Community Convo - Staying Connected
It’s been a few weeks now that we’ve been keeping our distance from each other, and many of us find ourselves doing everything, including working, from home. Being physically separated may not be our preferred way of doing business, but we are so lucky to live in an age where staying connected, despite staying apart, is easier than ever.
For businesses everywhere, the importance of face to face contact with co-workers is essential. Connecting with each other on a more personal level helps promote positivity, ease stress, boost work morale, and enhance motivation. Whether you choose to FaceTime, conduct meetings through Zoom, or use Google Hangouts, the opportunity to get face to face company wide is right at your fingertips!
Meeting up virtually doesn’t have to be restricted to just business. What about getting together for an online coffee or lunch break? Or a virtual happy hour? Enjoying relaxing, stress-free moments with co-workers is just as crucial as the serious ones, especially during a period like what we’re going through now. Being able to relate to each other and let our walls down with each other promotes an even stronger bond, and is likely to develop even deeper once we’re able to interact in person again. We truly believe that a strong team makes for a stronger organization as a whole, and experiencing this new “normal” together will make us all come out stronger, and more connected, at the end.
