If you want your staff to be at the top of their game, then incorporating team building activities is an absolute must.

There are a lot of moving parts when it comes to growing a business, so it is a necessity to make sure that everyone is working together to achieve what needs to be done. We have learned in recent years that many aspects of a company can be carried out in a virtual setting. We see more and more employees working from home with the help of technology. There are also many companies who are taking advantage of hosting virtual events. When it comes to team building activities, there are several options that can be done virtually. This will help save you money and time while also improving the teamwork of your staff.
1. Trivia
Trivia is a fun activity that can easily be carried out virtually. It is a great way to sharpen your employees minds and get them working as a team. At the same time, it also creates a little competition among them. Section your employees off into teams and have them work together to solve a variety of trivia questions. You can also have a themed trivia night that sticks to one topic such as movies, art, or music.
2. Scavenger Hunt
A virtual scavenger hunt allows you to incorporate many creative ideas to get your staff working together as a team. Essentially they will have a series of tasks, puzzles, and more that they have to complete in the allotted amount of time. Divide your staff into teams and have them work together to complete their tasks before the other teams. There are so many options for the tasks and challenges, so get ready to incorporate creative ideas. The possibilities are endless.
3. Cooking Class
There are many companies that host virtual cooking classes to help broaden the horizons of your employees. Your employees will work together, ask questions, and focus on cooking a dish with a trained chef. At the same time, your employees can do this in the comfort of their own home.
4. Escape Room
Escape rooms are extremely popular nowadays and you see them popping up around the country. At the same time, there are now several companies that host virtual escape rooms for your employees. Essentially, your staff will work together to solve a variety of puzzles, quizzes, and more until they have escaped the virtual room. This is a great way to get your employees working as a team to accomplish a task.
5. Wellness Class
The mindset of your employees is very important when it comes to their productivity at work. A good wellness session can include many things such as meditation, breathing exercises, yoga, and more. You can also work together to come up with new habits to increase synergy in the workplace.
6. Virtual Wine Tasting
This is another virtual event that has been becoming more and more popular. Work with a company to provide your employees with an assortment of wines and food to pair. A host will guide your employees through the varieties and you can all discuss the wines. At the same time, your host can teach your employees about the wines and broaden their knowledge of food and drinks. Another bonus is that everyone will be in their own home, so you won’t have to worry about anybody driving after drinking.
As a business owner, you should always be involved with the well-being of your employees. You need them to work as a team and be on the same level so they can accomplish their daily tasks. Luckily, team building activities can be done virtually anywhere thanks to technology. At the same time, your employees will have fun taking part in them. All of these virtual activities will increase the teamwork of your staff while you save time and money.
