One of the ‘difficulties’ often cited by those who want to use team building activities to enhance their team’s togetherness is that they are unable to think of any. At the risk of sounding rude, that is simply nonsense as there are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of team-building activities that they could utilise.
There are so many that they can be split into different categories depending on what sort of team-building exercise it is or their specific purpose, and there are also sub-divisions with regard to where the team-building activities take place. One of those categories is team-building activities that take place online or virtually, which is the term sometimes used.
It might seem strange to some that a team-building exercise should take place online, given that they may have a team of sports players or employees who all work in the same office. However, there are several reasons why it makes sense to have a virtual or online team-building activity rather than one where everyone is in the same location.
The first points to recent events with regard to the coronavirus pandemic whereby, depending on where you live, it meant that restrictions regarding getting together for most activities were not possible or even allowed. This meant that many activities that would normally have taken place physically switched to online, with meetings being a prime example and team building activities being another.
