Back in the "before times," when companies had everyone in the office, there were people in charge of employee happiness, engagement, etc. They wanted people to have fun while letting them do their best work. There were in-person meals, games, happy hours, and more. Knowledge work isn't meant to be mundane. When people are enjoying themselves, they'll enjoy their work more as well. The same strategies must be put into place for remote employees. Building healthy asynchronous collaboration models for remote teams requires just as much planning, effort, and execution as it did before. However, the focus will likely be less on "fun" and more on helping your team feel connected, informed, and focused.
