How to celebrate big achievements when your entire team works remotely

There are many benefits to working remotely, such as setting your own schedule or working with teams across the globe. However, remote workers may also feel less engaged in a company's team and overarching culture when there is little in-person interaction.

Without some external validation, it's easy to feel disconnected from your work. That's why it's important to ensure you celebrate your work accomplishments.

Every year, try to do something special to celebrate another year of successful remote work. 

Keep the following in mind:

• Activities. Do you want a day at the spa? A weekend hike? A list will help you prioritize and plan.
• Budget. Establish a spending cap. You could base it on a milestone, such as after getting a promotion or new client.
• Time frame. How long do you want to be away?
• Location. How long will it take to get there?
• The number of travel companions. Do you want a group activity or go away solo?
