How to be in touch with a team in a pandemic situation?

Having a human connection with a team across different timezones can be tricky. I think there are some lessons we can learn from social media where meaning conversations can still happen even if they are async. Creating shared experiences is one way to help build bonds within the team. It can be as simple as "bagel day" where each person shares a photo of them enjoying a bagel. Team members can have the feeling of a shared experience without having to be in the same space or same timezone.

We schedule a morning call for 15 minutes daily - It is similar to daily office standups. It helps us get in sync and discuss targets for the days. The entire team is motivated for the day.

By planning daily-call routines I guess. This is what we do :)

keep talking each other, pandemic situation is not the end of world.

You can chat using Google tool and you can increase the amount of online communication.

Amazing

There are so many awesome ways beyond dreaded daily Zoom meetings! We created, and have been using, a company channel in my firm. We initially kind of made it for ourselves to be honest, but it snowballed and so we made it public for our users too: https://www.fugo.ai/use-cases/co... We have also been using 'Donut time' on Slack which is pretty fun: https://slack.com/apps/A11MJ51SR... Another fav of mine for sure is https://timezone.io - super handy when you have a globally disbursed team! Hope that helps
