Employee Engagement: Virtual Summer Activities

What’s the most modern concrete design?

Does modern concrete design match your property? 

When deciding what design you want to choose for your precious property, you will have to consider multi factors:

What design i want?

what design will go with the outside look of the house? 

What design is easy to maintain?

What color goes with your property?

Most importantly which design will increase the property value the most? as the outdoor out door walkway, stairs, walls, driveway, sidewalk or patio and backyard can up your property price by 15 – 25% 

So how is that, when you have in your backyard dead space and you turn it to useful place or when you have a space that is hard to reach and make it easy to get to by building stainable walkway or sidewalk. 

Make it look appealing and clean and now have any large cracks or puddle of waters or water slopping to the wrong direction 

 

So you want every area in your house is useful to have the full value and in top of that you want to add more value when you make it very pleasant elegant, appealing and classy

  • LGBTQ+ lunch and learn featuring guest speakers
  • Watch party featuring documentaries/movies with LGBTQ themes 
  • Charity donations to organizations providing support to LGBTQ communities
  • Creating Pride backgrounds for video calls
  • Bonus: if your organization hasn’t already, Pride month is the perfect time to consider implementing gender pronouns in places such as email signatures

Virtual Company Picnics

While company picnics are missed, they can be replicated at home with DIY cooking kits. They can be easily customized according to dietary restrictions and by theme, such as BBQ, Italian, and Mexican cuisine. Employees can gather via a video conference and enjoy their lunch together!

Alternatively, a virtual cooking class can be set up, with ingredient kits sent to employees. Employees can follow along to create their lunch!

Virtual Company Retreat

Showing appreciation for employees goes a long way–in fact, 82% of employees consider recognition an important part of their happiness at work. While corporate retreats have been put on pause, virtual retreats and company gatherings are still important to allow employees to disconnect from work and build relationships with each other.

Some fun activities for a virtual retreat include:

  • Creating an employee slideshow
  • Themed virtual hangout rooms (e.g. sports fans, pet parents, cooking enthusiasts)
  • Online office games (e.g. via Jackbox Games, trivia, murder mystery)
  • Happy hour
  • Holding an employee awards ceremony (e.g. having categories such as “been in the most meetings”, “best Zoom backgrounds”)

Here are some product ideas to get employees excited:
