Remote work is here to stay, but it comes with unique challenges. Based on insights from 500+ remote teams using Workblox, here are the collaboration practices that work.

Over-Communicate by Default

In remote settings, context is easily lost. Successful teams document decisions, share progress updates proactively, and default to transparency. Use Workblox's activity feeds to keep everyone in the loop.

Establish Clear Norms

When will you be available? How quickly should people respond to messages? What warrants a meeting vs. an async update? Define these norms early and revisit them regularly.

Use Async Communication Effectively

Not everything needs a meeting. Use Workblox's commenting, @mentions, and status updates to communicate asynchronously. This respects people's time and creates a searchable record.

Create Opportunities for Connection

Remote work can feel isolating. Schedule virtual coffee chats, celebrate wins publicly, and use Workblox's team spaces to maintain social connections.

Measure What Matters

Focus on outcomes, not activity. Use Workblox's analytics to track progress on goals rather than monitoring online status. Trust your team to manage their time.

Remote collaboration is a skill that improves with practice. Use these best practices as a starting point, and adapt them to your team's unique needs.
