CREATE REMOTE ENGAGEMENT AT WORK 🚀

Creating engagement in remote work isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s essential for building strong teams and successful projects. Whether you’re leading a team or building a community, the right techniques and tools can transform your remote interactions into dynamic, engaging experiences.

🔥 TECHNIQUES TO BOOST ENGAGEMENT

Engagement starts with how you facilitate interactions. As I learn recently earing Jan Keck the ice shouldn't be broken when people start to collaborate, we just have to find ways to connect each other, using proven techniques to ensure your remote sessions are more than just another video call.

Here are some techniques to make your remote great :

👉 Connect : as Rachel Davis would probably do, start with activities that encourage the collaboration with open and lively discussions.

👉 Serious Games : Introduce game elements to tackle complex problems creatively to engage with fresh perspectives.

👉 Facilitation : Lead with purpose. Guiding discussions with clear objectives helps participants stay focused and feel valued.

🛠️ TOOLS TO ENHANCE YOUR REMOTE EXPERIENCE

The right tools can make a world of difference in how you engage with your remote team or audience. If you still think that remote necessarily goes through Teams or Zoom, this one's for you.

Here’s what I use :

👉 Miro : the best collaborative whiteboard platform that’s perfect for brainstorming, mapping processes or ideas clustering in real time.

👉 Butter 🧈 : A platform designed to make your remote experience more interactive, with tools for polling, breakouts, and more.

👉 Luma : Not just for hosting events, but also for managing registrations, integrating with calendars, and keeping everything organized.

👉 Elgato Stream Deck & OBS : Hardware and software that allow you to manage your streams and virtual events like a pro. As Said Saddouk if you're shy.

🔥 WHY ENGAGEMENT MATTERS

My good friend Nina Pozderec probably says that engagement isn’t just about keeping people entertained. It’s about creating connections, fostering collaboration, and ensuring everyone’s voice is heard. In a remote setting, where physical cues are missing, these techniques and tools bridge the gap, making your remote interactions more meaningful and productive.
