You may be hearing a lot about virtual team building. In a time when staying socially distant is important not only for the health of your family but for others. How do you plan on staying connected in the office while still maintaining your safety?
One innovative way people have remained safe and connected is by participating in virtual team building events. You may be wondering, what is a virtual team building event?
Virtual team building is not new and thanks to COVID more organizations and individuals are starting to see the benefits of online organizing. Basically, these events hold a similar purpose to traditional team building, the main difference is where these events are hosted.
Why is Virtual Team Building Important?
Why is virtual team building important? Well, it allows groups to stay connected through mediated spaces like Zoom, Google Hangouts, and FaceTime. While individuals are not in the same tangible space these online alternatives allow groups to feel connected while being apart.
Research finds that team building benefits the organization and individual employees, while it increases morale company-wide. As our workplaces continue to adjust to COVID, we ask you to think of how you can stay connected through the holidays. Whether you are looking to maintain traditions at the office or with friends. Stay connected is important especially since so many continue to feel isolated.
