So many teams are hybrid or fully-remote now. I miss those casual corridor chats to just check in! How do you build genuine relationships with teams or clients you’ve never met in-person?

I swear I'm not anti-social but I really don't miss in-office connections. I feel like working from home gives me enough alone time that I actually have social energy for friends and family who I want to spend time with. When I was fully in-office, I was drained by the end of the week and barely wanted to see anyone on the weekends. My WLB is much better with a remote role.

That’s completely fair, the office life isn’t for everyone.

I still have them, just on our Teams chat! I’ll send a congrats if somebody has just done something, or just a check in and ask how it’s going. Not everyone loves it, and I get it, but some people have said they appreciated it!

Ah brilliant! That’s a good idea

It's really difficult to replicate that kind of camaraderie in remote scenarios. There can be some advantages to working remotely, but I honestly prefer working with the team in one set of offices, if possible. Those corridor chats are very useful in terms of work, besides just being nice in a social sense.

I agree! I find in-person means I can have a conversation with someone much better too and projects get completely way more quicker!

It’s a lot harder but making messages/emails a bit more casual and open can really help to loosen people up and build relationships.

That’s not a bad point! It’s always helps to be nice over messages
