Globalisation has brought a rise in the global mobile workforce: even before the pandemic, it was estimated that remote workers would increase to 43% of the global workforce by 2023. Team effectiveness has the same principals, whether remote or working face-to-face, in fact remote teams have added challenges when it comes to effective communication, motivation, shared culture and connectedness. An effective team is guided by a capable leader who establishes the rules of play and the communication channels that foster positive team dynamics even when working from home.
Even when team members are working from home, team building activities can be useful to connect and have fun together, as well as build on vital soft skills that are important for remote teams to be effective.
