Managing Remote Teams in Organisations: Best Practices for Effective Collaboration and Communication

Abstract

This literature review explores best practices for managing remote teams in organizations. With the rise of remote work, effective collaboration and communication have become increasingly important to maintain team cohesion and productivity. The study also discusses the benefits and challenges of remote work and provides practical strategies for effective communication and collaboration. The best practices include using technology tools for communication and collaboration, establishing clear expectations and guidelines for remote work, providing regular feedback and recognition, promoting social interaction among team members, and fostering a culture of trust and accountability. Promoting social interaction among remote team members can help to build rapport and create a sense of team cohesion. Virtual team-building activities and social events can help to foster connections among team members who may not have the opportunity to meet face-to-face. Finally, creating a culture of trust and accountability is critical for remote teams. This can include setting clear goals and expectations, providing opportunities for training and development, and establishing systems for measuring and reporting progress.
