Managing a remote team can be difficult. You need to ensure your remote team collaborates well, onboard new employees so they can meet their fellow team members and you need to ensure that relationships remain strong so that your employees can work together successfully on projects.
This isn’t easy when your employees are all working from different locations. That’s why in 2022, virtual team building events are so important for remote teams.
In fact, according to Gallup research, “virtual team building activities lead to an increase in employee performance rate, claiming 41 percent lower absenteeism and 21 percent higher profitability.”
In this blog we take a quick look at why virtual team building is so important for remote teams and discuss how our brand new virtual team building event, Virtual Switch It Up can benefit your organization!
Why virtual team building is important for remote teams
Virtual team building events are the same as traditional team building events, which focus on bringing your team together to create stronger bonds and improve communication, but instead of in-person or hosted online instead.
In fact, team building is arguably even more important for remote teams (although we would say they are just as important for both!). That’s because trust and transparency is crucial for teams where communication is not in person, and building strong relationships lays the foundation for that.
Benefits of virtual team building for remote teams include:
- Improving employee morale
- Increase employee productivity
- Promote workforce collaboration
- Better onboarding experiences for new team members
- The ability to bring together teams that don’t commonly speak to one another.
- Building a positive workplace culture
- Strengthening relationships among team members
We’ve created a brand-new virtual team building event to ensure your business is able to realize these benefits.
