Building Remote Culture

Hi Dr. Jim,

What are some more ways to build culture when working remotely besides team meetings?

-Sandy*

Hi Sandy.

My definition of culture is the series of behaviors that are going on within a team or within a company. Now, we have the definition of a culture, but then we have the reality in terms of the actual behaviors. One of the things I would do is ask people to send each other, maybe to a central place everyone can access: In one sentence please describe our culture. Another thing is to ask people every once in a while, during an online meeting or in a chat, to shoot out to the rest of the team members a win they've had in the last week. Or what's a challenge they are having that they would like help with. It's the interactions of people sharing and connecting with each other that's really important.
