Here is how you can connect with more colleagues while working from home

As we are all leading yet another month working from home due to the pandemic, most of us have come to terms with working our way out through screens - mobile phones, laptops, to name a few. Of course, it's inconvenient sometimes to coordinate with our coworkers and clients virtually, but left with no other choice, this is what we all have to do to keep things going. However, since we don't really have any other option but to deal with this 'new normal', might as well better our skills at making thoughtful relationships virtually with our colleagues and clients, right? How do you do that? This is how:

First and foremost, let people know how and why to connect with you. It is very essential for your colleagues to know what role you play in the company, what your skills, hobbies, interests are in order for them to know when and how they can get in contact with you. It is at this time when connection and relationships matter the most. Put your profiles out there on social networking sites to meet more like-minded people in your profession and be more strategic towards your position, the details and highlights of your work. You must even mention what experiences and qualifications you have so that it can be an influence on the audience.

One of the greatest ways to connect well with new professionals is by offering you time, skills and expertise to them. If there's something unique about you that you can offer to your colleagues, voice it out. See if people need your assistance to bring teams together virtually. Serve to connect the community.

Live events and conferences are of course, not possible. Although, conversations are still crucial online to make your work function smoothly. Try having conference call discussions with your teammates over the week's goal or with your clients to understand their requirements. It could also be a rather informal discussion with your coworkers after office hours to get to know them better. Make sure you're staying in touch with your professionals in either and all ways possible.

There are so many online platforms that offer professional learnings. You can indulge in these learnings to better your professional knowledge with your colleagues as well. Virtual coaching programs will help you go a long way in your field of expertise. These experiences will help you get better at your skills and offer more to your workmates.
