The Monologue

Normal before the pandemic is now a distant memory. We are all learning to navigate this time in the best ways we can, which includes finding creative ways to engage your remote workforce with online team-building.

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. You may have read in our past blog posts about keeping colleagues connected and corporate culture strong through remote teambuilding activities. We decided to put our money where our mouth was and develop our own series of virtual experiences that offer a much-needed change to the standard game of bingo or your tenth yoga session.

In this article, we’ll share the ins and outs of planning engaging remote culture-boosting activities for your team. Because even when teambuilding 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!

In the wake of COVID-19, many of us are spending a lot more time at home than we bargained for, including our work hours. Morning commutes crammed on public transit to the office have transformed into hazily shuffling down to the kitchen to grab a cup of coffee. Office desks have been traded in for kitchen tables, couches, bay windows - wherever strikes inspiration, really.

A look at one of our favourite corporate retreats we’ve run in the gorgeous countryside of Tuscany, Italy. With incredible food, beautiful landscapes, dragon boat races under the Ponte Vecchio - what more could you as for?

A delightful tapestry of traditions, breathtaking landscapes and game-rich wildlife reserves are all seamlessly woven together to create a place like no other.
