Remote Team Check

What gets lost when a team works apart?

Small things that add up: the chat after a meeting where the real decision happened, the colleague in the office who heard first, the meeting at 7pm for someone three time zones away. None of them is dramatic. Together they decide whether a remote team feels like one team.

Take Remote Team Check: twelve questions, about four minutes. Answer for the last month.

What does the test look at?

Four areas, three questions each:

• Connection. Whether people know each other beyond the work, and everyone gets heard.
• Clarity. Whether everyone knows what’s happening, at the same time.
• Fairness between remote and office. Whether being in the room still gets people news or chances first.
• Overlap time. Whether schedules leave work waiting, or people working late.

What do I get at the end?

A remote team score out of 100 and the two areas where distance gets in the way most, each with one move, such as having everyone join hybrid meetings from their own screen. The bands are “Working well apart” (70 and above), “Some gaps” (40 to 69) and “Distance is getting in the way” (below 40).

Remote Team Check is built for your team to answer anonymously. Team mode is coming. For now, you rate it yourself.

How is it worked out?

Each answer runs from 1 (never) to 5 (always). Five of the twelve questions describe a healthy habit, such as “We have agreed hours when everyone is available”, and are flipped before scoring. Each area’s average shows how much distance costs there; the overall average becomes the score.

The questions, areas, bands and advice are a draft written with AI and are waiting for a coach’s review. Treat the result as a mirror, not a verdict.
