Nothing can be a replacement for the importance of (actual) face time. Meeting face to face once in a while will help you and your employees better understand the personalities, nature, work habits, opinions, and perspectives of each other. Having a face and a better understanding of a person behind the screen is very important for working effectively and productively.<\/p>\n<p>You can organize a get together every month or every 2-3 months, whatever time schedule suits your organization to meet your remote employees.<\/p>\n<p>With warm get together and some fun team building activities and conversations directly impact productivity, team morale, and overall team performance. No matter how big or small the size of your team is, it is important that you focus on team building activities and create a sense of connectedness amongst your organization.<\/p>\n<p>This trend of getting together can be an opportunity to have a big discussion around culture, vision, and team future with your employees.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Set_boundaries_with_your_remote_employees\"><\/span><b>2.

As the teammates are working from different places or maybe different countries that make a difference in time zones as well, any notifications or chat messages or emails can ruin someone\u2019s sleep or disturb their family time.<\/p>\n<p>Discussion of work schedules and what can be the right time for calling or texting them and setting prior understanding with each team member can be proof that you respect their time and that you care for them. This will help in building optimistic relationships with employees, making sure nothing is too hard for anyone and no one is under pressure.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Send_out_weekly_updates\"><\/span><b>3.

Having proper knowledge about the company and brand should be an ongoing educational opportunity for employees. For making this learning possible, you can organize particular events for your remote team members where they can get time to develop an understanding of the core values of the company in their own way of working. Training employees give them a chance to grow with the company and keep them engaged.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Work_on_team_morale\"><\/span><b>6. Work on team morale<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Team members working from the outside office or from different cities can often feel disconnected or demotivated when there is less or no communication with their teammates. In most cases, it can be a difficult task harder to deal with a remote employee who has low morale as compared to full-time in-office members of the team.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, it is also tough to work on morale-building for remote teams. Their physical absence does not allow managers to perform team-building exercises and games to encourage collaboration and improve motivation.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2628\" src=\"https:\/\/orgzit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Work-on-team-morale--1024x512.png\" alt=\"Work on team morale\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orgzit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Work-on-team-morale--1024x512.png 1024w, https:\/\/orgzit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Work-on-team-morale--300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/orgzit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Work-on-team-morale--768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/orgzit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Work-on-team-morale-.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To overcome this and to build remote team members&#8217; morale, a different approach is needed. Organizations should be able to provide adequate help to any employee suffering from a lack of motivation.<\/p>\n<p>If your team member is behind the deadline and is not able to work, provide them with the proper counseling, and have a proper word with them regularly to keep their morale up.<\/p>\n<p>If an employee is making mistakes, then provide adequate and extensive training material to get them up to speed.<\/p>\n<p>You can boost your team members&#8217; morale by providing them with rewards for their good work and showing gratitude.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Respect_cultural_differences\"><\/span><b>7.
