The Monologue

As days morphed into months, travel became a distant memory for most - with people having little choice but to bunker down in the comfort of their homes to ride out the pandemic. Now, with the spiking numbers seemingly under control, countries are beginning to reopen their borders, shifting the conversation from will we travel again to when.

Being mindful that recognition is crucial to the success of any team and even more so in remote teams to increase morale, loyalty, reduce turnover, and ensure employees don’t feel unseen. Check out some high impact ways in which you can keep your workforce engaged, inspired and connected.

As a travel company recently turned virtual game developers, we’ve learned a lot over the past few months about bringing people together at a time when we must remain physically apart.

Because even when team-building is taking place from behind a computer screen, there are still a variety of aspects to consider in order to make sure your colleagues are excited to play!
