Creating A Digital Office That Feels Connected

There are four steps to it:

• Communicate frequently.
• Cultivate a shared identity and purpose.
• Be dependable, reliable, and accessible.
• Connect with others authentically.

To key to building a culture of visibility with your remote team is perceived proximity, where your remote team members feel connected to others mentally and emotionally. In the physical work environment, you feel comfortable talking to people, regardless of rank. However, you may feel more awkward to ping the CEO a question in chat when you've never seen them in the lunch line or said hi in the hallway.
