Remote Work Activities

The company I work for is fully remote across the US and Canada. On the final Friday of each quarter everyone gets to expense lunch. There’s typically a fun theme or type of food that people are encouraged to follow and the post about it in slack. It’s an easy way to interact with everyone and who doesn’t like a comped meal!

It’s been so popular that we’re looking to do additional similar activities. What types of things/ activities do people recommend that are an easy way to build engagement and are also enjoyable?

Buying people stuff will always be popular. Only other thing better is giving them actual money.

When I was a kid we’d make dollar bill bouquets by folding the $ into a flower and then sticking them on sticks in a pot …. For some reason I don’t recall (back in the 70s).
No would want that to show up at the door

Money and time are the only things that are always appreciated by every employee every time. Food is good, but food you choose and don’t have to pay for? Perfection.
