A sound team — remote or in-person — makes all the difference in success in the business world. A united company culture increases productivity and a collective sense of achievement when things go well. When things don’t go well, a good, solid team will head back to the drawing board and try, try again.

Building a solid team dynamic is one of the most valuable investments employers can make in the company. Engaging, beneficial team-building activities, that have employee buy-in comes with endless benefits. 

Our New Normal

Companies have recognized the value of team-building retreats and workshops, and budgets have prioritized this over the last 30 years. But the pandemic threw a spanner in the works, making it a challenge to get together and participate in fun, valuable team-building events.

Fortunately, we have the tech on our side, and if it is good enough for remote working to keep the company going, there is no reason it can’t be good enough for team-building. Creative virtual team building ideas are the way forward.

Rockoly offers remote online cooking classes, interactive workshops, and a true team-building experience for all. Professional chefs use live-streaming and video-conferencing tools to facilitate employees as they create enticing, delicious meals. (P.S. ingredients are delivered to all team members, no matter where they are in the world, too!)

Food has been bonding humans since the dawn of time, so it is a no-brainer that it is a fantastic tool for team-building.

But what else is out there? Plenty of online workshops and activities have evolved to accommodate the new remote way of life. These virtual team building ideas will keep your company connections strong for many years to come.

Awesome Online Team-Building Activities for Your Company

War of the Wizards

This unique and engaging virtual team-building activity features a live, 90-minute game with a series of activities such as puzzles, world-building, and escape rooms.

Escape to a fantasy world reminiscent of Lord of the Rings, Dungeon and Dragons, and other fantasy realms that lead us into escapism.

You and your team are an army fighting on behalf of wizards who have been battling it out for centuries. As you go, you collect points that go towards resolving the war peacefully. It is unique, a blast to play, and you don’t need to be an avid gamer to have fun.

Learn more over here: War of the Wizards.

Virtual Escape Room

This virtually hosted activity is an online take on the escape room craze that was gaining momentum pre-pandemic. Teams must solve a series of brainteasers, uncover clues and use logic to find the hidden jewels. 

Gather your team and sign up for an epic online escape room experience. You’ll uncover clues, solve brainteaser challenges, and think outside the “room” as you work to find the hidden stolen jewels stolen by a gang of criminal masterminds. Escape rooms are competitive and timed, so it is an excellent exercise to practice working under pressure.

“Can You Hear Me Now?” 

Pictionary with a twist is a cheap, fun activity that is great for developing communication skills. A random image generator will supply the topic. One member is the speaker, and the rest of the team is armed with a drawing pad. 

The speaker must describe how to draw the object without giving specifics carefully. For example, the speaker can say, ‘draw a large circle with a circle half its size directly on top.’ The speaker is limited to the details they can give, so they need to be very precise. 

The most entertaining part is sharing the outcomes, as they can be way off and hilarious. Virtual team building ideas that lead to a lot of laughs are usually the most memorable.

Virtual Clue Murder Mystery 

A spin of the old classic board game, ‘Clue,’ participants channel their inner Sherlock Holmes to solve a murder. They are given a series of clues and case files, which can be used to determine means, motive, and opportunity through a process of elimination.

Analytical thinking, effective communication, and collaboration are the key to success.

Flight of the Navigator

This is a hit for fans of the 80s. Flight of the Navigator is a cult classic that was released in 1986. Participants watch the movie, looking for ‘so 80s!’ fashion, paraphernalia, and products.

When they spot a wild perm, lumo bracelets, or anything else that screams the 80s, they take a drink (tea or soda is fine) or keep a record that they can compare at the end of the film. 

Another great movie to do this with is ‘Back to the Future,” as it features the 80s and 50’s, which will sit well with those who love retro.

Surprise Virtual Happy Hour 

Surprise Virtual Happy Hour is another of Rockoly’s extraordinary virtual team building ideas. Take Happy Hour to the next level with this fantastic team-building option that can boost morale and encourage connection.

A trained mixologist will guide your team to create a series of traditional and bespoke cocktails while teaching them a thing or two about the art of Mixology. 

Mixology is the art of mixing the perfect combination of spirits and flavors, creating mixed drinks to suit every taste. 

Spreadsheet Pixel Art

Google Sheets is a well-known office tool, but it’s hard to imagine how it can be used for online team-building. However, this is the perfect option for those who love art and are secretly excited when they see a nicely ordered spreadsheet or satisfying graph. 

A competitive spin will make this even more satisfying. Players use a code to replace numbers with color. This digital ‘paint by numbers’ can be as easy or complicated as you like, and free templated can be sourced here: Spreadsheet Pixel Art.

DIY Craft Challenge

Creativity is good for the mind and soul. Virtual team building ideas that allow employees to flex their creative muscles are always a great choice. 

This is a quick, fun activity designed to boost creativity. The challenge is to construct a work of art or a functional invention using materials lying around the house. 

Egg boxes, tongue compressors, a wooden spoon – anything goes. You can make it more specific by adding a checklist. Maybe it must serve a purpose or stand independently – it is entirely customizable.

But the goal is certainly not aesthetics. It is more about having fun and getting the creative juices flowing.

Virtual Trivia

Most people love a good pub quiz or trivia night. Several virtual, hosted trivia games are available for a battle of the brains. Most are divided into quiz categories and offer a ‘fastest finger first’ option or an opportunity to work through each category, grading the answers before the next one starts. 

Throw in some brainteasers, anagrams, and memory games, and you are all set for a good laugh and team spirit.

Typing Speed Race 

This is a free online team-building activity with a completive vibe and increases skills simultaneously. Using an online typing site, participants set a base score that they need to beat and challenge other team members.

This can be an ongoing game, where players can post a public scoreboard that gets updated regularly. 

Virtual Dance Party

Simple, inexpensive virtual team building ideas are perfect if you want to inject regular activities into your schedule.

 A virtual dance party is a quick and easy way to have some online fun, get out of your seats, and get that heart rate up. Fancy dance skills are not required. Just have fun. It’s a great way to break awkward silences, wake people up during a long meeting, and revive energy levels. 

Studies show that music improves mood and keeps depression at bay. It also lowers cortisol levels and eases pain. 

Some excellent dance party favorites are:

• “Uptown Funk” by Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars
• “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough” by Michael Jackson
• “Twist and Shout” by The Beatles
• “Hey Ya!” by Outkast
• “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)” by Backstreet Boys
• Kenny Loggins – Footloose

Here is a virtual dance party playlist on Spotify.

Virtual Comedy Show 

Everyone loves a good laugh – and science shows us that we NEED a good laugh. It releases plenty of feel-good hormones like endorphins, which create an overall sense of well-being. It is even known even temporarily to relieve pain. Throw some serotonin and dopamine into the mix, and you have a recipe for a great bonding experience. 

It seems that laughter really is the best medicine. It is also great for your health. Laughter decreases cortisol, a stress hormone, and boosts immunity.   

There are several virtual comedy clubs available that provide hosted comedy shows to keep your team in stitches.

Virtual Wine Tasting 

Wine lovers unite – Rockoly hosts an online wine tasting workshop run by expert sommeliers. Your team can experience some of the best and most powerful red wines from Spain or Italy. 

Not only can you savor the delicious vino, but you can learn a little about winemaking and the regions that the wines are from. Opt for a charcuterie board add-on and enjoy a cheese and wine event if you want to add a little more culture.

Scavenger Hunt

No one is ever too old for a scavenger hunt. They are loads of fun, filled with interaction and putting heads together to problem solve. And there is nothing like a bit of friendly competition. Competitive team-building events are a fantastic tool for identifying those motivated by competition. You will often be surprised.

 There are many online options out there, and they can be as straightforward or as complicated as you like. Each team can have a list between them and decide how to spread the load. The hunt can be left open for a few days or even a week so that participants can manage their time.

Ice Cream Float Experience

Virtual team building ideas that involve food are always a hit. This online experience is more than simply making an ice cream float. Ingredients are sent to participants, and they concoct their delicious treats while enjoying music, learning about the history and science of ice cream, and enjoying their refreshing reward together. It is excellent on its own or as an addition to another team-building activity.

Lost In the Arctic 

This is one of the more unusual virtual team building ideas. Lost in the Arctic is a murder mystery with a twist. Picture this: A research team discovered paranormal activity in the Arctic, and then all contact was lost. Your team needs to figure out what went wrong – without suffering the same fate.

 Clues, puzzles, and brainteasers help you along the way but make sure you look out for red herrings that could get you into more trouble.

Baby Photos

There is something about baby photos. We love seeing our colleagues and friends, cute and apple-cheeked, playing in the mud. This is an excellent activity for teams who already interact in person or online and know what each other looks like. 

Each team member supplies a baby photo of themselves. The images are collated in a document which is then issued to the team. Participants are given a time limit and need to identify which photo belongs to which person. The winner can be rewarded with a fun prize like a restaurant voucher or a gift certificate from Amazon. 

Virtual City Tour

Find a local from an exotic location that can take the team on a guiders tour via Zoom. Arm them with a GoPro and follow a live stream of them exploring the sights and sounds of their city. They can make stops at museums, chocolatiers, and art galleries (or whatever suits the group location) along the way

Pictionary

This is a classic and fun, easy activity fostering bonding and creativity. Use an app or add-on like Skribbl to create a virtual doodling room. Plenty of websites will give topics and variations of the traditional board game, and you can customize it to your heart’s content.

Whose Office Is It Anyway?

This is a great ice breaker, allowing teams to get to know each other better. It’s excellent for big groups because you can add as many participants as you like. It’s simple, costs nothing, and is a lot of fun. It is difficult for remote teams to understand the intricacies of each other personalities, and this offers a little insight into each colleague’s nature. 

Each member takes a photo of their ‘office’ and uploads it to a shareable file. The workspace should be captured in its normal state to represent them accurately (no last-minute tidy-ups of coffee cup collections). Then, colleagues need to guess or vote whose office is whose. It can be stretched out, where one office can be featured per week or each day. It will be interesting to see how many people guessed correctly. 

The Deserted Island Scenario

The Deserted Island Scenario is a quick, free activity, perfect for groups of 10 or fewer. At the beginning of the meeting, inform everyone that they have been stranded on a deserted island. However, there is hope. They get a survival kit to help them. Provide a list of objects that are not necessarily aimed at survival. This will stimulate some creative thinking. 

Some ideas include:

• 100-proof rum
• A torch
• Candles
• A bucket
• Knife
• Matches
• Rope
• Protein bars
• Canvas tarp

Each person gets to select three items from the list. Then, they share their choices and explain why. After listening to each other, they can change their items, and if they made any changes, they need to explain why. Hearing each other’s opinions and perspectives will offer a lot of insight into each person’s thinking. Afterward, participants can also provide an off-the-wall yet useful option to add to the list.

Offline Fitness Challenge

Most of us feel the need to up our fitness level since we have become more deskbound at home. An office fitness challenge is a great morale booster that will encourage teams to support each other’s goals, track progress and improve their health at the same time. Members accept the challenge and have a series of workouts to complete or goals to reach within a specified time. 

Participants can be given incentives that keep their eye on the goal. A platform like Fond can help you build an incentive-based challenge. If you want, you can involve a fitness expert to facilitate and assign personalized goals to each team member.

Virtual Bingo

Bingo is a timeless classic and great for smaller groups. It is easy, and most people are familiar with the rules. It also gets everyone involved. While a good old bingo game never fails, it can be customized to make it more interpersonal. Design unique cards or download a People-Bingo template. 

Create a list of statements that fit the team, such as ‘has blue eyes’ or ‘works in the accounts department.’ The first score five in a row wins the round. This can be run regularly, and a leader board can be posted, turning it into an ongoing competition.

Pin The Map

Want to bridge the cultural diversity gap?’ Pin the Map’ is a great way to create awareness and understanding of each person’s location and use it as a springboard for opening up about different cultures. Using an interactive map and a photo, let each team member pinpoint where they were born and where they currently live. 

This can be expanded to cover ideal holiday destinations, favorite places, where their parents were born, etc. It’s a great ice breaker, and the team can learn a lot about each other. 

Speed Interviews

Speed Interviews are a spin on the speed dating craze that became popular about ten years ago. It is a fantastic icebreaker. Traditionally, the team would be seated along a table, facing a colleague. However, you can adapt this using a platform like Twine, designed for round-robin video calls.

Each person has a list of 3 questions that they will ask the person they are paired with, and they will, in turn, answer three questions posed by their’ roommate.’ After five minutes, their breakout room is dissolved participants are placed with a new colleague.

The participants askes their assigned three questions again, but their new partner will not have the same questions as the previous ‘roommate.’ 

It takes some planning on the facilitator’s side, but this easy guide will get you there in five minutes.

There are many virtual team building ideas that make team-building valuable and fun. While bonding over a shared meal or heading for after-work drinks may seem like a distant memory, building strong team dynamics is still essential to a company’s success.

Virtual team-building is the perfect solution, facilitating face-to-face get-togethers via an online platform.

Rockoly brings your team together with interactive cooking classes and workshops customized to suit your employee’s needs and your budget. We will deliver all the ingredients to your door, so you don’t have to worry about unnecessary planning.

The post Virtual Team Building Ideas for Your Remote Team appeared first on Rockoly.

Since the onset of COVID-19 a few years ago, getting all team members together at the exact same location is an absolute bear, if not darn-near impossible. Fortunately, many entrepreneurs have filled this gap with corporate events and team-building exercises that team members can perform in a virtual setting from their homes. 

If you need new corporate event ideas to help you build the best team you can, keep reading — we’ve got plenty of things to get you on the right track.

Virtual Morning Coffee Break

Don’t let the absence of a physical office interfere with a morning coffee break with your group. Many teams have morning meetings to start the day or the week. Like those, a virtual morning coffee break is a great way to collaborate and interact with your team which makes the chaos of remote work seem almost normal.

Time spent on a virtual morning coffee break will allow everyone to have a small window into each other’s lives while planning for the week ahead. Once you learn to set aside time for virtual work, setting aside time for virtual celebrations becomes more accessible as the virtual environment becomes a more comfortable situation for everyone. 

Working at home has its pros and cons, as do most things. However, virtual celebrations let us keep traditions that we enjoyed while in the same building. For example, starting a virtual morning coffee break can lead to workshops that are no longer dry-as-toast as the team is accustomed to them.

Virtual Ice Breaking Events

Like an online morning coffee session or an afternoon break, a virtual ice-breaking event allows team members to get to know each other. Absent a physical office where we all meet daily, virtual spaces can make building relationships more challenging. 

However, even without the water cooler and break room, chitchat with newer team members and building deeper relationships with seasoned members is totally doable in a virtual environment.

Interactive games are a great way to break the ice with new team members and old alike. Some of the most popular games are things like trivia, two truths, and a lie, SpyFall, and other simple party games are excellent ways to get everyone to loosen up and engage.

Designate a time to have some fun — and not just with your team, but with other teams too!

Create A Meal With A Professional Chef

Before the work-from-home era, many co-workers and teams would engage in a night out on the town, sharing meals together at a restaurant or corporate function. But now, everyone’s spread out — so, how do you have lunch or dinner together as you did before you moved from your office to your spare bedroom?

With online team-building cooking events from Rockoly, you can virtually celebrate your successes, holidays, and special events by cooking a meal together with a classically-trained chef. The camaraderie of a group in the kitchen is always a treat that’s fun and engaging. Also, being able to share the same meal while being separated by hundreds or thousands of miles is pretty cool in and of itself! 

Rockoly makes it easy too, sending the ingredients for a meal and an accompanying wine to each team member’s doorstep for this remote activity. You then pick a time, and everyone can cook a meal together alongside a chef. Then everyone can sit down together and enjoy a fine meal while socializing or talking business!

Charitable Events

Charity events are often a core part of a company’s presence in a community. However, due to more of us working from home and the onset of Covid 19, the way charities raise money has changed. 

Fortunately, as with other companies growing from these circumstances, charitable giving can still be a part of community involvement. Everbrite works with companies to continue giving charitably with their apps.

If your teams participate in charitable giving, offer prizes and recognition to those who earn the most and put the most effort toward the project. A little competition never hurts, even when raising money for charitable causes.

Virtual Trivia Pub Crawl

Another great team builder that is fun is a virtual trivia pub crawl. With the help of Zoom, House party, or one of many other trivia applications, you and your associates can match wits. Add a few of your favorite appetizers and beverage of choice, and the game is on. 

With a pub crawl, you have the choice of developing your own set of questions or using someone else’s. A pub crawl will be a memorable event and you can get help planning a virtual trivia pub crawl from those who have done so successfully. 

Typing Speed Contest

Being low-budget and tons of fun, a typing speed contest is a great way to create a competitive spirit around an ordinary, daily task. So make it a game and see how your team stacks up with some friendly competition, while simultaneously honing everyone’s typing skills.

With websites like typingtest.com and other speed-typing apps, you and your team can have a few minutes of inexpensive fun when a break is needed. 

If you want to use this contest as a skill builder, carry it on over a few weeks or months and offer prizes to those who show the most improvement.

Solve A Virtual Jewel Heist

While Virtual Escape Room: Jewel Heist is not a free team builder game, it’s a popular one developed to work with a wide range of team sizes — from as few as four employees to over 1000. Everyone is divided into teams that are between four and eight players. 

The object of Virtual Escape Room: Jewel Heist is to work with your team members to find the hidden stolen gems. A bit like Clue, the average time spent on each game is around an hour or an hour and a half, and the benefits for your employees are numerous. The gameplay encourages each team to solve a problem while collaborating with others.

Although there is a cost involved for each team member who joins, the benefits can far outweigh them. If you add this team-builder to your roster, you and your employees will benefit sooner rather than later. 

Whose Office Is It Anyway?

This is an excellent activity for big groups, especially if you’d like to encourage your team to get to know each other better. There’s no limit to the number of participants who can play. It’s easy, fun, and free to set up. When your team works remotely, they don’t always get to experience their colleagues’ quirks, likes, and uniqueness. This game helps them find out more about each other.

Start by having each team member share a photo of their ‘office’ and upload it to a shared cloud platform. Every office space should be captured in its everyday state to represent the team member whose space it is accurately (no last-minute tidy-ups or coffee cup collections). Once the pictures have been shared, team members guess or vote on whose office is whose. The activity can all be done in one go or stretched out to feature one office per week or each day.

Spreadsheet Pixel Art

Google Sheets are generally used to crunch numbers or organize things into tables. This activity puts a different, more creative spin on this program by turning it into a canvas. It’s an especially satisfying option for anyone who is secretly excited when they see a nicely ordered spreadsheet or graph. 

Put a competitive spin on the creations and host a vote at the end of the game to see whose artwork comes out on top. It’s pretty simple to play. Players use a code to replace numbers with color. This digital ‘paint by numbers can be as easy or complicated as you like, and free templates can be sourced here: Spreadsheet Pixel Art.

“Can You Hear Me Now?” 

Think Pictionary with a twist. This is a cheap, fun activity that is great for developing communication skills and getting to know each other. A random image generator will supply the topic. One member is the speaker, and the rest of the team is armed with a drawing pad. 

The speaker describes how to draw the random object they have secretly been given without giving away the actual name of the object. For example, if the object is the wheel of a car, the speaker can start by saying, ‘Draw a large circle with a circle half its size directly on top.’

The most entertaining part is sharing the drawings that come out of the exercise, as they can be way off the mark and pretty funny. Virtual team-building ideas that lead to a lot of laughs are usually the most enjoyable and are great for bonding outside the office.

Virtual Clue Murder Mystery 

This is a variation of the old classic board game, ‘Clue,’ which also became a movie with Tim Curry of ‘Rocky Horror Picture Show fame (random trivia there).

Every participant becomes a sleuth for the night to solve a murder. Team members are given a series of clues and case files used to determine the murder weapon, motive, and culprit through a process of elimination. Analytical thinking, effective communication, and collaboration are the key to winning here. And of course, a little teamwork couldn’t hurt.

Flight of the Navigator

If there are any Generation-X team members or fans of the 80s in your company, this one is a big hit. ‘Flight of the Navigator’ is a cult classic movie released in 1986. The premise of the game is simple. Participants watch the movie, looking for ‘so 80s!’ fashion, paraphernalia, and products.

When they spot crazy 80s hair, fluorescent bracelets, or anything else that screams 80s, they take a drink (tea or soda is fine if you don’t want to make the challenge a boozy one) or keep a record that they can compare at the end of the film. 

You can take your pick of 80s movies to do this with. ‘Back to the Future as it features both 80s and 50s fashion.

War of the Wizards

This unique and engaging activity is a live, 90-minute round-robin game with a series of activities including puzzles, world-building, and escape rooms.

It’s all built around a fantasy story that your team can escape into. Think Lord of the Rings, Dungeons and Dragons, Stranger Things, and other fantasy realms that lead us into escapism.

You and your team transform into an army fighting on the side of wizards who have been battling it out for centuries. As you go, you collect points that accumulate towards resolving the war peacefully. This game is unique, out of the box, and a blast to play, and you don’t need to be an avid gamer to have fun.

Learn more on War of the Wizards.

Surprise Virtual Happy Hour 

Who doesn’t enjoy a good Happy Hour? Surprise Virtual Happy Hour is one of Rockoly’s classic virtual team-building ideas and it’s an interactive team-building option that can boost morale and encourage connection.

A trained mixologist takes the reins and guides your team to create a series of traditional and originally created cocktails while teaching them a thing or two about the art of Mixology. 

Mixology is the art of mixing the perfect combination of spirits and flavors, creating mixed drinks to suit every taste. 

DIY Craft Challenge

Creativity is an outlet that nurtures peace of mind and relaxation. Virtual team-building ideas that get employees out of the daily grind and allow them to be creative are always great choices. 

This quick, fun game is all about creativity. Each team member constructs a work of art or a functional invention using materials lying around the house. Here, they’ll have to really put their thinking caps on because they’ll need to create something that makes sense to other team members.

Random objects like egg boxes, tongue compressors, kitchen utensils, or anything else they have around the house become the ‘clay’ that they mold their creations from. You can make this a little more challenging by specifying that what they create must serve a specific purpose.

Virtual Trivia

Trivia is easy to set up, fun to engage in, and brings out your team’s competitive streak. Most people enjoy a good pub quiz or trivia night and there are many virtual, hosted trivia games available for free online. Most are divided into quiz categories but you can also make the quiz work-related or about one specific topic.

Throw in a few work-related brainteasers, anagrams, and memory games, and you’ll see the really competitive team members bringing it on!

Virtual Dance Party

This is easy to play, highly engaging, and a chance for every team member to let their hair down.

 A virtual dance party gets everyone out of their seats and gets a little heart-healthy cardio in. There are no real dance skills required. It’s just about having a little fun, breaking the silence, or even shaking things up during a long meeting to bring up the energy levels. 

All you need to do in your shared virtual workspace is randomly play a song throughout the course of the day or meeting, at which point, all staff members need to stop what they’re doing, get up, and dance. 

Some excellent dance party favorites are:

• ‘Stayin’ Alive’ by the Bee Gees
• ‘Uptown Funk’ by Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars
• ‘Yeah’ by Usher
• ‘Groove is in the heart by Dee-Lite
• ‘Hey Ya!’ by Outkast
• ‘SexyBack’ by Justin Timberlake
• ‘Footloose’ by Kenny Loggins

Here is a virtual dance party playlist on Spotify for a little inspiration.

Virtual Comedy Show 

We all know the old cliché about laughter and medicine. It’s scientifically proven that laughter is physically good for us. It releases feel-good hormones like endorphins, which boost energy and encourage smiles all around.

Have each team member create their own stand-up or improv show and hold a vote at the end of the activity to see who’s the funniest.  

Check out a few virtual comedy clubs online for hosted comedy shows to keep your team in stitches.

Virtual Wine Tasting 

Wine isn’t just for the educated palate. Rockoly hosts online wine tasting workshops for everyone, regardless of whether they know about wine or not. Each workshop is run by an expert sommelier that will talk your team through the tastes of Spain or Italy’s finest wines. 

As you savor the delicious, smooth flavors, you’ll learn a little about winemaking and the regions that the wines are from. You can even add in a charcuterie board and enjoy a cheese and wine event.

Virtual City Tour

You may not be able to get the team off to an exotic location in the flesh, but COVID-19 saw a major boom in virtual travel options, which are still out there to enjoy. And most of them are free. You can even take this concept one step further, though, by having someone who lives in your destination of choice take your team on a live guided tour.

Your virtual tour guide, armed with a mobile camera, shares a live stream of sights and sounds from an exotic city or location. They can swing by museums, art galleries, or whatever suits the group location, immersing the team in a travel experience they may never have the opportunity to experience in the real world.

Turn Corporate Event Ideas Into Action

Building the morale of your team is more critical now than ever. Working from home can be isolating for those used to being in the bustle of a big office and enjoying it. For natural introverts, solace has been welcome, but interaction with teammates is still necessary. 

However, to keep your business on an even keel, you need to appeal to both personalities. Therefore, planning and participating in virtual and onsite events geared toward employee satisfaction is a good investment. If it costs you only time or the price of a meal kit with accompanying wine, it will be money well spent. 

When going through online corporate event ideas, be sure to collaborate with your group on time and cost. Is the price of the event in your budget? If it’s not, then plan for it now so that it can be. Every business sets aside a budget for staff development. Use it wisely, as it will help your business grow — for internal growth always manifests outwardly in time.

Additionally, it will also help you keep the best employees you can by letting them know you appreciate them and are willing to invest in their well-being and personal development.
