She understands the perks but also some of the challenges of long-term <span id=\"urn:enhancement-a1ebda1a\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">remote work<\/span> all too well.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-do-teams-stay-engaged-when-everyone-is-remote\">How do teams stay engaged when everyone is remote?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Even with such positive <span id=\"urn:enhancement-139c4fa1\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">experiences<\/span>, Moran will still attest that staying <span id=\"urn:enhancement-b69907a4\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">engaged<\/span> with projects, with your <span id=\"urn:enhancement-cc09d8ae\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">team<\/span> and with the <span id=\"urn:enhancement-429aaac\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">company<\/span> as a whole is the most challenging part of working remotely: for staff and <span id=\"urn:enhancement-2c1a73df\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">employers<\/span>.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>How is it that remote <span id=\"urn:enhancement-809210c5\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">workers<\/span> stay in touch with the <span id=\"urn:enhancement-52948b0f\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">company<\/span> and with their <span id=\"urn:enhancement-18ddd616\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">team<\/span> lead or manager?<\/strong> This does remain a challenge, not only on an <span id=\"urn:enhancement-2fb7159b\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">engagement<\/span> level but also on a level where people still feel part of a <span id=\"urn:enhancement-ce12344f\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">team<\/span>.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It can be tricky to ensure every <span id=\"urn:enhancement-2705f45b\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">team<\/span> member feels connected. According to Moran, this is harder in a remote role. However, there is a lot of value to be gained from regularly scheduled <span id=\"urn:enhancement-fee0d39\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">meetings<\/span>:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&#8220;When you do <span id=\"urn:enhancement-8c0dc00d\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">home<\/span>-office, it usually takes some adjusting. So for me, what works is joining a weekly call. It originally started as a one time call, but is now <strong>a weekly opportunity for just an informal talk<\/strong> about where I am, and the details of my work. It helps me to feel more comfortable with the project and my progress.&#8221;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In <span id=\"urn:enhancement-859a6088\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">teams<\/span> where <a class=\"ek-link ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/video\/making-remote-work-work\/\">home-office<\/a> is the exception, not the rule, a lot of work is done in <span id=\"urn:enhancement-63007558\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">collaboration<\/span>, and people know each other well. A huge part of distributed teams&#8217; success is to maintain the team spirit and collective focus and morale for the task at hand. According to Moran, this is quite simple: &#8220;Usually, you have <strong><span id=\"urn:enhancement-70049974\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">digital<\/span> happy hours<\/strong> with also informal calls where we can talk freely about whatever. And we have some social games.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-about-onboarding-and-training-for-remote-work\">What about onboarding and training for remote work?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span id=\"urn:enhancement-48fe7e67\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">Training<\/span> and onboarding can be a challenge for <a class=\"ek-link ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/articles\/stories\/covid19-developers-remote-work\/\">remote teams<\/a>, especially those without documentation. <span id=\"urn:enhancement-c0277d07\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">Knowledge<\/span> which is acquired through informal chats and passed down through <span id=\"urn:enhancement-efe7c60c\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">teams<\/span> verbally can be lost.\u00a0 One option for <strong>fully-remote <span id=\"urn:enhancement-b5854fcd\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">teams<\/span> is a hybrid approach<\/strong> to team onboarding and <span id=\"urn:enhancement-b484fe76\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">training<\/span>.

It&#8217;s very important when you work like this that you have everything documented. So when someone joins, you just go over the documentation and follow the on-boarding process. Before COVID, I took a flight to where my manager was located, and I was with him for one week so if I needed any help, they were there to help me.&#8221;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-do-you-stay-motivated\">How do you stay motivated?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>There&#8217;s something to be said about the fridge or the washing machine at <span id=\"urn:enhancement-e054198b\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">home<\/span> being a distraction, but the same can be said about distractions in the office. So the crucial question remains, <a class=\"ek-link ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/dev-hub\/backend-dev\/developers-remote-work\/\">how do you stay motivated<\/a> when you&#8217;re at <span id=\"urn:enhancement-3b9004d5\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">home<\/span> or <span id=\"urn:enhancement-30039fda\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">travelling<\/span> as many <span id=\"urn:enhancement-ebcce9fa\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">digital<\/span> nomads do? For Moran, the answer is focusing on the benefits such as the time is saved in not having to commute.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&#8220;Of course, when you first work from <span id=\"urn:enhancement-5e992b20\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">home<\/span>, you have distractions, but you learn how to work, how to do it correctly. And when you get used to it? I mean, you save so much time!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Self-discipline<\/strong> and maintaining a strict or regular work schedule is also key to staying on task and maintaining healthy work-life balance.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-are-there-any-tools-you-recommend-that-remote-workers-should-use\">Are there any tools you recommend that remote workers\u00a0 should use?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>No surprises here, Slack and Zoom are Moran\u2019s top picks.
