The global pandemic has made everyone adapt quickly to the ‘new normal’ and shift to remote working. HR managers who think that employees will take care of team building at their end are grossly disillusioned. In this distributed and remote world, , team building activities are crucial than ever before.

Organizing a team building event isn’t just about sending an invite and plugging your device into a stable internet connection. Like any other event, virtual team building requires preparation, planning, and coordination for flawless execution.

In this article, Kraftylab brings to you some of the best practices for HR managers to remotely plan and coordinate team building events:

"A strong team performs better, solves better, and grows better," says Sara, the sales manager at a leading manufacturing company. Twice every year, she organizes team building activities for her team, where they all create something together. Sara feels this helps her team learn to adapt, connect, and build rapport. Sara highlights, "These team building activities foster creative thinking and emotional intelligence."

Teamwork is the most critical asset of an organization. Like Sam Walton said, "Individuals don't win, teams do." Team cohesion encourages individuals to work collaboratively and focus more on the entire team's success and not just their individual gains.

Between the opportunities to strengthen the team bonding and to inject fun and play into the rather stressful workdays, it's a great way to recognize and appreciate the diversity of other personalities.
