Imagine this: you\u2019ve got a task for your colleague. They work just a few steps away from you, in the same office. What you\u2019re going to do, most likely, is to get up, approach them and delegate said task verbally.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, in the remote setting, there\u2019s quite a bit of distance between you. Many companies try to replicate this \u201capproach and delegate\u201d method. Doing so, they end up on endless video conferences or call each other several times a day.<\/span><\/p>\n

When you look at it from the side, it doesn\u2019t make much sense to do so. Just because something worked in the office, it doesn\u2019t mean it will work in the remote setting. Things once effective may now be your biggest time wasters.<\/span><\/p>\n

And nobody likes daily calls anyway, right?<\/span><\/p>\n

If your team is new to remote work, then it\u2019s likely you\u2019ve got no idea where to even begin. Should you just get video conferencing software and call it a day? Do you need more tools? New processes?<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t beat yourself about it if you\u2019ve got no idea <\/span>how to organize your team\u2019s work<\/span><\/a> in the new setting. It\u2019s not an easy task even for the seasoned remote workers.<\/span><\/p>\n

That said, keep in mind that being clueless on how to organize things could lead to mistakes that kill effective remote team communication.<\/span><\/p>\n

To limit the number of daily video calls, teams often turn to <\/span>written communication<\/span><\/a> as an alternative. From emails to chat rooms, the options are plenty.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, written communication is an art in itself. You may do excellent when talking in person and, at the same time, be horrible when it comes to conveying ideas through written messages.<\/span><\/p>\n

The written communication sins are plenty: from leaving things out because they \u201cgo without saying\u201d, to misinterpreting the other person\u2019s tone (because we don\u2019t hear it, of course).<\/span><\/p>\n

And they might be the main reason why you and your team suddenly can\u2019t get along.<\/span><\/p>\n

In an office, you share a common space where you see your team on a daily basis. Maybe you meet up in a social room. Maybe you\u2019ve got a giant whiteboard where people pin their messages and add notes about projects.<\/span><\/p>\n

With remote work in the picture, the physical office vanishes. And with it, the precious aspect of sharing your working space.<\/span><\/p>\n

Suddenly, you lose all ties to your colleagues. You\u2019re alone in your own home office. You\u2019ve got no idea where others are and what they work on. To get an update on tasks, you need to get on a (yet another) video call.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to communicate when most that you\u2019ve got in common are spreadsheets you\u2019ve shared online.<\/span><\/p>\n

It can be related to the fact you\u2019ve got no idea how to organize the work of your newly remote team.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because of their limited ability to quickly communicate on the changes, distributed teams have double the need of working according to strict patterns. When questions arise and you can\u2019t immediately get in touch with the right person, processes and tasks get delayed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Remote team communication suffers from lack of processes. Getting them right could solve quite a few of your problems.<\/span><\/p>\n

Imagine the situation in which the team switches to remote work<\/a>. They were happy in the office and collaborated well. Now, the manager, full of trust towards their team members, believes they are fully capable of getting around the new setting.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile the employees, even though having the best of intentions, are lost in the situation and count on being guided.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is an easy example of how different people can view remote work. Some people need more flexibility. They want to be trusted and left to work independently. Others, on the other hand, need guidance and a daily to-do list delivered to their inbox.<\/span><\/p>\n

People are different. And if you don\u2019t get the expectations clear on the table, you might end up with a whole lot of communication issues.<\/span><\/p>\n
