SETTING YOUR GOALS
While Escapely clients won’t need to worry about the details, here are some of the things we think about in planning and hosting a virtual team building activity. If you try to host your own event, you’ll want to start here for virtual team building ideas. The first step in planning is setting clear objectives for your team. This ensures every team member is on the same page and makes the experience more structured, productive, and rewarding for everyone involved.
A successful virtual team building event should:
- Establish unity among team members
- Promote open communication
- Overcome physical distance barriers in remote teams
- Make the team more united and productive
- Improve collaboration in remote work setups
Imagine your team members bonding, communicating well, and working seamlessly together, regardless of their geographical locations. That’s the power of virtual team building activities!
Once you’ve agreed on the goals, let’s explore some virtual team building ideas to enhance your team’s collaboration.
CURATING YOUR ACTIVITIES
We offer team building activities suited to companies and groups of all shapes and sizes. From virtual escape rooms and interactive murder mysteries to trivia night and activity kits, these events are designed to engage remote team members in fun and collaborative ways.
Whatever your budget, we have an activity that will work for your team. Even our self-guided team building activities come with clear instructions and a user-friendly interface so that you won’t need to worry.
We’ll constantly update you along the way to ensure a productive and satisfying event. And most of all, your team will emerge stronger and more cohesive.
Our activities are designed to:
- Provide opportunities for collaboration
- Celebrate achievements and milestones
- Create a positive and inclusive environment
By implementing these goals in our team building activities, we can help you create a stronger and more cohesive virtual team!
BIG TEAMS AND SMALL TEAMS: WE GOT YOU!
But what if you have introverts on your team? Or what if your team spans across different time zones?
These are questions we get all the time, but we have answers for all of them. Depending on the size and personality of your team, we can keep everyone together or organize breakout rooms. If you have shy people on your team or coworkers who are still getting to know each other, you can choose an activity with more staff to help facilitate. They will maintain inclusivity and engage every team member, regardless of the group size, personality types, and locations of the team members.
ORGANIZING THE EVENT
SELECTING THE BEST VIDEO CONFERENCING PLATFORM
Virtual events are hosted on a video conferencing platform for conducting video calls and virtual meetings online. These platforms offer features like screen sharing, recording video calls, and on-screen annotation, which makes them ideal for virtual team building activities during a virtual meeting.
Selecting the best video conferencing platform is crucial for smooth communication and collaboration within a remote team. At Escapely, we can host all of our team building activities over Zoom, Teams, Webex, or another platform of your choice.
INTERACTIVE TOOLS AND APPS FOR REMOTE TEAM ENGAGEMENT
We’ll provide the interactive tools needed for your chosen activities. Whether you need virtual tools for your online games, interactive features to access, or physical kits, we’ll prepare them for you!
WHEN IT’S TIME FOR GAME DAY
Ice breaking and setting the mood is important when starting a team building session. This is especially challenging when done virtually.
That’s where our emcees come in. They will welcome everyone and set the tone for the virtual event. Our moderators will facilitate the team building activity from start to finish. During the event, they will interact with employees and keep the mood fun and immersive for your team!
