Remote work boasts many benefits including a more positive work-life balance, access to greater opportunities, control over your commute, and so much more. Despite the resounding benefits, there are pitfalls. One of the largest downfalls of remote work is arguably isolation. Organizations are failing to make remote employees feel connected and included which can ultimately be detrimental to the organization's culture. In order to mitigate this risk, it is now more important than ever to provide remote team building opportunities that prioritize inclusivity and connection. 

Team building opportunities helps build trust, mitigates conflict, encourages communication, and increases collaboration. Luckily, there are many Zoom apps that make it possible to connect and collaborate from afar. Keep reading to unlock the best Zoom Apps for team building!

Why is team building important? 

Team building is incredibly important. Even more so for a distributed workforce. Remote or hybrid employees that don’t have the opportunity to connect in-person must prioritize virtual team building opportunities. Whether it be scheduling a daily chat to mimic watercooler interactions or participating in a team-wide virtual escape room, what’s most important is finding time to connect and get to know coworkers beyond work. 

Effective team building means engaged employees that are more inclined to work cohesively towards shared organization goals. Properly planned team-building activities will strengthen collaboration and help foster a productive work culture by building rapport between teammates and encouraging team members to embrace each other’s core strengths and weaknesses.
