For example, you can schedule a casual video conference once a week where you and your team can talk about other things outside business matters. This can be an opportunity to bonding. It is also a great chance for you as a leader to check up on your team’s well-being so you know how they are holding up with the situation. Schedules a time in a day where you and your team can have a ‘do not disturb moment’ and not always ‘online’ all day long. During those times, there is no video call allowed unless necessary or very urgent. It gives your team a silent moment so they don’t always on edge anticipating someone video-calling them.

Flexible adjustment like this might appear insignificant but it can do wonder to reduce the stress or fatigue both for you and your team. This will also allow everyone to work on other things more efficiently since they have extra time. If possible, discuss about the ideal setting of video conference with your team. Lifestyle
