It’s likely that you have an element of working in a remote capacity, which means your team building in 2021 needs a slight tweak. The experts at Banana Life know two things for sure; how to encourage a fun atmosphere to help teams connect and how to do it in a virtual capacity.

Whether online or offline, team collaboration is essential. It can boost productivity, accelerate growth, and boost retention. So how should you be team building in 2021? Read on to find out.

Boost your communication with online tools

Your employees might socialise during their break times in a normal situation, but how can you bring your team together in a remote setting? It’s not as difficult as it sounds. You can boost morale with various online tools and games which help to build relationships. 

While you are likely familiar with instant messaging, video calls and chat rooms, you need to look for other ways to improve the employee communication experience. Various online team-building exercises can be just as effective as in-person options; the key is to be creative and receptive to employee suggestions. 

Have employees vote on what activities they’d like

There are many options available when it comes to virtual games, so why not use your Slack channels to cast a vote? This way, you already know your team are somewhat engaged because they have chosen the activity! 

Take, for example, the various game options here at Banana Life; we offer a range of choices to suit your team’s different personalities or the type of event you would like to hold.

Want to be challenged? Maybe you just want to have some fun? Everything is catered for.
