. You can also ask your colleagues about their lives, challenges, and achievements, to show empathy and support. Be respectful of their boundaries and privacy, and avoid topics that might be sensitive or controversial.

On the days I work remote with my team I make an effort to still video call them to check in and sometimes we even set up blocks of time to do tasks with each other on video. We feel productive, can talk through roadblocks and are able to get our work done. It's a win-win-win.

3 Be collaborative

Working remotely does not mean working alone. You can still collaborate with your colleagues on tasks, projects, and goals, by using online tools and platforms. You can also seek feedback, advice, and input from your colleagues, to demonstrate your willingness to learn and improve. You can also offer your help, expertise, and resources to your colleagues, to show your value and generosity. By collaborating with your colleagues, you can enhance your skills, knowledge, and performance, as well as build mutual trust and respect.

I have being studying online since January 2023. I have met uncountable good friends and study partners. One referred me to her employer, another encouraged me to not give up the program, I have been encouraging others to keep going, and like this the online way has brought great connections. It does not need to physical, just need to happen as team work.

4 Be social

One of the drawbacks of working remotely is the lack of informal and spontaneous interactions that happen in a physical office. You can overcome this by creating opportunities for socializing with your colleagues online. You can join or organize virtual events, such as coffee breaks, happy hours, games, quizzes, or book clubs, to have fun and bond with your colleagues. You can also celebrate milestones, birthdays, and achievements with your colleagues, to acknowledge and appreciate their efforts and contributions.

5 Be respectful

Working remotely can also bring some challenges, such as different time zones, work styles, and expectations. You can avoid misunderstandings and conflicts by being respectful of your colleagues' preferences and needs. You can do this by setting clear and realistic expectations, communicating effectively and politely, and giving and receiving feedback constructively. You can also respect your colleagues' time and space, by avoiding interruptions, distractions, and delays, and by honoring deadlines and commitments.

When reaching out to a colleague I try to email first to make sure they are available to speak via video conference or phone. If they aren't available, they'll let me know a more convenient time and we'll work from there. Many people don't like surprise video calls, since it can catch them unprepared. By reaching out in advance, I like to give my colleagues the opportunity to prep for the call on their terms.

6 Be adaptable

Working remotely can also require some flexibility and adaptability, as situations and circumstances can change quickly and unexpectedly. You can build relationships with your colleagues by being adaptable to their changing needs and demands. You can do this by being open-minded and curious, by embracing new ideas and opportunities, and by learning new skills and tools. You can also be adaptable by being resilient and optimistic, by coping with challenges and setbacks, and by finding solutions and alternatives.
