Abstract:
The development of the Covid-19 pandemic brought organisations the necessity to seek new strategies to retain employees’ trust, empowerment, collaboration, and sense of loyalty to the company. Adaptive, durable, engaging, yet applicable in a remote environment were narrowly few of the requirements needed for this strategy to help successfully manage co-located teams, their progress, continuous learning, and sustain the motivation and devotion in different personalities within the group. This paper presents how we leveraged collaborative software tools using the shift to virtual work as a unique learning opportunity. Our results exhibit that remote teamwork entails several components to success: a personal and professional sense of belonging, sharing of knowledge and daily life content, and development of social networking at work as the central pillar to staying connected with co-workers. Work after pandemic and how the hybrid model of work will affect all organisations are some of the future research directions raised.
