What paths to communication and approval are in place before adding them to a web page?<\/li><\/ul><ul><li><strong>Which tools are essential to your web design team\u2019s success?<\/strong> This kind of question can help you decide or narrow your existing tech stack.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li><strong>What are each team member\u2019s responsibilities, schedule, and work capacity?<\/strong> These three areas can be highly affected by remote work, and it\u2019s crucial that this information can be understood by all team members and even accessible at a glance.<\/li><\/ul><p>There are surely more questions you can ask and assess.

Meetings and syncs present an opportunity to stretch teammates\u2019 imagination and develop essential systems for success.<\/p><p>How can this be achieved without meeting rooms, whiteboards, and the comfort of meeting face to face? Here are a few things to keep in mind:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Include the right people, not all the people<\/strong>. If your team or organization has gone into a remote or hybrid work environment, the number of hours committed to meetings has surely increased for everyone. Be strategic and mindful about who needs to be in an actual meeting vs. who you can share in-context updates with on your dedicated workflow platform.\u00a0<\/li><\/ul><ul><li><strong>Always have a clear agenda, even for brainstorming sessions<\/strong>. Time is even more of the essence with the harsh reality of <a href=\"https:\/\/news.stanford.edu\/2021\/02\/23\/four-causes-zoom-fatigue-solutions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cZoom fatigue<\/a>.\u201d As a meeting organizer, make sure you include a brief agenda with your meeting invite and stick to it during the meeting. It will help you quickly \u201cput a pin\u201d in ideas that come up in the meeting but should be addressed at another time.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li><strong>Save video calls for the most important stuff<\/strong>. Before you schedule another status update meeting, consider if you could best communicate it on another platform, like a chat or updates thread where everyone can see it. Use meetings for more complex things, like explaining a new process or solving problems.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li><strong>Consider the length and frequency of your standup meetings<\/strong>. While having daily standup meetings might be the norm or traditional, think about what\u2019s best for your team. For example, Caitlin Wagner, a Senior Design Manager at InVision, said her team decided to shake things up, \u201c&#8230;Instead the team established a cadence of 30-minute standups on Monday\/Wednesday, one-hour design critiques on Tuesday\/Thursday, and a \u201chappy half-hour\u201d on Fridays to talk about decidedly non-work related topics.\u201d<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1a64281 elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"1a64281\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"keep-culture-a-priority\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e3ce410 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e3ce410\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">3.

As a remote design manager, you have the opportunity to be an extension of that as you manage your team. A few ways to promote a positive remote work culture are:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Host workshops and hackathons<\/strong>. It\u2019s important to schedule time for sessions outside of routine work to help your team brush up on new skills, troubleshoot, or even just dedicate time to a project or initiative that\u2019s been on the backburner for a while. To make them more engaging, you could invite a guest lecturer or have one of the team members plan the sessions. These activities will also reflect your organization\u2019s interest in the professional and personal development of its employees.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li><strong>Make top-notch virtual onboarding<\/strong>. Joining a new team remotely can sometimes leave new hires feeling uncomfortable, out of the loop, or overwhelmed. Here are six best practices for excellent virtual onboarding:<ul><li><strong>Start the onboarding experience before Day 1<\/strong>. It\u2019s essential to make your new hires feel welcome before they \u201clog in\u201d for the first time. Consider sending a welcome packet with materials like company handbooks, a first look at their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoomshift.com\/blog\/employee-onboarding-checklist\/\">onboarding plan<\/a>, and company swag.<\/li><li><strong>Have a prepared onboarding schedule and resource guide<\/strong>. Make new hires\u2019 first week or two as smooth as possible with a plan that lays it all out for them, who they will meet, important information, and resources they should start becoming familiar with. At monday.com, each new hire has a special onboarding board with these kinds of materials.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2a590ee elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2a590ee\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"566\" src=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/f=auto,w=768,h=566\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Simple-board_Sales-pipeline-768x566.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-77075\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/f=auto,w=768\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Simple-board_Sales-pipeline-768x566.jpg 768w, https:\/\/elementor.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/f=auto,w=300\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Simple-board_Sales-pipeline-300x221.jpg 300w, https:\/\/elementor.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/f=auto,w=1024\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Simple-board_Sales-pipeline-1024x754.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/elementor.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/f=auto,w=1536\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Simple-board_Sales-pipeline-1536x1131.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/elementor.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/f=auto,w=2048\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Simple-board_Sales-pipeline-2048x1508.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9c4c77e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9c4c77e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><ul><li><strong>Assign a \u201cbuddy.\u201d <\/strong>Assigning a helpful colleague who is not a direct manager accomplishes two things at once\u2014the new hire gets help with in-and-outs related to work and otherwise and establishes a connection on their team right away. monday.com also has designated buddies for all new hires.\u00a0<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><ul><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><ul><li><strong>Incorporate them right away with a simple task.<\/strong> One of the main stressors new hires can have is the feeling that they don\u2019t know what to work on in addition to their reading materials and introductory meetings.

Communication breakdowns and work scheduling discrepancies can cause real headaches. Here are a few recommendations:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Keep communication open. <\/strong>Make it known to your teammates or reports that you are available for concerns and guidance while also setting expectations about what you can offer and when the appropriate times and methods are for that. For example, concerns about professional development during remote work shouldn\u2019t be a Slack chat.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li><strong>Increase employee recognition.<\/strong> With less or zero office time and concerns for email overload, recognizing employees might be something that gets pushed aside for some remote teams. We encourage you to find creative ways to approach this, whether it\u2019s dedicating a Slack channel to celebrations and recognitions or creating a newsletter. Letting employees know they are valued goes a long way.\u00a0<\/li><\/ul><ul><li><strong>Be a champion for work-life balance.<\/strong> Be sure to make it known that your team\u2019s work-life balance is understood and a priority. You can lead by example when it comes to making your own schedule and being flexible to those of others.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li><strong>Avoid micromanaging.<\/strong> Managing well remotely requires thoughtful planning and trust.
