Include Remote Workers in All of Your Team Meetings

When some team members don't work in the main office, it can be easy for them to feel neglected. For example, they may be forced to miss meetings because your A/V technology isn't reliable, even if you wish you could include them. But it's bad for cohesion and productivity when remote workers can't join meetings, especially when the team is going over key points, asking questions, and sharing feedback. All of your employees deserve to be up-to-date on the latest information and goals. Even if your meeting is a stand-up that has an informal feel and doesn't always start at the same time, make sure remote employees are equal participants. Find a reliable technology to let them join meetings over video chat (or at least the phone). It will enhance collaboration if everyone can see each other, and remote colleagues will be able to participate as if they're in the room.

Adapted from "Stop Neglecting Remote Workers," by Michael Ferguson
