Creating Meaningful Relationships Between Remote Team Members With a seemingly permanent shift towards remote work, how do you build trust?

Gallup found that employees who have a best friend at work are more engaged.

"Our research has repeatedly shown a concrete link between having a best friend at work and the amount of effort employees expend in their job. For example, women who strongly agree they have a best friend at work are more than twice as likely to be engaged (63%) compared with the women who say otherwise (29%)" ~ Gallup

This is a controversial finding, and employees shouldn't be forcing people to become best friends at work. Not everyone at work is looking to make friends.
