There are two 'rules of thumb' in this situation to keep in mind.

First, let their behavior be your guide. If they are working (which you can verify by checking your Movers tab and your genealogy reports), be sure to let them know that you are there to assist them as needed, and answer promptly when they do ask for assistance. Celebrate their milestones with an e-card or a brief note congratulating them on their achievements. But if they are not working, there is no need to bombard them with messages. Keep them in your group mailings, and check in with them once in a while (say, every three months) but respect their decision to be inactive. Of course, should that change, they should be welcomed and given all the support and assistance they require.

Secondly, how would you react to the kind of assistance you have in mind? Are you uncomfortable with being contacted with offers of assistance every three days? Do you need a team email sent daily? If YOU are not comfortable with it, more likely than not your team members would not be comfortable with it, either.

The best ways to interact with your team always follow common sense rules- be polite, be friendly and helpful, and be willing to assist whenever it is needed. Your team will follow your lead!
