The Covid-19 Pandemic has drastically altered the workplace of companies across the globe. As working from home becomes the new normal, some employees can inevitably become disconnected from their colleagues and their company. Therefore, boosting employees’ morale and reinforcing their engagement during these tough times becomes more important than before. Here, we have compiled a list of different activities from various vendors that can help to organise engaging team-building activities:
TravelClef Music
TravelClef is a music school based in Singapore which specialises in teaching music to beginners in just 2 hours. With workshops designed for corporate team building, employees can strengthen relationships with one another through learning music. For instance, their most popular workshop, Ukulele Passport allows up to 400 participants to learn how to play the ukulele even with no musical background.
Due to Covid-19, TravelClef has adapted its workshops to be either entirely virtual, physical (with safe distancing), or a hybrid of both. Therefore, you can definitely find a workshop that satisfies your company’s team-building goals while meeting possible space constraints due to Covid-19.
