Are there many different types of remote team building events?

The simple answer is yes! Just like normal team building events, our virtual team activities cater for different types of groups and people. If you’re looking for an app-based virtual event, then Virtual Around the World and Virtual Polar Rescue could be the ones for you. Our zoom-based quizzes are also a popular favourite amongst some teams, whereas some prefer a virtual cooking event. There are so many to choose from, that there is one to suit everyone.

What are the benefits of Virtual Team Building Activities?

There are so many benefits to virtual team building events, but below are our top 5:

1)   Hassle-free

All our team building events aim to be hassle free, so we adopted this when producing our live events. Like our live events, you will receive a dedicated Project Manager who will deal with everything behind the scenes, so you don’t have to!

2)   Boosts Motivation

When working remotely or on a hybrid model, everyone needs a little lift to boost themselves. The social aspect of our virtual events brings everyone back together and provides a little bit of fun and laughter outside of a normal working day!

3)   Increases Productivity

When employees work from home, they can often lack a clear work direction which can lead to lower productivity. Virtual team building activities allow managers and leaders to explain their goals, often through the chosen event.

4)   Stops Zoom Fatigue

This one may sound a little weird, but Zoom fatigue is often caused by doing the same things in the same format, repeatedly. Implementing a virtual event into the mix can actually help improve this, as it will get participants out of their norm.

5)   Combats Loneliness & Isolation

When transitioning from a busy work environment to working from home, especially when you live alone, this can be a big shock to the system. Virtual events, therefore bring back that socialisation element, especially if your job does not entail zoom calls on a day-to-day basis.
