2. Video Hangouts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Video hangouts are a great way to increase productivity and boost morale in remote team building activities. Conducting virtual fun activities for employees over video chat can help your team to feel more connected and motivated. A few great options are playing virtual trivia, hosting a virtual game night, having virtual show-and-tells, and participating in group fitness classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Game nights are great for letting your team have a little fun together. Trivia games can challenge team members to learn more about each other and foster collaboration. Show-and-tells can be used to show off hobbies, artwork, and projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Incorporating a fitness class into your team’s video hangouts using a free conference call<\/a> can be a great way for team members to connect and bond over a shared activity. Your remote team can stay engaged, productive, and motivated with these activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Quarterly Check-in<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Organizing quarterly check-ins for your remote team is key to boosting productivity and team cohesion. These check-ins offer the opportunity to assess important metrics, touch base with team members, and ensure everyone is on track with their goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Encourage remote team members to participate in virtual surveys, polls, or writing sessions. This can make a remote team dynamic feel more cohesive and will help to bolster morale and motivation. As a result, team members can work together towards achieving their goals with higher levels of engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Monthly Team-Building Gifts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Monthly team building gifts can be a great way to boost productivity amongst your remote team. They can encourage creative thinking, collaboration, trust, and productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider a range of activities that will strengthen connections and increase morale. Organize monthly lunch meetings with an assigned peer who will present an idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your remote team can reach new heights with monthly teambuilding activities and gifts. Provide each member with an informal questionnaire to gauge their level of comfort and productivity. Gift boxes can reinforce their feedback and show appreciation for their hard work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
