When a team member feels excluded from remote decision-making, it's essential to bridge the gap for cohesive collaboration. Here are strategies to foster inclusion:
- Schedule regular check-ins to give everyone a platform to voice their opinions and ideas.
- Use collaborative tools that allow transparent tracking of decisions and contributions.
- Rotate meeting leadership to give each member a chance to guide discussions and decisions.
How do you include all team members in decision-making, especially when working remotely?

Participative management and job rotation in job functions can promote inclusivity in the team activities. There should be effective 2 way channels of communication both online and offline between team members and management to ensure seamless communication flow using technology and communication tools. Presentations in the group should be rotational where everybody is given an opportunity to present ideas and state key challenges faced and also pass any relevant information or suggestions.
