I wonder is this really true? If we are <strong>working in the same company<\/strong> with <strong>common goals and challenges<\/strong>, discussing, doing teamwork, succeeding and failing, trust will happen through those encounters and collaboration moments. I don&#8217;t think that&#8217;s even so different as opposed to f2f working. I <strong>believe in positive thinking <\/strong>and that everything is possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we have <strong>shared and transparent values and culture<\/strong>, and we <strong>do our work well<\/strong>, trust will develop with time. <strong>Attitude<\/strong> is an important factor in this area too. Believe that trust can be reached, and it will. Work to achieve it. Managers and leaders have a lot of responsibility to make it happen. Like many other remote work aspects, this will need <strong>intentionality and commitment <\/strong>to work for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Diving deeper into my <strong>remote work thesis<\/strong>, a <strong>few practical ways to build trust in<\/strong> remote teams according to some research papers are<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83e\udd29 Providing reliable and effective technological resources and tools<br>\ud83e\udd29 HR functions: well-functioning employee\/team onboarding and training<br>\ud83e\udd29 Effective team composition and building<br>\ud83e\udd29 Functional and effective team support<br>\ud83e\udd29 Communication to make every team member feel engaged<br>\ud83e\udd29 Making sure team members are aware of informal news and the events happening in the organization<br>\ud83e\udd29 Taking care of the conflicts and resolving them<br>\ud83e\udd29 Recognizing the accomplishments and achievements<br>\ud83e\udd29 Providing access to the required information<br>\ud83e\udd29 Defining the mission of the team\u2019s projects and how they are connected to the mission of the organization<br>\ud83e\udd29 Defining the goals that should be achieved<br>\ud83e\udd29 Allocating responsibilities to each member of the team<br>\ud83e\udd29 Taking care of the personal needs of the team members<br>\ud83e\udd29 Conflict resolution<br>\ud83e\udd29 Rewarding the employees<br>\ud83e\udd29 Providing special training to ensure that employees are familiar with communication technology<br>\ud83e\udd29 Coping effectively with different time zones and cultural backgrounds of the team members<br>\ud83e\udd29 Recognizing an early stage of a conflict or a feeling of isolation of a team member<br>\ud83e\udd29 Organizing weekly meetings with each team member to provide feedback<br>\ud83e\udd29 Demonstrating great collaboration skills by leaders\/managers<br>\ud83e\udd29 Ensuring that every member takes part in the organization\u2019s life to avoid feelings of lack of belonging to a group<br>\ud83e\udd29 Providing trust-building team activities<br>\ud83e\udd29 Regular communication between team members<br>\ud83e\udd29 Creating a positive environment and organizational culture<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><\/p>\n<cite><strong>Check<\/strong> also my other post about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodhill.fi\/rocktheremote\/trust-in-virtual-teams-remote-working\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Trust in virtual teams\/remote working<\/strong><\/a>.
