Try These 5\u00a0Tips"},"content":{"rendered":"<p class=\"graf graf--p\">In the midst of the health crisis, it\u2019s very likely you had to <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/363042\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/363042\">hire (and fire) people remotely<\/a>. More and more employees want to work remotely now, and many companies are happy to oblige.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">According to a <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usebraintrust.com\/knowledge-work-demand-index\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.usebraintrust.com\/knowledge-work-demand-index\">just-released survey<\/a> of more than 800 knowledge workers by freelance marketplace Braintrust, nearly two-thirds of workers said \u201cfreedom of location\u201d is what they now want the most out of their jobs. Eighty-five percent said they would even seriously consider becoming a freelancer to have the freedom to work remotely.<\/p>\n<h1 class=\"graf graf--h3\">The changing world of hybrid work\u00a0offices<\/h1>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Now, with vaccinations increasing and life slowly transitioning back to normal, many companies are returning to the office. Some are creating hybrid work environments where people spend only a few days per week in the office.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Whatever you choose for your company, it\u2019s very likely you\u2019ll be having face-to-face interactions with employees soon if you\u2019re not doing so already. If you haven\u2019t met your remote hires at all yet, and you have the opportunity to do so, you should probably make it happen as soon as possible. Assuming people are comfortable being indoors with others, it is important to establish in-person rapport.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Knowing you in a context other than just another Zoom call will improve loyalty. It can even help employees want to do better work for you. When you do finally meet your remote hires, here\u2019s how to capitalize on that time for the best possible professional outcome.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"graf graf--h3\">1. Acknowledge the awkwardness<\/h2>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Let\u2019s face it\u200a\u2014\u200abeing part of a team of people you\u2019ve never met, especially when they already know each other, can be pretty awkward. No matter how hard you may have worked to establish <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/293628\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/293628\">company culture<\/a> remotely, it\u2019s simply not the same as being in person. Remote hires might have been part of your team for months or even a year without ever meeting you or any of their coworkers. They might know everyone on a surface level, but they don\u2019t know how tall their team members are, how they carry themselves, or what they eat for lunch every day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">There\u2019s no way around the fact that it\u2019s <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/344910\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/344910\">intimidating<\/a> to meet your boss for the first time after an extended period of time working together remotely. By talking about it and clearing the air, your employees will feel more comfortable opening up about how they\u2019re feeling in the midst of the transition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">It\u2019s best to get this out of the way quickly so nobody gets caught up in the discomfort. Then you can move straight into getting to know each other and integrating your remote team members into the office community.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"graf graf--h3\">2. Have activities in place to break the\u00a0ice<\/h2>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">We all know that ice breakers can be great for team building and bonding, especially when some employees <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/336539\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/336539\">don\u2019t know anyone<\/a>. Having some structured activities and topics to go through will ensure that you\u2019re not in charge of running the entire conversation. It will also make sure that gregarious and shy folks alike will all be answering the same question and no one employee will end up dominating the conversation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">The best thing about ice breakers is that they eliminate that pesky, aforementioned awkwardness by making sure everybody gets a turn to speak. This is especially important if you\u2019re getting together with a team. However, it can be helpful in one-on-one and two-on-one settings as well.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"graf graf--h3\">3. Be appreciative<\/h2>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Working from home has been hard, especially for people with other obligations like children or elderly live-in parents. No matter how many times you may have thanked your employees on Slack or Zoom, when you meet them in person make sure to look them in the eyes and voice your appreciation for all their hard work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">This may seem small, especially if you have made it a point to thank them remotely, but it will go a long way. Expressing your appreciation in person will create a sense of connection and camaraderie that will incentivize continued hard work. Employees want to know the sacrifices they have made to produce quality work for you during such a difficult time are worthwhile.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"graf graf--h3\">4. Be a\u00a0mentor<\/h2>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">It\u2019s important to remember that you are most likely the more experienced one\u200a\u2014\u200aboth with your particular <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/370307\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/370307\">office environment<\/a> and office environments in general when it comes to young, new hires. They are probably much more nervous than you are about making a good impression.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Make sure to let all of your employees know you\u2019re there to guide and support them in the transition back to in-person work. If they know you as a friendly face around the office moving forward, you\u2019ll establish trust and comfort. This will go a long way toward creating a positive work environment.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"graf graf--h3\">5. Be\u00a0yourself<\/h2>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">When meeting new people for the first time, many feel the need to act impressive or go into people-pleasing mode. This is especially true as we re-integrate into social settings. After a full year with very few in-person interactions, many people feel they lack <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/370881\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/370881\">confidence<\/a> in their social skills.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">While the instinct to act in a certain way to make people like you is understandable in everyday social life, it can do more harm than good in the office. Remember, you\u2019ll be spending a lot more time with these people moving forward. There\u2019s no need to be anyone other than you, and people will appreciate you for it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\"><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--p-strong\"><em class=\"markup--em markup--p-em\">Thanks for reading!
