THE LEDGER NO. 56: FOSTERING COLLABORATION IN A REMOTE SETTING
July 7, 2022 Sarah Dameron
Welcome to The Ledger where we sum up the latest finance and accounting news and
trends for you. On this week’s entry, we’re talking about the best ways to
collaborate remotely and why remote teams face communication challenges
consistently. Read on to explore how to approach engagement and collaboration in
a remote world, how to maintain a collaborative culture in a hybrid (and remote)
environment, how to build visibility in a hybrid workplace and ways to leverage
collaboration to thrive in business.
THE MODERN REMOTE WORLD REQUIRES MORE THAN JUST ENGAGEMENT - LEARN THE BEST WAYS
TO COLLABORATE REMOTELY
Can you facilitate a successful hybrid (or remote) team with just engagement
alone? A recent Gartner study found that workers in 2021 spent 33 percent of
their meeting time in person. The study goes on to show that by 2024, that
number would drop by eight percent. But the only thing those numbers really
prove is that the transition to remote work has accelerated beyond what we could
ever imagine. But in the midst of all this reshuffling, companies (small to
enterprise-level) are trying to think through new ways of keeping their
employees engaged on the job. Which begs the question of not only ‘how’ but
‘why’. The truth is, implementing a remote workforce requires more than just
engagement, but collaboration as well. It’s easy to sit at your desk all day,
answering emails and messages without actually having to communicate
face-to-face. But are your employees really content with their job? Better yet,
are they productive? Cultivating a culture that nurtures healthy relationships
throughout the company leads to more engaged employees and better collaboration
(a win-win for workers and organizations across the board). But wait. How can
you build a more collaborative team, no matter the work arrangements?
* Investing in tools like Slack or Microsoft Teams
* Creating staff experiences such as monthly get-togethers or annual retreats
* Developing strategies that will help boost morale, increase retention efforts
and improve output
For more on how to fuel your remote employees to be more engaged and
collaborative, check out the full article on forbes.com.
MAINTAINING A COLLABORATIVE CULTURE IN A VIRTUAL WORLD
Remote work has become commonplace for companies across the globe. Not only has
remote work allowed people to work from wherever, but it’s also leveled the
playing field for workers who might not be able to come into office. Despite all
the advantages, remote work comes with its own set of challenges, such as
fostering collaboration. The key is to invest in your culture – both at a team
level and a company level. Here’s how:
* Team level. What are the norms around communication? Your team should set
expectations in several areas. Areas like:
* Meetings
* Communication methods
* Availability
* Company level. You should be thoughtful about your internal communications.
This can be done through:
* All hands meetings
* Weekly newsletters
* Video messages from the c-suite
The other thing to consider is how to make working virtually fun. You can do
this by creating scavenger hunters, virtual happy-hours or hosting offsite
events once a quarter.
Collaboration in a remote environment takes more work than we would like, but
it’s worth the effort. To discover how to maintain a collaborative culture and
some of the best ways to collaborate remotely, head over to entrepreneur.com to
read the article.
BUILDING VISIBILITY INTO A HYBRID WORKPLACE TO SUCCESSFULLY COLLABORATE REMOTELY
For many employees, the choice to work remotely is an easy one as the benefits
outweigh the challenges. But for a business, flexible work can pose a challenge,
especially when it comes tracking performance. A recent ADP survey showed that
nearly two-thirds of those polled would consider looking for a new job if they
were required to return to the office full time. And although companies want to
give workers the flexibility they desire, it’s just not that simple. In order to
make flex work, leaders need to rethink their visibility into the org. Here’s a
few practices that can help you determine which type of flex work would be the
best fit for your company:
* Universal. The company has an org-wide work model.
* Variable. Scheduling decisions are made at the team level – other departments
may have a different approach.
* Case-by-case. Employees set their own schedules and must adhere to them.
* Fluid. Individuals can work wherever and whenever they want (no geographical
boundaries).
However, visibility needs differ based on the people involved. People like:
* Senior leaders. They need visibility to ensure strategic alignment and
coordination across the whole company.
* Mid-level managers. These types of leaders are more focused on the team and
managing bandwidth.
* Individual contributors. Although they’re not at a high level, IC’s need to
know schedule preferences of their teammates (as not to interrupt their work
time).
Moreover, ensuring the success of a new visibility approach requires:
* Transparent communication. What are your expectations?
* Access to data and insights. You should share the information you found with
all stakeholders in a timely fashion.
* Action and real-time adjustments. Don’t just sit on the data – take action by
identifying opportunities for improvement.
For more on how to intertwine flexibility and visibility into teams across the
org, read the full article on hbr.org.
THE PERFECT MIX: HOW COLLABORATION EQUATES TO BUSINESS SUCCESS
What does collaboration mean? Is it sharing the workload? Or perhaps it’s
utilizing digital tools to enhance collaboration? Or maybe it’s bringing
together people from numerous backgrounds to solve problems and think
creatively? Whatever the definition, here’s how to optimize your collaboration
to make your company thrive:
* Embrace differences and bridge knowledge gaps. What insight will you gain if
everyone thinks the same way? Absolutely none. Look outside of your team for
answers.
* Be aligned on mission and values. It’s okay to debate, as long as it’s
healthy and constructive. In fact, diversity of ideas and thoughts is key to
innovation.
* Reinvent digital and physical collaboration. Many companies have made the
switch from in-person work to hybrid work. Hybrid work allows employees to
have more control over their time.
Employees are the ones who make a company successful. And having a diverse set
of skills and experiences is what builds a strong workforce and makes a business
stand out in this economy. For more on why collaboration is the foundation for
success, check out the complete article on forbes.com.
