More Ideas to Engage your Virtual Team

- Social events: Organize social events that everyone can participate in, even if they’re not in the same location. These events can help to build relationships and create a sense of community within the team.
- Recognize achievements: Make sure to recognize achievements, big and small, as they happen. This can help to keep everyone motivated and engaged.
- Feedback sessions: Have regular feedback sessions, with team members so that the flow of communication is constant, supportive and uplifting.
- Surprise them: Who does not like surprises? Monotony is a constant danger in a remote working context. To beat this, a surpise twist can always be fun. Surprises can be in a form of a half day off, thoughtful care package, a gift card etc. The more unpredictable the better.
