Take Advantage Of Special Events
Learning about someone takes time and effort. But it also helps you as a team connect on a deeper level. One of the best ways to do this is with a game called Conspiracy Santa, a version of Secret Santa in which the team works together to pick the perfect gift:
- Set a budget for presents and a date for your ‘gift-opening party’
- An email thread goes out to everyone except the receiver of the gift
- Everyone replies about what they know about this person and then proposes gift ideas.
- Agree on a gift (which the company will purchase)
- Get together over video chat on the day of the ‘party’ to open gifts and talk about them.
