How would you connect your remote workers?
We use Slack, Google Meet and also our Coffee-Breaks to stay in touch with our colleagues. On top we meet in person once in a while.

I'd use planes. Kidding, I use Discord instead of Google Meet, because the quality of the meeting is way higher.
@byalexai Slack and google meet are the best combination I think. Loom is good though for explaining something, only used it for customers until now, not between colleagues.
For day-to-day operations: Google Meet, regular virtual coffee breaks, Slack (highly recommend team huddles!). For after-hours (if that's what you want to do) we did some remote party games, movie screenings or gaming.
@olga_jakubowska1 Thanks for sharing! Wich coffee-break solution do you use?
@marvin_maendle Hi! Tbh we just use Meet for coffee breaks, what I meant was that they are scheduled in our calendars and are happening on a regular basis. In the past I remember experimenting with a virtual space platform, but I can't recall the name and we only used it once or twice, Meet turned out to be more convenient.
To connect remote workers effectively, I'd recommend leveraging a combination of communication tools like Slack for real-time messaging and Zoom for face-to-face meetings, ensuring that everyone stays on the same page and feels part of the team. Additionally, regular virtual team-building activities can foster a sense of community and engagement among remote employees.
What is lacking for remote workers is social interaction & bonding. Since the pandemic, social channels in Slack have been booming for us.
In other words, to connect remote workers we needed a virtual space where like-minded colleagues are paired based on their interests so it would create interest-based communities within the company.
In fact, we are working on something along those lines here at Teamday, so thanks for the question Marvin
@alex_couture good to see that more and more solutions for interaction & bonding are developing.
Will take a look on your product. I'am really passionate about this topic!
At jetsoftpro.com, a software development service, we use various communication tools such as video conferencing, chats, and email to maintain regular contact with remote developers. Usually it's a Slack and Teams. This will help prevent misunderstandings and allow for timely responses to any questions or issues that arise.
I think google meeting is the best option, that can easily help u to stay connected with your workers...
The boodleAI team is 100% remote right now and aside from email I would say there are there tools we use for connectivity, Zoom, Slack and BoodleBox. They allow us to collaborate and continue to innovate.
Loom is SO useful for good async communication - particular for remote teams across multiple timezones
