The post 78 Team Building Quotes to Encourage and Inspire Teams appeared first on Team Building Hub.

It can be very difficult to make your remote team feel connected when working so far away from each other, especially if you have a group of 100 or more people. The larger a group gets, the more difficult it is to make sure everyone is involved in the conversation! That being said, team building is necessary to get all of the members of your team working together and communicating effectively.

Why Do Large Groups Need Virtual Team Building?

The truth is groups of all sizes need to team build! During a time when people are feeling isolated working at home, it’s important to remind your team that you have a vested interest in their well-being.

Not only does team building help people connect with one another, but it actually promotes a healthier work environment! Teams that participate in regular team building events have:

• More trust in one another
• Effective communication skills
• Increased productivity
• Better connections with one another
• Creative problem-solving skills
• Better conflict resolution skills
• Open-mindedness

It’s important to plan virtual team building events for your teams of all sizes, but especially for large teams that are working remotely. Smaller teams – even those that work from home – are more likely to talk to one another every day. It’s much easier for smaller teams to collaborate on issues on a day-to-day basis.

Larger teams may go weeks without speaking to another person on their team! This lack of communication and connection could very possibly translate into their work and result in decreased performance. The better a team understands how to work well with one another, the better their performance will be!

So, you need a virtual team building activity that can support large teams. One that promotes collaboration, communication, and even a little bit of healthy competition while having the ability to engage every member of your large team. Look no further!

But the benefits of virtual team building are definitely worth the effort and an amazing investment for any group, whether you’re fully or partially remote. Keep reading for eight major benefits of virtual team building!

1. Connect With Remote Workers

Relationally connected teams tend to work together better. It’s like the difference between talking with a friend versus a stranger! Whether your team has always consisted of remote workers, or if you’ve recently had to pivot online, connecting dispersed coworkers is crucial for fostering a successful team dynamic.

Remote workers can sometimes feel forgotten, left out, or relationally distanced from their coworkers. Virtual team building can help remind them that they’re an indispensable part of the virtual team!

2. Build Co-Working And Collaboration Skills

Just like in-person team building, virtual team building can help build collaboration and leadership skills.

If there are any “new” aspects to your team — new team members, job descriptions, projects, etc. — then it’s important that everyone understands how the others work, and how everyone works together. A virtual team building activity will bring some collaboration and understanding to your group!

3. Increase Positivity And Boost Morale

Virtual team building is a unique way to improve the atmosphere in your workspace. These paid or free activities aren’t just about solving problems — they build camaraderie, trust, and let people have fun! You can bring some fresh interest to the regular work-week flow and give teammates a chance to make memories. A unique activity like this can surely help take some stress off their shoulders and build overall morale!

4. Boost Creativity And Productivity

Virtual team building will challenge your team and get them to solve problems. Fresh ways of thinking can transfer to daily problems they may have to solve or tasks they have to tackle.

They’ll grow skills like:

• looking at projects from new angles
• asking more useful questions
• trying new solutions without the fear of failing
• collaborating with other teammates when they see they can’t do something alone.

Virtual team building stretches your team to work smarter, not harder, both at the activity and on the job.

5. Prevent Zoom Fatigue

If a majority of your team uses Zoom for work, at some point you’ve probably experienced “Zoom fatigue.”

Zoom fatigue looks like:

• exhaustion at the end of the day
• achy joints and muscles
• difficulty concentrating
• increased irritability

Not the best factors for an effective team! While doing a Zoom activity, like a virtual escape room, may not seem like it makes sense to prevent Zoom fatigue, you’d be surprised how it breaks up the monotony of back-to-back video meetings. Virtual team building will mix up the stimuli that your team gets from working on a computer all day!

Consider taking your virtual team-building to the next level by booking a Peerspace and providing physical spaces for clusters of nearby teammates to gather together. You can still conduct whatever virtual team-building event you have on the docket, whether a happy hour or game or cooking class, while also letting smaller cohorts of the team mingle IRL. Use Peerspace to find a unique venue for the virtual event and reduce the number of Zoom attendees, making bonding a bit easier for everyone.

Teammates will get to engage with others in a novel way that can really help their psyche before another week of online meetings.

6. Break The Cycle Of Loneliness

Working from home has its benefits, but humans weren’t created to be alone all the time. Even with Zoom meetings and technology connecting us, there’s a need for deeper interaction than just working.

Virtual team building gives your teammates the opportunity to break out of the normal “wake up, eat, work, eat, sleep” cycle that they might find themselves in while working from home. This is especially helpful (and healthy!) for teammates who might live by themselves.

When you can help improve the individual lives of your coworkers, you not only improve their work habits but you help them grow as a person. 

7. Improve Your Team’s Communication

For teammates who are working remotely, communication is everything. Good communication isn’t just about knowing how to relay information but also the ability to listen and understand others well. Not being in person is a communication obstacle, but in the space of virtual team building, that obstacle can be used as a training tool.

Your group will be put in an atypical environment where they’ll have to push themselves to understand each other. Don’t worry — they’ll still have fun in the process! Some activities may force teammates to speak up more, while others may have to remain quiet for a change. These are good shifts in dynamics that will grow your team’s communication skills back at work.

8. It’s Accessible From Anywhere

If you have a team that is spread out across your city, state, country, or internationally, then this will surely compel you to do a virtual team building activity ASAP!

Teams that are physically far apart don’t have many, if any, opportunities to connect with each other, especially outside of work hours. Maybe it’s been frustrating for some of them to learn how to collaborate with others because of time differences or shoddy internet connections. Or maybe your teammates don’t really feel like a “team” and lack relationships with each other.

Since virtual team building simply requires a good internet connection and a block of time, coworkers from anywhere and any time zone can participate, and you’ll be able to see some of the above team building benefits positively impact your team.

How To Take A Virtual Tour

The digital age is no stranger to innovative online experiences, including virtual visits to world-renown museums. Using Google Arts and Culture, your team can explore famous museums with interactive 3D maps! Whether you’ve always wanted to see The Getty or The Guggenheim, now you can do so from the comfort of home!

EMBED Google Arts and Culture Museums

1. The first thing you need to do is go online and browse the list of Google Arts and Culture Museums.

2. Next, choose the museum you’d like to explore. There are options in countries all over the globe, from the Musée d’Orsay in Paris to the Tokyo National Museum!

3. After picking a museum, go ahead and explore the galleries just as you would if you were there in person!

To do this activity over video conferencing software, have your team open a video call on one browser window and the museum’s webpage in another. You can also make the browser windows open in split screen to see both your team and the museum all at the same time.

Why A Museum Scavenger Hunt?

Adding a scavenger hunt element to your museum exploration can give team members direction as they navigate through the galleries. For remote teams, this is a fantastic way to connect and spend time with each other in a new way.

How Do Virtual Museum Scavenger Hunts Work?

With virtual museum scavenger hunts, remote teams can take online tours through world-class museums and find specific items around the room. To make things easier, The Escape Game has already created scavenger hunt checklists you can use on your virtual visits to:

• The Van Gogh Museum
• The Getty
• The British Museum
• The National Museum of Natural History
• and The National Air and Space Museum!

The checklists for each gallery give your team an opportunity to look at the paintings and historical artifacts around them with a closer, and possibly more appreciative, eye.

Scavenger hunt lists will ask you to complete various tasks. Some will ask you to count the number of objects per painting. Others will ask you to navigate the gallery and find small, seemingly unimportant details.

The Benefits Of Virtual Team Building

Now that you know how virtual scavenger hunts work, why choose this activity for your team? The answer is to strengthen your team! Fun virtual activities, like museum scavenger hunts, lead to more connected teams and plenty of other team building benefits. Professionals with strong internal relationships feel a sense of belonging and that their position on the team is valuable.

A fun virtual team building activity can also reduce Zoom fatigue on your team, by allowing them to have fun on the computer together, rather than always focusing on stressful work projects.

The Bottom Line

Virtual museum scavenger hunts are just one of many fantastic team building events that can bring your remote team together for a common goal. It’s not only a fun activity but an enjoyable way to connect with people and create lasting bonds! Check out these awesome online team building games for Zoom to keep connecting your team!
