The CK Daily – Team Building in a Remote Workplace
Hello all!
In a mainly remote workplace, connecting with my team can be a challenge at times. As I shifted from a hybrid schedule into the world of virtual meetings, I wanted to break the ice and build a relationship with my team. I quickly learned the importance of weekly meetings with interactive activities. When starting team meetings with team-building activities, I found that I was able to get a bit more interaction from my remote members. We played different games like virtual jeopardy, pictionary, and two truths and a lie.
Over time, this practice slowly washed away in my weekly meetings. Lately, it’s become clear that the activities we had embraced were more than just a break in our day, it was a vital part of building a resilient team so I will be bringing this practice back.
Reflecting on this experience, I’m reminded of the significance of these interactions before diving into the business side of the meetings. Engaging our remote team allows us to nurture our connections with our teams even though it can be challenging in a remote environment.
In the spirit of shared learning, do any of you have any team-building techniques that helped you engage with your team in spite of the challenges of remote work?
