Was tun Sie, wenn Sie ein Gefühl der Zugehörigkeit in einem vielfältigen Remote-Team schaffen möchten?

Al abordar la diversidad en entornos laborales remotos, la creación de un sentido de pertenencia es fundamental. Celebrar las diferencias culturales y promover la inclusión no solo mejora el ambiente laboral, sino que también potencia la creatividad y el rendimiento del equipo. Aquí presento algunas prácticas clave para abrazar la diversidad en empresas incluyendo aquellas con equipos remotos: 1. Establecer la diversidad como uno de los valores core de la compañía. 2. Establecer en la cultura organizacional el código de conducta inclusivo. 3. Organizar sesiones de intercambio cultural. 4. Capacitación en sensibilidad cultural. 5. Mentoría cruzada entre empleados de diferentes orígenes culturales.

While strong skills are essential, it's the right environment that cultivates a true sense of belonging in our diverse remote team. This means creating a space where everyone feels valued, respected, and connected, regardless of background or location. Make resources readily available to everyone irrespective of time zone or location and implement active listening practices. When everyone feels heard and their voices are valued, a stronger sense of connection and belonging naturally takes root.

have relaxation moments with the team where you talk about everything except work. Get to know your team members on an individual level because vulnerability breeds vulnerability. These moments of exchange may seem harmless, but they make a big difference when it comes to fostering closeness and, consequently, a sense of belonging.

Create a collaborative environment where team members are encouraged to collaborate, support each other, and share knowledge and expertise. Provide platforms and tools for seamless collaboration, such as virtual project management software or team collaboration platforms.

To foster a sense of belonging in a diverse remote team, avoid micromanagement and worthless meetings. It is such a pointless approach, that undermines trust and autonomy, and finally leads to frustration and disengagement. Worthless meetings waste time and diminish morale, endangering productivity and team unity. To the contrary, prioritize open communication, empower team members, and celebrate diversity to create an inclusive and supportive environment where everyone feels valued and connected. Last but not least, create a sense of belonging among team members, by setting up virtual lunches, and coffee breaks at different time zones to help remote workers meet each other and come closer!

It can be difficult to give employees a sense of belonging, particularly when there is a very real physical and structural distance. You need to set a clear common objective and unite them around a project that you want to achieve together. There are many digital channels for disseminating and communicating information: newsletter, webinar, intranet, etc. In my previous experience, I noticed that my employees enjoyed reading the press articles in the internal newsletter. To encourage reaction and exchange, you need to choose the right tools and analyse the results. In this case, analysing the open rate of the CTA button to the press article showed me how interested my readers were in this kind of content.
