5 Signs Your Remote
Team is
Communicating
Ineffectively
Working styles and environments across the
globe have undergone a major transformation
over the past year. Most businesses now
operate on the work-from-home model, a
convenient and cost-effective alternative to
the traditional mode of working.
However, the remote working model comes
with its own set of limitations. One of the
major challenges that businesses face is
ineffective communication between team
members.
Here are a few signs that may mean your team
is communicating ineffectively.
Low engagement during
meetings
#1
If your team members don’t contribute
enough during online team meetings, it
can be a sign of inadequate
communication. Thus, it is important to
look for ways to engage everyone and
encourage them to speak up.
You can even ask questions during
meetings to amp up interaction between
various team members.
Communication gap between
employees
#2
Communication gap is when the
recipient does not understand the
meaning intended by the speaker.
As a leader, you should try to bridge
such gaps and encourage your
employees to reach out to you if they
ever have any doubts or queries.
Miscommunications are
abundant
#3
It's obvious that while working
remotely the receiver may
misinterpret a written message as
the tone in which it is intended
cannot be properly communicated.
You can eliminate this issue by
connecting with your employees over
an audio or video call and keep
conversations clear.
No meeting
structure
#4
If you don’t have an effective meeting
plan, then team communication will
not be as efficient as it can be. Having
an agenda will keep you and your
team on track.
Send the schedule prior to the
meeting and make sure everyone is
in the loop. This will help employees
stay prepared and partake in the
conversation.
Redoing the
work
#5
If you often find yourself redoing your
team's work then it means that you
haven’t clearly defined their tasks and
responsibilities. Additionally, this also
means that there was a lack of
communication from their side as
well.
Clearly outlining tasks and duties will
add efficiency to your operations.
Keeping an eye on the points that have been
mentioned can help you diagnose any communication
issues.

collaboration techniques on
