As teams continue to stay in a full or part-time remote/hybrid work model, there’s a pressing need to nurture connections and facilitate camaraderie on an ongoing basis. Working from home may have saved some from hellish commutes but it has also led to feelings of isolation, loneliness, and feeling disengaged from their peers and managers. Virtual team-building activities help to foster a more connected group culture and a non-work-related setting to show off one’s personality and sometimes hidden problem-solving talents. Check out some live virtual experiences offered by Beeyonder that’ll ensure your next remote team-building event is a memorable one for all!
