The global pandemic deeply affected the day-to-day work life of employees everywhere. Transitioning to work-from-home setups, switching to video meetings, and collaborating virtually all became our new reality. It hasn’t been easy.
We all feel how remote work environments have impacted employee connection. However, we still hear how hard it can feel to promote teamwork, collaboration, and shared productivity.
Fortunately, we also have clients who embraced this new model — using virtual events as a way to connect their teams in new and meaningful ways.
Positivity in Action: A Client Story
That’s exactly what happened with Dome Construction. Dome’s Director of Innovation and Learning, Steve Long, made it a priority to connect his team through virtual events. He enlisted Grin Events and our virtual game show for its remote team building benefits. The events proved so effective that he invited us back again and again — hosting virtual corporate events with multiple groups across his company.
We sat down with Steve to talk about why he hired Grin and his experiences. You can watch the full interview below.
The Power of Positivity at Work
One key takeaway was the importance of positivity and fun, even in the workplace.
“Positivity can spiral up… If we’re all positive, we create positivity, which creates positivity. But one way to get that positivity is through fun. And that positivity, if you can build that cycle, then you get people that are contributing to things that you didn’t even realize they were going to be able to do.” — Steve Long
We couldn’t agree more! As adults, many of us have forgotten how to have fun — and why a positive attitude matters. As our founder, John Grindle, said:
“If we can remind people that fun is important and it’s okay to have fun at work with your colleagues, if nothing else, that’s a huge win.” — John Grindle
If you want to spiral up the positivity at your next event, we’d love to help.
