Time: 1 Hour 

STEP 1: Spend 20 minutes creating a Slack poll: “What virtual activities do you enjoy? (e.g., trivia, coffee chats).” List top 3 ideas in a spreadsheet. 

STEP 2: Schedule a quick meeting or send an email to share your top ideas with the team/manager. Suggest a pilot event and document approval.

STEP 3: Spend 30 minutes organizing your event (e.g., Zoom trivia). Set date, create agenda, and ensure easy access. Then, invite your team. 

STEP 4: Connect with your team after the event to gage whether or not they enjoyed it, and if it helped them feel more connected to one another in a remote setting. 

STEP 5: Repeat the same event on a month basis, or try a new one to keep energy levels high, and create new experiences together as a virtual team.
