Being in loop and keeping everyone else in loop as much as possible with updates and changes.

To tackle remote collaboration challenges, I prioritize clear communication and set regular check-ins to ensure alignment. Embracing collaborative tools and fostering an inclusive virtual culture also play crucial roles in overcoming any obstacles.

I agree, a positive company culture is essential for me Sophia.

Büşra, setting clear expectations and maintaining regular communication through tools like Slack and Zoom has been key to overcoming the hurdles of remote collaboration. Additionally, we use project management software like Asana to keep everyone aligned on tasks and deadlines, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.

organising meeting at least 1 per week and connect everyday with people.

Regular check ins with the whole team and Slack, as we are launching today we are using Google Meets to stay in touch Büşra (support welcome) 😀🚀

Effective communication and trust are key. Regular virtual meet-ups and clear project management tools help a lot.

Schedule regular video or voice meetings to maintain team connection.

Leverage tools like Slack, Microsoft Teams, or other messaging platforms to facilitate real-time communication.

Utilize project management tools such as Trello, Asana, or Jira to track tasks and progress.

Hold virtual meetings through platforms like Zoom or Microsoft Teams for face-to-face communication.

Ensure everyone understands the workflow and processes for remote collaboration.

Acknowledge and celebrate achievements, providing regular feedback to keep the team motivated.

Implement VPNs and cybersecurity measures to safeguard against potential security threats.

Offer training sessions on remote collaboration tools and best practices.

Communication and transparency are key. Documenting remote practices in a "how we work" resource can also be helpful to set expectations (OysterHR has a good one that's public). An occasional team social event helps people to feel more connected as well, but it really depends on the company. There's always going to be some folks who are into events and some people who want no social time at work. I've found that the best events are done during core work hours (if you have those) and are 100% opt-in so you can satisfy both groups.

Like many have said - strong communication can solve 99% of potential problems. As long as projects are outlined, goals aligned and sign-offs clear - asynchronous working in a remote setting is possible! We see it work all the time at Quickly Hire! We emphasize the importance of daily updates and communication between contractors and their clients. Always show what you've worked on, what you intend to work on tomorrow, and ask for any feedback or guidance needed.

For us, it has to be the communication aspect as well! It's challenging to jump back and forth between different channels, meetings, and still have everything all in your mind. That's why we are using (internally) and building Shadow (https://www.shadow.do/). Would love your feedback on this one :)
