How do you enable your teams to bond and share knowledge in a remote first set-up?
One can be in back-to-back calls and yet not feel connected – much like being in a room full of people but feeling lonely.
I think this is a very real problem that leaders need to address.
Here are few ideas that we have tried/trying –
1) 15 Min Dailies
As a global team, we are used working in a weekly sprint model with a daily stand-up – gives the team visibility to larger goals & share learnings with each other!
2) ML Read/Discuss sessions We have such a passionate set of folks who love learning – folks share papers, concepts and discuss latest in the space
3) ‘Talk-about-your-Interest’ sessions
We have topics ranging from Dockers, Kubernetes, AI ethics, mental models to Llama’s!
4) Brain Hack Sessions
Have a problem? Brainstorm to solve it together
5) Fun-day Monday
Start the week on a great note- we do kahoot quizzes on sports, movies and even appreciate-someone-day
Our quarterly hackathons and switching our water cooler conversations to a slack channel also helps!
Do you have a team building/bonding idea to share?
