How Has Your Team Replaced the Water Cooler Chat?
With virtual and hybrid teams, new ideas are needed for building and maintaining connections with colleagues
With many of us working remotely or in the office part time, opportunities for spontaneous conversations or chance encounters with colleagues – often referred to as “water cooler” chats – are less common.
But these moments can play a key role in building relationships and creating a healthy office culture.
For a future story, tell us how you've replicated the “water cooler” in your remote or hybrid workplace.
And, if you're fully on-site but missing people who are remote, how are you staying connected?
