An Update on Remote Team Building

The emergence of online team building

While the COVID crisis has had a huge impact on our ways of living in society, it has at least been an incredible accelerator of new practices and sometimes of new trends.

Let's now focus on what might appear to be an alternative solution to our previous meetings. These solutions offer... Team building or else Team-building seminars conducted remotelythus guaranteeing perfect sanitary conditions.

How, given the constraints of this crisis, can we remobilize and energize our employees? How to offer a different framework, new experiences, but also the possibility of different perspectives and exchanges with one's superiors and colleagues… All these aspects are already well integrated into the proposals for in-person Team Building programs.

Online team building as a solution… Yes, but…

The emergence of numerous proposals forremote digital animations have become flourishing in the market, so it would be time to take stock of it.

As with any market opportunity, emerging offerings bring their share of surprises. They can sometimes be suitable, but also, unfortunately, misleading and poorly thought out in their production quality, and ill-suited due to a lack of expertise on the part of some players. The emergence of unfinished products is compounded by a certain unfamiliarity among the "clients" due to the novelty of the situation, and this is how, insidiously, problems arise. the team building market a poor impression of the practice.

Many offers are produced by actors with only a distant connection to the expertise and mechanics of Team Building productionAnd we then observe that the "purpose" of the animations is not adapted to the objectives of the client companies.

We are seeing three types of new players emerge: event agencies, which are suffering greatly from this crisis and have decided to become remote team-building providers; video game programmers, who were already offering online solutions; and finally, coaches, who are offering various online workshops, such as cooking, creative activities, etc.

While we don't intend to question the sincerity of these new providers in this market or their practices, it seems more than necessary to shed light on the content and relevance of these virtual events. Why shouldn't you, the consumers, demand the same guarantees from us, the producers, as you do for your in-person events? Is this a consequence of the economic crisis? We're already hearing far too many negative reviews, so it's time to make the offerings in this market more transparent.

Doing online quizzes is not team building

Obviously the definition of team building and cohesion actions are specific to each individual, but can we lump together "pure entertainment" solutions that allow for a decent time and team building activities that, of course, also offer a "good time" but allow for... collaborate, exchange, integrate, implement strategies, use collective intelligence, remotivate employees…

Choosing a quiz isn't a bad idea for motivating your teams and creating a relaxing moment. However, you'll need to ensure its quality and mechanics so as not to misrepresent your company's values ​​and image, which shouldn't be solely focused on entertaining your staff.  

This market, as it has developed since mid-2020, seems to offer primarily online entertainment solutions in the form of quizzes, whose purely playful and not very collaborative approaches already seem to be generating very mixed feedback from early consumers.

Even as employees are overwhelmed with video meetings and surely expect other types of experiences from their company, how can we rise to the challenges posed by this crisis and send positive signals, the true fuel of our businesses…

Cutting-edge collaborative remote solutions

Based on all these observations, the Autreman Group As a producer of team building and high value-added solutions, it was essential to develop an online offering that mirrors its existing in-person offering and guarantees the same user benefits.

In addition, carrying out these innovative team building activities also means offering "new user practices" cutting-edge technology, to experience new ways of collaborating, which foreshadow future uses in companies and their new tools.
