How do you socialise with teammates when working remotely?

Question

Ciao — I've been gathering ideas on how to socialise with your team when working remotely: https://pagerfm.notion.site/6217c1fc518349cda15b512e32c1c4a5?v=645d83ab5de74bf1aa3666e4cc14e1ff

What are your favourite (aka non awkward) ways of socialising remotely?

@smnmmnn just mix it ^_^ fun fact: did you know there's a ski jumper with your name?

Alexandra Cote · Answer

Use tools like Donut or make sure you schedule useful events like learning sessions/workshops [work-related or not]

@alexandracote What‘s your take on serendipitous vs. scheduled? I feel like "scheduled" socialising can come off as a chore sometimes?

Simon Ammann · Answer

@alexandracote Haha, yeah. I've seen a lot of sad faces when people expected the ski jumper but then it was me instead 🫠

We have especially designed a tool "Bravo" for this. Bravo rewards employees for socializing and sharing their status updates, work achievements, and goals with their teammates.
