Video calls have been replacing team meetings and all other kinds of chats with colleagues. Since we can’t see each other, the number of online meetings and emails is going up," says business consultant Teresa Hertwig. "Team leaders should also proactively call on employees to communicate openly and, if necessary, say, 'I don’t need to be in this meeting.'" Emails are not enough when working remotelyAccording to Hertwig, writing an email isn’t better than holding a well-structured video conference. Longer video conferences with the entire team, for example, shouldn’t take place more than once a week, if possible.
