‘Virtual meetings occur both one-on-one and in teams. … this new virtual intimacy may encourage conversations that wouldn’t normally happen in a workplace. Leaders must be aware that certain topics they discuss in one-on-one meetings will not be appropriate to bring up in full-team meetings, and that employees expect a certain amount of confidentiality from their leaders when they discuss subjects that they do not want exposed.’- Takako Hirata

‘Remove any mechanisms at work that monitor whether an employee is online or working. Trust is something that should be assumed to be there, and each time the team meets or surpasses expectations, that trust is built upon. Employers violates their employees’ trust when they use software that tracks their screens or keyboards.’– Takako Hirata

‘Recognition is one of the strongest motivators at work and helps ensure that leaders and employees are paying attention to their colleagues’ results and execution.’– Takako Hirata

‘Encourage team members to communicate and make informal connections when managers and other leaders are not present.’– Takako Hirata

‘Encourage flexibility and emphasize the importance of taking breaks.’- Takako Hirata

‘Encourage socialization among peers.’- Takako Hirata

Build a virtual office culture to help employees feel supported.’- Takako Hirata
