How do you maintain employee culture with everyone working remotely?

Thomas Lah

This was the number one question from our business challenge session last week with 40+ member companies:

"How do you keep culture building, relationship building events, or get togethers going with everyone working remotely and not getting together physically?"

@Mathieu Cattafesta has given a pretty complete answer.

In addition to the things mentioned we have started the following:

• Regular in person coaching sessions for at risk or stressed employees.
• Working in small teams with a video sharing app open
• A weekly learning session led by a different person each week (an virtual lunch and learn)
• A non work social engagement (in our case we play Dungeons and Dragons together)
• Monthly socially distanced in person meetings in parks (at least until winter comes)
• Bi monthly updates on business impact of C-19 (fortunately people have begun buying again in the past two weeks)

High usage of video chat

Live events for "All hands" meetings with interactive polls, questions, etc

Smaller teams can have a trivia event.

Online happy hours ;)

Thank you @Matthew Caldwell . I am curious if anyone is doing something they think is unique to their company. A practice that reinforces specific aspects of a company culture.
