Finding the motivation to get through the work week is not always straightforward. Many factors can play into an employee's mood: house chores, traffic, commuting to work, family responsibilities, and even owning a pet can be a cause of stress, on top of keeping up with their workload.
On the other hand, having a laugh with their peers can improve their overall attitude and help them connect with people they've probably only met through a screen.
Working remotely has completely changed the scenario for employees, especially those used to commuting with others and sharing lunch breaks or cups of coffee.
However, the lack of interaction with others can lead employees to isolate themselves and find their work environment unenjoyable. Finding ways to keep them motivated and sharing funny moments with their teammates is essential.
Consider this: as of 2023, an estimated 28% of employees globally work remotely at some capacity, facing challenges from the organization, distribution of duties and schedule management. But, possibly the biggest dare is maintaining the team in constant communication whilst not overwhelming them with countless emails and notifications.
While platforms have been providing tools to keep work schedules on track, many lack features to create a truly interactive and engaging environment. Despite diverse communication tools like Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Trello, Zoom, companies sometimes overlook the importance of fostering interaction, especially for building strong teams.
Ultimately, while collaboration is essential, building a cohesive and energized remote team requires more than just shared tasks and goals.
One of the easiest ways to keep an interactive, fun and diverse work environment is by sharing funny work memes that relate to their day-to-day situations. To give you a little hand, we've come up with a few examples:
“That meeting could have been an email” and “this is a waste of time” are, unfortunately, common expressions during remote working.
Some companies failed to adapt to the hybrid or totally remote way of doing work. Meeting in the office is expected, but one of the advantages of working remotely is how much room for productivity there is, which ultimately helps ideas become facts faster.
