Working together
It’s much easier to check in on colleagues when sharing a physical space. Informal communications like office exchanges with colleagues contribute to an organization’s culture and functionality more than email and instant messaging.
Tips for bridging the gap
- Open the virtual office door and make use of the trusty status bar. A message like “Open for chats!” along with a green status circle gives permission to approach for a quick convo.
- Develop a sense of place with virtual meeting rooms that lead to a feeling of belonging. The virtual meeting technology space is burgeoning, giving employers more and more options for how to bring these rooms to life.
