AltaPoint Consulting’s Nine Best Practices to Manage a
Remote Work Team

1) Communication, have a lot of consistent and frequent communication

It may seem that remote work is lonely because there is no physical contact. The
truth is that using various types of communication is vital, including the consistent
use of video conferencing. A remote team must be able to communicate
smoothly and immediately to make work productive, as well as have regularly
scheduled social video conferencing interactions instead of regular physical
contact.

2) Talk “Face to Face”

The fact is that a large part of communication skills is based on non-verbal
language therefore audio conversations alone will not establish an adequate
channel of communication with your team. Although chatting with a coworker in
a suitable location is the most direct way to interact, it is sometimes impossible or
impractical. Making a video conference or video calls lasting a few minutes can be
just as effective.

3) Don’t forget your social life

When we work with a remote team, we may often tend to neglect our social life.
Do not fall for this mistake; we all need person-to-person contact with our
friends, so meet up with your pals regularly.

4) Set your hours & do not commingle

When your workspace is at home, it is crucial to separate your “work-life” from
your “personal life.” It is essential to have a clear distinction between the two. It’s
easy to end up mixing personal chores with work duties. You may end up running
the washing machine while answering a call and trying to hush your kids all at the
same time. That is why it is critical that you define your working hours, your
private workspace, and that everyone understands.

5) If you use a cell phone for work, have a number that is only for work

If your job requires you to use a mobile phone, we recommend having a separate
number for work. Distinguishing your personal calls from your business calls is
highly recommended, especially if you work from home. This will allow you to
turn off the work cell phone during personal time.

6) Learn to delegate

Do not attempt to do absolutely everything or micromanage each issue. Delegate
and share tasks with the appropriate team-mates to keep your work productive.

7) Take care of your appearance and that of your workspace

If you are going to make a video call with a client or a partner, keep in mind that
both the environment and your appearance and clothing must be appropriate.
You should present yourself as you would if you were physically attending.

8) Use the right tools to keep your team cohesive

Collaborative tools like a CRM (Customer Relationship Management tool) are
essential if you work remotely, especially as part of a team. Projects involving
several people must be on platforms that allow each member to see who is
working, on what, and what the status is in real-time.

9) Establish a space for relaxation with the team

If you live in the same city, you can have a meeting once a month, otherwise
perhaps a have relaxed chats on using videoconferencing. For example, setting
time for “digital happy hour” on Fridays to socialize may be a good idea.
Interactions among coworkers should not be restricted only to work matters.
