Blending in-person and virtual can be challenging when it comes to creating out-of-work experiences that people will actually enjoy. Here are some ideas to help mix it up (literally, in some cases).
There are countless Toronto-based experiences that can bring your team together—wherever they are. Think: crafting unique cocktails together or teaming up for trivia night. Also don’t discount the power of gift-giving to build connections. Despite the physical distance, these activities and gifts will keep your team working together towards common goals.
