@micheal_andeson69 Virtual water cooler thing is something unique. Would like to learn more about it...
@qudsia_ali from my experience it's better to make such team buildings at least once per two months. For our team, we use different online games and polls)
What about you? Do u have such events?
@shakhmetava_natallia We have a society in our company whose responsibility is to organize recreational events monthly.
Great list Qudsia!
I would add other 4 points:
6. adopt a remote work routine that works
7. facilitate the remote work of your teammates
8. communicate asynchronously
9. build a trusting culture by starting measuring results instead of monitoring people
I usually share more details each saturday in a free newsletter named "The Saturday remoteR".

@mrgab Great. I agree with all your points. Your site is pretty neat and UI is very attractive. Nicely done 👍
Communication and process driven tasks are the key to ensuring remote teams can collaborate effectively
If it's a globally-distributed remote team, it's important that team members rotate on taking meetings outside their work hours (so one person doesn't routinely do remote meets in their eve or early morning).
Content Creation
The best way to engage with audience and influence revenue is through content creation on a great extent which specific strategies on content nature.

Macrometa has been a remote-first company for the last five years, with employees in 16 countries. Yes, we were remote-first long before Covid. I built remote teams from the ground up. Focus on effectiveness (instead of efficiency). Focus on building trust and relationships between team members and also between the team & manager. The rest of the things will fall into place.

In my opinion productivity and efficiency at work depend too much on individual personalities and working styles to be able to - or to want to - create a magic recipe to improve remote team collaboration. Even the more with remote work, individual preferences & processes have been taking up more importance.
Each one works much more freely in the way that suits them best. For example, in my team some people work better when they are online all the time on a group chat, and some others need to cut off for hours in order to produce deep work. The right tool for one won't be the best for the other, and working times are even the more shuffled that we're working around the globe...
I agree with your tips, mostly, but want to stress out that every single 1-to-1 and group co-worker collaboration needs, to be optimal, to be designed according to the individuals constituting it.
Solid tips.
Some of those required to be expanded up such as the empowering employees tip.
Point 2 also applies here, because if you have a clear agenda for the meeting which is communicated prior to the meeting to all attending parties, everyone will have a clear view as to what to expect.
Updates and progress reports should also be briefly mentioned to encourage employees and allow them to feel part of the team and progress.
6. Communicate a lot, I'd add.
The more you talk, the more relaxed people will be when it comes to talking about their needs/problems.
