When your entire team is working from home, it can sometimes become difficult to maintain that motivation and drive that was so crucial to meeting targets and achieving success in the office. It can feel like you're on a island when you've been used to being part of a group. Having to rely so heavily on technology can also lead to problems, like Wi-Fi issues or too many Zoom meetings adding to regular workplace stresses. 

If you're wondering how to maintain your team's morale and bring everyone back to the top of their game, creative classes can help bring everyone together. Add a healthy dose of fun and inspiration to your workday by signing up for some fun-filled virtual team building activities.

Whichever activity you decide to go for, your team will get the chance to relax and unwind, while also getting to know each other better. These positive new connections are sure to influence your online work and help your team succeed at achieving your goals. 

Teaching your staff the importance of self-care

As well as facing various technological issues and difficulties with motivation, remote teams who are working from home may struggle with aspects of self-care as well. Perhaps they're spreading themselves too thin, or failing to tap into their inner pool of creativity and finding themselves stagnating instead. If you have concerns that some of your co-workers may be finding their new working life draining, one of the ways you can help is by reintroducing opportunities for relaxation and creativity into their lives. 

We have many soul-soothing live streaming sessions and pre-recorded classes for you to try. Our online health and wellbeing classes will be particularly beneficial when it comes to boosting your team's spirits and helping them work more closely together. Before you know it, these virtual team-building ideas will have helped you foster a positive working atmosphere that is sure to be reflected in your company's success - and the happiness of your staff. 

For instance, why not sign your remote teams up for a hand building pottery class? Your teacher with Open Objects Studio will walk your team through each step as you make a small trinket dish in this online class. Everyone will finish their project feeling relaxed and refreshed after working with clay.

If you want to get creative in a different way, your team can meet for a virtual vision board session. This is a fun way to slow down and think about what you want to accomplish in life. It's a great way to visualize your goals and find ways to achieve them in an encouraging setting. Your teacher will help you create positive affirmations and map out how you are going to take this journey. 

This is a fun way for team members to strengthen connections while working on personal goals. When you are done, everyone will have a motivational board to remind you of your time and serve as a roadmap for where you want to go personally and professionally.

Choosing virtual team building ideas tailored for your needs

If you've decided to boost your staff's workplace wellbeing and bring them closer together at the same time, you're already on the right track to providing a nurturing online working environment. However, it's important to remember that not just any virtual team-building activity will do. It's important to consider everyone's needs before you select your virtual team builders, to ensure that the whole team benefits. Online art classes or a live streaming cooking lesson may be the perfect activity to help your team de-stress and develop a stronger bond at the same time. 

Thanks to the sheer variety of virtual team-building ideas, you are sure to find the right activity to suit you and your co-workers. Whether you opt for online cooking classes, journaling together, or a happy hour of crafting or meditation, you and your remote teams will feel revitalized and energized.
