Has your team been virtual during the past year? Are you planning on going back full-time? A hybrid model? Virtual in perpetuity?
No matter what kind of office solution you decide works best for your team, it’s still important to stay engaged and motivated as a team. Here at Strayboots, we have solutions for all your needs, but we wanted to focus this blog post on our virtual scavenger hunts and other virtual team building options.
Virtual Team Building isn’t going away
It’s still early to say how the post-pandemic work environment will look. Only about 28% of U.S. office workers are back at their buildings, according to an index of 10 metro areas compiled by security company Kastle Systems. Many employers are still lenient with policies as the virus lingers, vaccinations continue to roll out, and childcare situations remain erratic.
But as office returns accelerate, some employees may want different options. A May survey of 1,000 U.S. adults showed that 39% would consider quitting if their employers weren’t flexible about remote work. The generational difference is clear: Among millennials and Gen Z, that figure was 49%, according to the poll by Morning Consult on behalf of Bloomberg News.
By 2025, an estimated 70% of the workforce will be working remotely at least five days a month. While 2020 may be considered the year of remote work, it is just the beginning as we see the trend continuing in 2021.
In 2021 employees will need to put extra effort into amplifying their engagement virtually to ensure they have access to new opportunities. In a remote setting where employees collaborate mostly via email, engagement is much harder for workers to convey and for employers to identify. By participating in virtual events, being active in online meetings, and keeping enthusiasm high, employees will be able to stand out as leaders while working from home.
Whether we continue to work remotely or see our teams occasionally in the office of the future, maintaining this culture is critical for successful companies. Moving forward, we can leverage the learnings from virtual work during COVID-19 to strengthen business relationships and ideate innovative approaches to design.
