Online team building is the key to effective meetings
1. Employee burnout
According to a study conducted in August 2023, almost half of the participants in online events experience “virtual burnout.” This is especially true for young professionals: 59% of Generation Z workers report fatigue from online meetings. Adding interactive games will help to dilute the routine and restore interest in teamwork.
2. Increased Engagement
Companies that introduce virtual team building activities note a 40% increase in employee engagement. And high involvement, in turn, contributes to increased productivity and reduced staff turnover.
