I don't think there's any one (or 10) things that magically make it happen, but all of these help:

- Meet in person as much as possible, especially by bringing remote folks together for an extended (multi-day) trip. That encourages more informal in-person interaction. Plan specifically for non-scheduled time, non-working meals, etc.

- Have a regular one-on-one meeting with your reports, preferably weekly. Set up the structure to always have a planned topic portion and some small talk about life. Sometimes that'll be boring or painful, especially for techies. But the space it provides is extremely important.

- Communicate
