When your team is working hard to meet your goals, it can be challenging to make time to connect and get to know each other. But even if you work remotely, team building is a valuable way to encourage collaboration and boost your company culture.

You'll see the most impact by thinking about a long-term plan, establishing company traditions and planning special events each year. Team events can include virtual happy hours, company picnics and escape room outings, but the possibilities are endless.

Sign ups simplify organizing and communication for your team building activities so you can enjoy the experience together.

Connect remote teams with virtual events

There are many fun ways to bring remote employees together online from trivia contests to guest entertainers (we had a pianist perform Broadway hits at a virtual company holiday party!). You can also incorporate fun activities in regular meetings, such as Kahoot! quizzes and icebreaker questions.

With a sign up, you can invite your group and track attendees using the RSVP format. Add a video conference link with our Zoom integration, so people can easily join the event. You can send invites to your group as part of the sign up process and share the sign up link in your internal communications channels like newsletters or messaging tools.

To make your virtual event more engaging, invite participants to wear something fun like a silly hat or themed costume (i.e., ugly Christmas sweater for a holiday party). If you have the budget, send employees a treat to enjoy during the event, such as popcorn or candy.

Organize memorable in-person events

Popular team building events like happy hours and lunch outings are good to keep in the rotation, but planning a unique experience can be especially meaningful for your group. Look into options like local cooking classes, adventure experiences like ropes courses or local sports games. Volunteering with a local nonprofit is a great way to connect and make a difference in the community.

Choose from hundreds of sign up designs to spark excitement for your event or create a custom theme to reflect your brand. You can share the planning responsibilities with our , giving you the ability to assign different levels of permission to other team members. You can enable some people to just monitor RSVP's and give others access to make changes to the sign up. When you're ready, share your sign up around the office or on your website with a quick description of the upcoming event and a for people to easily scan!
