Remote work changes a lot about how we connect, but it doesn’t change the fact that relationships are still the foundation of successful working relationships.
Whether it’s a coworker you’ve never met in person or a client you only see on a Zoom call, the effort to build a real relationship still has to be intentional.
At VIVO, we intentionally set aside time to build those relationships:
- Schedule time that isn’t about work. A virtual coffee, a casual check-in, or a team lunch over video.
- Make people feel involved. Loop coworkers into conversations early. Update clients before they have to ask.
- Learn something together. Whether it’s a shared training, a workshop, or even just swapping a book recommendation.
Remote or not, relationships are still built by being intentional over time. Watch our full video for our thoughts on more ways to navigate remote relationship-building!
