It is all too easy for mobile workers to feel isolated, and for that isolation to turn into disengagement and chronic low morale. Help the team build relationships by:

  • Engaging in small talk before and after a meeting
  • Having meetings in person when possible
  • Holding social events (in person or virtual)
  • Making communication easy by providing instant messaging applications with video chat
  • Creating social spaces for people to hang out in
  • Relying on each other for information and help, and using you (as the team leader) as a last resort
