Why holiday-themed virtual team events are important?

Holiday season is just around the corner! Christmas and New Year are coming and holidays like that provide a great opportunity for the enhancement of company culture, team building and fun. All that can influence productivity of your remote team in a positive way. When you bring the team together the overall emotional well-being improves, which improves performance. Which is a win-win for the entire team.

Workplace celebrations create team cohesion and encourage camaraderie. Coming together helps to step out of the day-to-day work and connect on a personal level.

Maintaining company culture and team cohesion is a challenge when the team is distributed and is not physically together.  Nevertheless, distributed teams require those get-togethers even more. Hybrid and remote work can create a feeling of isolation and sustaining moments where teams can connect is even more important. Arthur is a pioneering VR office provider enabling you to work productively with your distributed team. On top of that, it is also an opportunity to create those together moments for your team, regardless of their physical location. Immersive technology brings the feeling of presence and being in the same room together which helps the team to grow closer together while having fun.

You can create the office your own and switch up the atmosphere at work easily. Switching rapidly from the perfect agile stand-up set up to a themed Christmas party never was so easy. Moreover, with Arthur, you can reduce your company’s ecological footprint and travel costs without team event quality being sacrificed.
