1. Let a remote worker lead a meeting.
2. Fly in a remote worker once or twice a year for an offsite or company social event.
3. Use video conferencing so remote workers can put faces to voices.
4. Form friendships with remote workers – reach out to say “Hi” and ask about their weekend. A simple “water cooler chat” goes a long way in forming bonds with co-workers even if it is over Skype.
Remembering that your remote worker is a human being who, like all of us, just want to belong will go a long way in retaining your remote workforce.
