Team building during the pandemic has been tough. Small businesses have rapidly gone from mostly in-person to mostly remote. Even as employees return to in-person work, many people will continue to work remotely or have team members in other locations.<\/p>\n

Workplace shifts and new company culture norms have given rise to an important dynamic: virtual team-building activities.<\/p>\n
