Create an Ecosystem for Connection
In virtual meetings unstructured small-talk connection time typically doesn’t happen. People log in, the meeting leaders wait in silence until the clock indicates it’s time to start, and then the meeting begins. It may sound efficient, but it’s not very welcoming. In a virtual meeting space, you can’t have that spontaneous chat at the coffee station or as you take your seat. Without those warm-up conversations, participants can feel isolated.
