In this episode, we'll cover how to do remote team building. Most of what teams (especially remote teams) actually need to build better collaboration and team identity has less to do with a singular event and more to do with ongoing activities, habits, and rituals that the team engages in regularly. Here are five proven activities that, done regularly, will build your team better than ropes courses or trust falls:
Office Tours
Scavenger Hunts
Fika
Work Sprints
Shared Meals
If you just start with one of these activities—or even use these as a foundation for an activity unique to your team—then you’ll find that you and the team are more deliberate about getting better connected, and that connection will make the whole team better.
