Hi there!
Team building has always been an integral part of managing a team, whether that’s in the office or in a remote setting. But it’s easy to overlook it. Especially if you’re working under tight deadlines and the pressure is on.
Let’s be honest, team building has got a bit of a “bad reputation”. I can bet that most of us have gone through boring team-building exercises and forced socializing without much fun. To avoid this kind of awkwardness, it’s important to choose activities suitable to the specific needs of the team in their stage of development.
We’ve teamed up with 35 remote companies to give you The Ultimate Guide to Remote Team Building Activities. Thanks to it, you will learn more about the team development cycle and find ideas tested and loved by remote, hybrid, and distributed teams from all around the world. GET MY GUIDE
It goes great with a freshly brewed coffee or tea! Enjoy!
PS. We won’t give you any prize or reward for it, but if you find it useful we would appreciate it if you could share this guide with your network. We’ve invested quite some time in making it, so we think it’s worth a share or two!
Best,
Remote-how team
Enjoy your weekly dose of fresh remote articles!

REMOTE stats

REMOTE diversity
Remote Work Is the Next Diversity Frontier
Have you ever considered the link between diversity and remote work? Many of the most successful and desirable employers are based in expensive cities on the coasts. Not everyone wants to move to those cities, nor can many people afford to. Organizations that don’t actively support remote work are unknowingly falling victim to location bias.
REMOTE well-being
For some people, remote work is likely to help them build up bigger mental muscles. For others, however, remote work might actually drain them of mental strength. It’s necessary to think about how remote work might specifically impact 3 areas of your life: thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Learn with this article how to turn the perks of remote work into an advantage for you.
