Remote Team Building & Connecting Virtually: 3 Tips to Build Rapport
According to Gallup studies, increasing employee engagement is one of the key factors for business success. However, with work from home (WFH) becoming a default and most connections done via Zoom or other digital tools instead of face-to-face interactions, it is increasingly difficult for management to engage their employees and foster rapport.
If you’re looking for ways to bridge the gaps between people in your company, read on because this blog will provide information and tips for remote team building that’ll help your employees feel more connected.
What happens when employees feel disconnected?
If employees become detached to their co-workers and their company, they may start disengaging. Without feeling any sense of affiliation or belonging, they might put in less of themselves into the work they produce. Uncertainties about their performance, goals or even if they are going to keep their jobs can overwhelm them and put them in a state of distrust with the management.
Fundamentally, employees want to stay informed and feel included through regular communication and online team building. Even though 60% of the companies believed they’ve done enough to bridge the gap, nearly 80% of employees surveyed disagreed.
Why is connection amongst colleagues important?
In Gallup’s studies, it was found that adequate employee engagement can have a significant impact on a company’s overall performance. Employee engagement not only increases customer ratings by 10% but also raises profitability by 22% and productivity by 21%!
What’s more, when employees feel included and a part of the team, they tend to feel more focused and committed to achieving corporate goals. Evidently, such emotional gratification can also lower turnover, absenteeism (37%) and cause fewer safety incidents and quality defects.
Tips to build rapport
There is so much to gain when your company is fully engaged with the employees. Here are three tips that will make your team feel more connected:
1. Establish regular communications
Managers should take the initiative to reach out to their team members regularly to understand their progress and difficulties. If a physical meeting is not possible, leveraging digital tools for virtual meetings are good options too. Alternatively, organising a remote team building activity could be a great way to bring the entire team together.
2. Offer help
A great way to build rapport is to offer help whenever you notice employees struggling or having difficulty coping. With remote working, many employees tend to work in silos and suffer in silence because they find it harder to reach out to others for help. If you can show you care enough to help them with such small issues, they’ll feel valued and more positive to commit to their tasks.
3. Recognise and empower
Empowering your team members to take action and make decisions is essential to establishing trust. When you recognise their abilities and effort, they will feel more like a trusted individual in the company. Similarly, award praises or rewards whenever appropriate. It’s the best way to let employees feel that their hard work is being appreciated.
Making the best out of working virtually
WFH might have made communications with your team a lot harder but there is an increasing number of digital tools designed to bridge these gaps. A quick search online and you’ll find ample options like online team building sites, virtual whiteboard for sharing information and Zoom for virtual meetings. Such tools are must-haves that will make workflow more productive and efficient.
Importantly, all these digital platforms come with comprehensive instructions that will guide you through even simple steps like how to use Zoom and how to change Zoom background. They are easy to understand and incorporate into your daily work.
Build strong connections in the workplace with Making Teams
Companies must pay extra attention to employee engagement and communication to ensure a healthy, thriving workplace and business success. One simple way to do this is to organise remote team building activities with Making Teams, a dedicated company that has been providing high-quality virtual team building activities to clients around the world. Try our virtual Treasure Hunt or online Murder Mystery or get in touch with us to find out more.
Virtual Team Building: Which Activity is Best For Your Team?
Having a strong team can mean the difference between success and failure. COVID-19 has most of the workforce working predominantly from home, which can result in a lack of communication, create distance, and potentially even distrust, amongst co-workers. This can affect team coherence. Managers have to make the extra effort to ensure their teams know each other, interact often, and have strong connections.
Why is building a strong team important?
Strong teams are productive and efficient and can achieve a great many things. Working from the office facilitates organic rapport building, while remote working can stunt office bonding and the development of relationships. A study published in the European Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology in 2016 found that if employees have strong work friendships, the likelihood of them exhibiting innovative behaviour at work is higher.
Making Teams Singapore provides a viable solution to increase interaction amongst your team members with its virtual team building games, which includes Escape Room and Amazing Race. In this blog, we provide a few pointers to help you decide between the two.
Determine your type of team and how it functions
Before deciding on a corporate team building activity, and if you should go with Escape Room or Amazing Race, determine the type of team you have. By knowing the teams and how they function, you are in a better position to determine what form of integration and collaboration activities you should incorporate to help them work more cohesively.
Four types of teams:
- Functional work team – Team members belong to the same functional area and report to a manager. Departments such as Accounting and Maintenance usually have such a structure.
- Cross-functional team – The team is made up of members with different expertise to contribute to a complex project. Boards of Directors or project teams are good examples of such team structure.
- Self-managed team – Such a team doesn’t have a leader but employees work collaboratively to achieve a common goal. Commonly adopted by startups and small businesses, the team would organise their tasks and decision-making amongst themselves.
- Troubleshooting team – The team is created to improve a specific process or product. Members are often sent to different departments to provide solutions.
Decide what you want to achieve with this team activity
Next, decide what are your objectives for wanting to organise a team-building activity. There are a few common goals that you can take reference from:
- Get fellow team members acquainted
- Increase trust and cohesiveness within the team
- Improve soft skills such as motivation, creativity, communications and emotional quotient (EQ)
- Improve morale and engagement amongst employees
With a clear objective in mind, you can then develop a sound team-building plan that not only suits your stakeholders but more accurately eliminates sore points in the team and restores confidence.
Comparing virtual games
With remote work, more companies are choosing virtual games as their preferred team-building option because they are effective, fun and easy to execute since they transcend physical distance. Importantly, there is a wide selection of virtual games designed to match different team-building objectives and types of teams.
Here are two virtual team-building programmes that are favoured by many companies: Escape Room Online and Amazing Race Online.
Virtual Escape Room
The Escape Room team building activity is designed to help your team cultivate communications and organisational skills while getting to know one another. Each participating team would be ‘virtually’ locked in a room and they are required to solve a string of riddles and challenges before they can break free. The winning team is the one that can complete the challenges at the fastest speed. Virtual Escape Room comes with three different options and can be tailored to best match your company’s budget and requirements.
Virtual Amazing Race
Much like the TV show ‘The Amazing Race’, Making Teams’ Amazing Race activity is action-packed and highly experiential. Participants are divided into teams to find different destinations and complete tasks that last between a couple of minutes to an hour. The tasks comprise Cultural Riddles and Cultural Activities that require the team to unravel as a team and eventually complete all challenges at the fastest speed to take the top prize.
Build a strong team with Making Teams
Embracing virtual team-building might be a new concept but many organisations have started investing in virtual team-building due to COVID-19. There is no reason to compromise your team activities just because of physical distance.
Jump on the bandwagon with Making Teams to discover a new and virtual way of team-building. Making Teams has been a dedicated team providing high-quality virtual and onsite building programmes to clients around the world since 2005. Reach out to us to learn more.

Top 10 Virtual Escape Rooms for Online Teambuilding in 2021
This is our list of the best virtual team escape rooms for online team building in 2021!
What are virtual escape rooms for teambuilding?
In case you’ve never done a virtual escape room or even a real-life escape room, a virtual escape room is a room you have to escape with a group of people – your colleagues, friends or family – in an online web-based program or app which you can access with your computer, tablet or phone conducted through a conferencing platform such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Webex or other and usually led by a host.
The objective of an escape room is always to escape the room as fast as possible whether against other teams, yourself or against a time limit. To escape the room teams must solve challenging puzzles, riddles and conundrums which require teamwork, collaboration, communication and leadership skills.
Virtual escape rooms are a real fun team bonding experience that can be done while being apart and are therefore a great way to bringing team members closer together, especially during a time of lockdown, social distancing and remote work.
What are the different types of virtual escape rooms?
You can find countless escape rooms online with a great variety of gameplay and themes.
Many of the so-called virtual escape rooms are only text based which are basically a series of questions or riddles at most and often cause for disappointment especially for those who have already experienced real-life escape rooms.
The more advanced escape rooms will have you go through different web pages and ‘rooms’ with a different puzzle to solve in each room to finally escape the last room. Some might enjoy these types of rooms the most. An example of this type of room is the Egyptian – Escape the Pyramid.
The best and most advanced type of virtual escape rooms are those that have you actually look through a virtual 360 room whereby you see the whole room with all the items and evidence you need to escape it. An example of this type of room is Sherlock Holmes.
How to choose a virtual escape room?
The biggest point to consider when choosing a virtual escape room is the type of game play as described above. The most advanced rooms will have a virtual 360 gameplay which will give for a real-life feel as if you’re actually in the room. Others might prefer a room whereby you go from one web page to another.
Whatever your preference is, always make sure you know what you buy by reading reviews or requesting a demonstration, the best companies that offer virtual escape rooms will also give you a demonstration if you ask them.

The Virtual Amazing Race is our most popular activity and there’s a reason, actually more than one, so
Here is our top 5 reasons poeple like the Virtual Amazing Race.
Travel and visit well-known locations around the world
We all know how hard it is to travel these days, and it doesn’t look like there’s much of a light at the end of the tunnel for travelling freely yet. Many of us have been hit hard by the recent lockdown regulations, so a Virtual Amazing Race will give you the opportunity to relive your globetrotting days from the comfort and safety of your work-from-home office! Every location in the Virtual Amazing Race has an accompanying 360 degree street scene so that you can navigate around and explore famous places virtually – not quite like being there in the flesh, but it’s the next best thing, and it might help you scratch that travel itch!
Get more familiar with virtual conferencing tools
If you’re like many other people (the author included), being part of a virtual work team is a wholly new experience, and some of us might not yet be totally accustomed to using the various tools that virtual conferencing platforms and virtual offices can provide to make life easier. The Virtual Amazing Race provides a great opportunity to equip those tools and put them to immediate use in a team setting. Things like screen annotation, screen sharing, virtual notetaking and team whiteboards can all be utilized in the Virtual Amazing Race to give your team that extra edge in the race. You might find out a new way of utilizing Zoom or Teams that you never knew before!
Get better at team problem solving
The Virtual Amazing Race is a lot of fun, and it also exercises your biggest muscle – the brain!

One of the most exciting things about The Virtual Amazing Race is the inclusion of live team challenges. Ever wanted to learn yoga? Always wondered how to fold a cool origami shape? How about learning how to make a recipe in a new foreign language? In every Virtual Amazing Race there’s a selection of live challenges where you and your team have to interact with a live local person in real time to complete a cultural challenge – you never know what to expect, it’s great for a laugh and you’ll definitely learn something new!
A great chance to reconnect with team members
Let’s face it, it’s been a while since you’ve had a chance to get out and mingle, and a lot of the time when you’re working from home it’s hard to tell when the work day actually ends – sometimes it doesn’t! There’s no better way to let your hair down and have a few laughs with your colleagues then taking part in a Virtual Amazing Race. Without the stress of the task list to worry about, you and your team can focus on the most important things right now – getting to know each other better, reestablishing those social connections, and having a bit of well-earned and well-deserved fun!

How to Collaborate Better in Virtual Games
How to Collaborate Better in Virtual Games
Looking for some ideas to beat that next virtual game with your colleagues effectively?
Being game developers and online team building facilitators, we always look for ways to challenge teams to collaborate more during online games to improve team bonding and individual participation within a group and strengthen teamwork towards reaching a common goal.
So what are some of the best ways to collaborate as a team in a virtual setting?
Here is how your team can collaborate better in your next online team building activity!
Assign Roles
The key to effective collaboration in any team is having the right people in the right place so assign some basic roles within your team. The roles you need to complete a game effectively might differ per type of game but generally it is a good idea to assign a leader who delegates the tasks, a note taker, an information gatherer, and someone to share the game screen so everyone has a point of reference, other useful roles can be a time-keeper and a researcher.
Share Screen
For all our virtual activities we recommend one person in the team to share their screen with the rest so there’s one point of reference while everyone else in the team also has the game open on their own computer and the team as a whole can explore multiple parts of the game at the same time.
Determine the Objective
All to often teams get stuck or lost in the information given in a game without first figuring out what the actual objective is. In our Virtual Amazing Race for example we specifically mention what the challenge is but there’s always teams that read over it or get lost in the virtual scenes. Once you can define a problem or objective you will know much better what to look for within all the information given and to separate what you need and what you don’t need.
Delegate Tasks
With limited time at hand during these games and often multiple tasks to complete, it is important to split up the work so you can work on multiple tasks at the same time and complete the game faster. In our Virtual Amazing Race for example, the leader could assign one person to look around the 3D scenes while another person reads all the text, and a third person tries to complete the location challenge.
Specific Collaboration Tools
Some specific tools for collaboration that are useful in tackling virtual games are taking notes and screenshots and sharing them in the chat of the conference platform you’re using during the game like Zoom or Microsoft Teams or through a shared folder like Microsoft Sharepoint with OneDrive or Google Docs. You can also use external chats like Slack. Another useful tool is a whiteboard which is available in MS Teams or use one of the external apps like MIRO.
In our Virtual Escape rooms for example it is very useful to have the information gatherer take screenshots of all the information in the room and paste those screen shots in the chat, so everyone has them at hand at any time to solve the puzzles easier.
Final Advice
Some final advice is an obvious one but often neglected. As virtual team building facilitators, we always move between breakout rooms to see how teams are doing and help where needed and what we often see are teams that either don’t talk or talk so much and over each other that important information or even straight up solutions are missed, especially when teams are under time pressure. So, keep the communication going and keep listening to each other!
We hope this post will help you and your team on your next online team activity, good luck and have fun!
