The evolution of the workplace continues to reach new heights, with many technologies fortifying the capabilities of remote work. While it’s easy to be excited for the future of work, one must never forget a core component in truly making a work-from-home model achieve success: fostering trust and togetherness between teams, despite the distance.
We know that building trust, in and out of the workplace, doesn’t happen overnight. In today’s remote work environment, it’s even more challenging to invite trust and harmony – there’s difficulty in forming real connections in a virtual setup, when others may perceive “virtual” to be “artificial.”
There is no official playbook on how to establish real connections. However, there are ways to invite trust, which can allow teams to thrive in a work environment where unity and togetherness are achieved, nurtured, and given. Here are eight important points for the evolution of the workplace to keep in mind:
- Instill integrity
- Be visible and accessible
- Allow flexibility and room for growth
- Let others lead
- Encourage communication and openness
- Accountability is key!
- Keep your word
- Find time for teams to engage and bond with one another
