Remote work offers many benefits, but the lack of community can cause some workers to feel isolated and lonely. If you manage remote employees, take these steps to combat loneliness on your team. 

Show recognition. Be proactive about celebrating people’s personal and professional wins. This could take the form of writing individual thank-you notes or scheduling team-wide employee-appreciation events. Fostering a culture of gratitude and appreciation will help your team feel more connected, even at a distance. 

Support career advancement. If your employees feel you're invested in their growth, they're more likely to be engaged and less lonely at work. You might look for opportunities to make career development a team sport. Scheduling monthly lunch-and-learns, starting a peer mentorship program, or bringing in public speakers are small ways to foster communal growth. 

Model open and honest communication. Don't be shy about discussing your interests and life outside of work. If you bring your whole self to work, others on your team may follow suit, leading to more authentic relationships and deeper bonds.
