One of the unique challenges that remote work surfaces, is how to keep up effective internal communication with all employees, regardless of their physical distance and location. In this article, we'll explore the importance of communication as well as provide some practical strategies to enhance it.

It must be clear, which communication channels are used for what purpose, while leveraging collaboration tools that enable working together in-real time and if needed, be trained.
