👋 Most HR Transformation Consultants three months ago would have advised your organization to start strategic planning now, with a timeline of five to ten years, for remote work practices to become fully adopted. The Future of Work concept that the majority of workers will do their job virtually has happened within a matter of weeks because of COVID19.

Staying connected and creating the space to have fun will be the key to your teams survival.

Commit to trying one of these virtual remote team building activities over the next two weeks. #remoteleadershipchallenge

🏡 MTV Cribs-inspired tour — team members show off their home offices in short self-made videos or during a video conference
