Remote teams can face a number of unique challenges that can impact productivity, communication, and overall team dynamics. Here are five common problems that remote teams may face:

1. Communication difficulties: Remote teams may struggle with maintaining clear and consistent communication, which can lead to confusion and misunderstandings. Lack of face-to-face interaction can make it difficult for team members to read body language and nonverbal cues, and can make it harder to build trust and rapport.

2. Lack of team cohesion: Remote teams may struggle with building a sense of community and team cohesion. Without the opportunity to interact in-person, team members may have a harder time getting to know each other and building relationships.

3. Difficulty in tracking progress and accountability: It can be harder for managers to keep track of what team members are working on and to hold team members accountable for their work when working remotely.

4. Isolation and lack of social interaction: Working remotely can be isolating, leading to feelings of loneliness and disconnection from the team. This can lead to a lack of motivation and a decline in the overall well-being of the employees.

5. Difficulty in coordinating and synchronizing work: With remote teams, it can be harder to coordinate and synchronize work, especially when team members are working in different time zones or have different work schedules. This can lead to delays and missed deadlines.

To overcome these problems, remote teams should focus on building clear communication channels, establish regular check-ins and meetings, establish clear guidelines and protocols, provide the right tools and technology, and encourage team building activities.

Why team buildings need sugar and fiber? 🧁

The best way to make people relax, talk and integrate in meetings is to give them sugar. Same applies to team buildings. We all love to have fun ( ) at team buildings. Why go if otherwise?

However, the most effective team buildings require the integration of serious conversations ( ) and applications to the day-to-day life at work.

That’s why at Access Point we do our best to include “sugar and fiber” at our team buildings and offsite experiences. Lots of laughter with effective applications.

A basic debrief framework after fun and experiential learning activities should include three questions:

✅What happened (recap the activity)?
✅How this relates to our day-to-day?
✅What can we improve from now on?


Tell us. What do you prefer, sugar or fiber?🍪

When the team is aligned and focused on the goals, there is only room for success 💙
