While working remotely, which many of us have had to do over the last year, staying in touch with work colleagues is very important. And itβs not just about work related conversations. One thing many people are missing is the office catch-ups or drinks after work. As expert web designers in Surrey we understand the need to stay in touch with your colleagues while working from home:
Voice or Video Meetings
Thanks to the wonders of technology, itβs much easier nowadays to stay in touch with our colleagues. At Thunderbolt, our team gets together everyday in morning and afternoon meetings. This gives us time to go through our tasks for the day and assign any work. Itβs also an opportunity to ask questions to our line manager or colleagues. Plus, we get to catch up with each other and have a few βwater coolerβ moments. Putting voices and faces to a name helps keep more of a personal connection with the people youβre working with too.
Emails
While weβre not in the office you must make sure that communication doesnβt fall through the cracks. A simple way to help this issue is to CC all relevant people into the emails youβre sending. So if youβre emailing a client for example, CC the account manager and everyone who works on the account, so theyβre all kept informed.
Slack
Since working from home, slack has been our best friend. Itβs a great way to essentially be able to text everyone who works at your company. You can make group chats to include certain people involved in specific projects or departments. Plus, if you integrate Slack with your Google Calendar like lots of us do, itβll update your status to let your colleagues know youβre in a meeting, and itβll send you reminder notifications that your meeting is about to start.Β
A Quiz
Here at Thunderbolt, we have a weekly quiz. This is a great opportunity for all of the staff to get together in a much more casual environment. It allows us to keep in touch in a different format, nothing about work, just some good hearted competition and more than a few laughs.Β
