Remote work has built – rather than broken – trust among colleagues. Here's how

As many of us shift towards a virtual world where all the training, consulting, meeting and managing is happening, we are becoming increasingly transparent and empathetic to the problems team members face and the solutions that are provided.

Domain-specific knowledge is sought-after but people are not negating trust in a person just because of their inability to get things done the first or second time.

As connections go virtual, the need for connecting increases, partly due to the overall difficult climate all around the world, and the isolation that the lockdowns have resulted in.

People are pitching in and connecting even with adverse circumstances at home, as most of us have personal problems we may be handling at home. This is providing a shared sense of caring and good intentions.

• Virtual connections have made our values become more transparent and identifiable.
• People are choosing health over wealth during the pandemic, and moving towards family, love and connections rather than competing with others.
• Most of us are resilient and fighting hard to get through these turbulent and challenging times.
• These common values move the needle towards more personal and team integrity.
