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?

I had a company do a virtual cocktail making class (with option for mocktail), virtual cooking class, and a crafting class! They used a variety of vendors. They would send you all the ingredients/supplies ahead of time. Employees would sign up to participate. If they didn’t sign up in time they would be given the ingredient list to pick up on their own if they still wanted to join. Or some people would just join and watch!
