Online Team Building to achieve High Performance Teams in the era of Teleworking
The Key to manage your staff and keep your teams active and committed
For some, Teleworking is here to stay.
75% of companies will have some remote teams in the future.
Maintaining the productivity of teamwork and competencies such as cohesion, commitment and motivation is more important than ever.
It is well known that teleworking or remote working can be beneficial for both the employee (reconciliation of personal and work life, flexibility of schedules ...) and the company (lower costs, work for objectives ...). However, a non face-to-face teamwork presents new challenges and requires a perfect remote management and coordination of the members also working remotely, to maintain essential aspects such as, among others, commitment, productivity, motivation, synergies between members, communication and social relationships. Yes, teleworking also highlights the importance of socialization and sense of belonging, that result from coffee moments and hallway conversations.
Feel closer than ever, working remotely.
In order to cover these new needs, at IOLO PLANET we have developed an Online Team Building Program to continue helping companies to keep their teams connected, engaged and in high performance, to face the new times of teleworking better than ever.
It is a 100% online program based on small results-oriented activities and group dynamics through video calling and/or digital platforms:
Online Escape Room | Office Live Trivial | Managing Time | Design Thinking | Solve it with Scrum | ¿Guess who?: Important vs. Urgent | Magic Excel vs Power Point | Mindfulness and many other games…
The program allows the team to:
Design a customized solution according to the needs of the team
Meet the team members on a recurring basis, before each workday, twice a week, ...
Interact with teammates by playing in the different dynamics. They will be useful to catch us up, to know what we are all working on, to get to know each other a little bit more and to cover all the café and hallway talks.
Develop skills within the framework of the TOP 10 Key Competences needed to achieve High Performance Teams (see)

Why is it important to promote the Team Building during teleworking?
The global health crisis of coronavirus has forced companies around the world to adjust to the governmental measures and restrictions of each country, with the aim of mitigating the effects of the transmission of Covid-19. Health comes first, and every effort should be made to "flatten the curve" and minimize the number of those affected by the virus.
As we know, non-essential stores and shops have closed their doors and most workers, SMEs and large companies, have been forced to work remotely from their homes.
This has required a rapid digitization of companies to try to maintain their activity and turnover. In this sense, thousands of companies have launched their own online store or joined a home delivery platform/Marketplace.
However, ALL companies have had to adapt to a new reality: remote workforce management. Surely, working occasionally remotely was not alien to many professionals, but doing it permanently confronts us with an unusual challenge:
Manage the entire staff remotely, confined to their homes and during an uncertain period of time.
How long will the confinement last?
Will we be able to return to the office when government restrictions are lifted?
Will we all come back at once?
Will some companies keep remote work?
Can international teams meet with the same frequency?
We still don't have an answer to all these questions. But we know for sure is that this teleworking stage will lead to a before and after era: teleworking is here to stay.
At IOLO PLANET we know that keeping teams engaged and with high performance is not an easy task, and it is even more difficult with remote teams. For that reason, it is essential to work on certain teamwork skills.
It is absolutely necessary to keep the team active, motivated, committed, guarantee a proper communication, efficiency, results orientation, moments for rest, creativity, and a long etcetera.
Thanks to several research studies based on the characteristics that determine high performance teams and thanks to our accumulated experience with our Purpose & Return model, we have been able to identify, group and sequentially classify the 10 key competences that are essential to develop and create High Performance Teams.
TOP 10 Key Competences needed to achieve High Performance Teams:
1. Company Culture, Sense of Belonging and Commitment
2. Motivation, Energy and Proactivity
3. Communication and Self-confidence
4. Respect, Inclusion and Diversity
5. Cohesion and Trust
6. Results-oriented Organization and Productivity
7. Decision Making, Recognition and Self-Realization
8. Out of the Box Creativity and Innovation
9. Leadership, Persuasion and People Management
10. Celebrating Success and Team Reward
At IOLO PLANET all our Team Building activities are based on the development of these skills: so far we have designed face-to-face events to help companies work and develop them according to their needs on each occasion.
Although now the paradigm has changed and teleworking has become the "new normal" for many companies, the Team Building is more necessary than ever to keep work teams active, engaged and with high performance.
