I’ve worked remotely for almost a decade and have taken some notes on this topic. My three big suggestions are: - Have in-person meet-ups as often as possible. It can be at an industry conference or just having everyone visit the same city for a weekend. Working with someone online is very different from meeting them in real life. - Add more “fun channels” to Slack, but don’t mandate participation. It should be easy for people to share details about their everyday life without feeling awkward about it. This is what my street looks like, this is what I ate for dinner, here’s what I did last weekend, etc. However, don’t force people to do this or it will quickly build resentment. - Over-communicate what the company’s plans are, what the founders’ opinions are, the future roadmap, your values, etc. This stuff is mostly obvious when working in-person but can be completely unknown if you’ve only worked with people remotely.
