From birthdays to small team achievements or new launches, celebrating wins and special moments for remote teams will ensure your employees feel appreciated for their work efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond this, virtual team celebration can:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cultivate a strong <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/remote-team-culture\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">team culture<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Attract new talent and retain existent one<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Boost employee morale<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Improve overall employees happiness<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Give your team a chance to break free from their regular schedule<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep your team aware of their results and eager to obtain more<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Form stronger bonds between individuals<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So how will you organize your own remote team celebrations?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>In this list of virtual team celebration ideas we\u2019re having a look at how other companies are recognizing their workers and celebrating milestones in their personal and professional lives.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Icebreaker sessions to recognize small and personal achievements on a daily basis<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As many as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2016\/05\/recognizing-employees-is-the-simplest-way-to-improve-morale\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">40% of employees<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> state they\u2019d put more care and effort into their work if they received recognition more often. Not yearly, not monthly. Employees want to be appreciated for every achievement they get even if that happens on a regular basis. But in reality, only <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tinypulse.com\/employee-engagement-report-2020\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1 in 3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> employees feel that they get the recognition they deserve whenever they go beyond expectations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So a systematic virtual team celebration idea is to incorporate celebrations and appreciation moments into your day-to-day schedule. One suggestion is to start every meeting or workday with an icebreaker session. You can also hold these via a Slack channel of your choice to speed things up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take 5 minutes to thank your team, celebrate yesterday\u2019s hard work, or just say \u201cHappy Birthday!\u201d to a colleague. To get your whole team on board, have a different employee take the mic for the day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This will allow everyone to say what they\u2019re thankful for, show which teammates they appreciate, and create their own fun icebreaker session formats. Talk about what went well for a past project and where things could have been improved.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t limit virtual celebratory icebreakers to work though. Got an employee who\u2019s always happy to help others? Praise them. Have someone who\u2019s able to motivate others when things seem grim? Thank them too.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Virtual happy hours and cocktail parties<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a classic office setting, you\u2019d take your team for lunch or bring lots of goodies to the office. Remotely, virtual happy hours are events no employee can say no to. You can eat lunch together, grab a glass of wine, watch a movie, tour someone\u2019s house, or just play a game like \u201cName that song\u201d or the classic \u201cNever have I ever\u201d. Get your team to bring in their own ideas in order to keep each virtual fun meeting unique.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7516\" src=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/recruitee.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/recruitee.png 640w, https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/recruitee-300x130.png 300w, https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/recruitee-380x165.png 380w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An insider\u2019s look at one of the happy hours on the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/recruitee.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recruitee<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> team<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep these happy hours regular. Once a week will do for most small and medium teams. If you\u2019ve got more than 15-20 team members though, you\u2019ll want to have separate get-togethers and rotate the participants. This will give attendees enough time to get to know each other and build trust\u2014a vital contributor to team cohesion and performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With new restrictions in place, even if you\u2019re getting your team to come in for 2 out of 5 days, they will rarely get to spend time together on non-work matters. The classic Zoom call comes to the rescue for your virtual party ideas.

Image slideshows, slide decks you can share on social media to display wins publicly, or crafting a complex comic strip to look back at all the small or big triumphs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For some inspiration that\u2019s bound to leave you without words, check out what the folks at <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Champlain College<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are doing.

You can use their efforts to influence yours too and encourage team members to craft their own posts or social updates where they can thank one another.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example of posts you can use as shout outs include:<\/span><i><\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Congratulations to Claire and John for hitting their monthly quota early.

Got any questions for him?<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As with any employee appreciation opportunity, you\u2019d better bet your team doesn\u2019t want to see only the company\u2019s results. They want an up-close look at how their performance has improved, whom they helped, and other tiny earnings like \u201cBest at coming up with ideas on the sport\u201d or \u201cCraziest suggestions of the year\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Virtual gifts and surprise parties to celebrate birthdays<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You probably gave these before too, but this time make sure they\u2019ll remember your gift. Send useful things by talking to a person\u2019s at-work friends or tapping into the power of your own employee surveys.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lacking gift ideas? There\u2019s thousands of options like:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Snack boxes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fitness equipment or small gadgets<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That new stainless steel pan or warm blanket they\u2019ve been looking to get<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gift cards, concert tickets, or subscriptions<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anything to support one of their hobbies<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Something for their pets or kids<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Classic designer sweaters or jackets to stay away from plain corporate branded apparel<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Charitable donations<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alternatively, organize a party by sending all attendees a care package with fun props and tasty snacks or drinks beforehand. Birthdays are a must to celebrate [even if someone\u2019s birthday falls during the weekend]. Random celebrations though will come as a true surprise so opt for a \u201cjust because\u201d gift every now and then.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7513\" src=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/omnipresent.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/omnipresent.png 640w, https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/omnipresent-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/omnipresent-338x450.png 338w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gifts for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.omnipresent.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Omnipresent<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> team members<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Create a team gratitude list for regular features<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People love seeing their names next to huge achievements. Especially if the list is something they can share publicly. Praise someone daily on your communication channel or create a separate post to share on your company\u2019s social channel accounts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some companies who rely on their team culture for attracting and retaining talent also let their team members write posts on their blog like the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.asana.com\/2020\/12\/why-i-joined-asana-anna-vossschulte-enterprise-account-executive\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asana<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> team does. Have them talk a bit about their own achievements as well as how they\u2019ve contributed to the organization\u2019s growth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Important note here: This tactic shouldn\u2019t be a stand-alone virtual team celebration idea. Pair it with other strategies in this list for the best results. Gratification goes well beyond simply attaching a name to a result as employees will be looking forward to a reward that\u2019s equal to their worth.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Talent and creativity contests to break the routine<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To bring out the creative side of your team, opt for a contest as a virtual celebration idea for your employees.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try a thematic and leave room for employees to get as inventive as they can. From dressing up to recording a fun video or displaying their talents. A simple photo contest where people can share pics of their workspace, crafts, or dogs works too. Maintain an uplifted mood with an ugly sweater or craziest dance contest they will remember for years to come.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7515\" src=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/entire-productions.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"854\" srcset=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/entire-productions.png 640w, https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/entire-productions-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/entire-productions-337x450.png 337w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crafts contest for the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.entireproductions.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Entire Productions<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> team<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep boredom away by celebrating unexpected days<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everyone knows when Christmas is, but did you know that October 1<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">st <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is Escape Room Day?
