VIRTUAL TEAM BUILDING OVERVIEW

Playworks' Virtual Team Building program addresses the needs of companies with a distributed workforce, no matter where in the world your teammates are located.

In the past years, teams have had to adjust through many different changes and new challenges, including:

  • New Forms of Communication
  • Increased Self Management
  • Distributed Work Force
  • Re-organization of Groups
  • Physical & Emotional Distancing
  • Working From Home (WFH) Environment
  • Balancing Family & Work Requirements

These changes may be frustrating and the uncertainty may be stressful, but a synchronized, collaborative team with a positive mindset can not only weather through the storm, but thrive together.

VIRTUAL TEAM BUILDING activities

Playworks activities take advantage of all types of online tools:  video conferencing software such as Zoom or MS Teams, collaboration applications such as Google Docs, as well as customized webpages our team has created.  Utilizing these tools, our experienced facilitators engage your entire team to participate, learn, and have fun throughout the session.  Some of our popular Virtual Team Building games & activities:
