How to Choose and Prepare for Your Virtual Team Building Activity
Organising a virtual team building event is much the same as for an in-person one, with the added complexity of sorting online meeting logistics. However, by this point in the pandemic, you’ll have surely sussed out the best ways to organise online meetings that work for everyone!
Here are some quick steps for choosing your virtual team building activity:
Set your objective
What are you looking to achieve with your event? Do you want to break the ice and get people to know each other (especially for a new team)? Alternatively, is your event just designed to get people moving and exercise, like a wellbeing break?
Or are you looking for an activity that will get them to do something fun, let their hair down and just interact freely, like a dance party or a drawing class?
Finally, if you’re looking for an activity meant to build trust and relationships, go for a team game.
Decide the platform
Depending on what sort of online meeting software your company supports, decide what works for you and speak to us about how we can make the event happen on your platform.
Pick your activity
Browse through our catalogue of best picks and talk to us about timings, availability etc.
Sort out logistics
Does everyone need to be online at the same time? Most of our activities involve everyone getting into the spirit of things and working together, so you will need to figure out the best way to schedule the event.
Is it best to have an event immediately after “work hours” perhaps and how does your team currently work, i.e. are they still on a 9 to 5 schedule or are they working flexibly?
Finally, do your team members need to bear anything in mind for the activity to work, i.e. does everyone need an amount of space in their living room for exercising, do they need props (check out the props and supplies we can provide) etc.?
Once you’ve sorted the basics, you’re ready to have some team building fun! Here are some of our best options for your enjoyable and interactive virtual team building activities.
