‘For a remote team to succeed, its manager must both believe that remote teams can succeed and trust that each member will come through as expected.’

‘Give remote workers the opportunity to earn your trust by demonstrating their reliability.’

‘There is no single formula for successful remote working. Each person, each company, will need to experiment to find what proves to be most productive.’

‘Offering the remote option allows employers to retain and attract the talent they need to remain competitive; this benefit can be essential when a project calls for specific expertise.’

‘Embracing the remote option calls for shifting from a mind set of hours-oriented working to results-oriented or ROWE.’

‘Remember that ideal hires are often proactive communicators who are sufficiently tech-savvy and passionate about the work.’

‘Ensure quick and easy access to the tools and information needed to do one’s job efficiently.’

‘Arrange for teams to meet in person regularly– ideally quarterly or more than often.’

‘Maintain an open line of communication with each team member. Check in often to ensure everyone has what he or she needs.’

‘Explore various ways to regularly express thanks for each individual’s contribution. Praise effort rather than ability.’

‘Individual well-being begins with a personal plan; small steps lead to big changes.’

‘Psychological well-being at work goes beyond safety to include autonomy, a sense of purpose, compassion, and kindness.’

‘Building Trusted Teams begins with recognizing and dealing with structural and cultural barriers to change.’

‘Safety, empathy, and trust are elementary, and must be deliberately grown and nurtured as part of teamwork.‘

‘Strengthening your human skills at work begins with understanding your own mindset and how your intelligence and emotions work together to direct what you do.’

‘Strong relationships enable people to work well together, not despite their differences, but because they leverage their different strengths.‘

‘Well-being goes beyond wellness, and honoring differences is one way to design well-being directly into work.’

‘A work style is the sum of temperament, beliefs, skills, habits, and all the choices you make through a day that guide your behavior.’

‘Blending human cognition with human emotion creates the skills of the future.’

‘Strong relationships are built on understanding what persona you project, and what others perceive.’

‘Taking deliberate small steps, like a weeklong digital detox, can return us to greater control over our technology use.’
