Despite what the headlines say, remote working is on the rise. Forbes has predicted that the number of full-time remote employees will rise to 22% this year.
One of the biggest advantages of remote work is the autonomy and work/life balance it offers. 71% of employees say remote work gives them more control over their day-to-day. With hybrid work continuing to rise in popularity, it’s super clear that people are craving some flexibility and independence in their professional lives.
Despite the increase in popularity, we get that it’s not always smooth sailing for remote workers. Many remote teams report a feeling of disconnection within the team. In fact, 53% of remote workers say it’s harder to feel connected to their coworkers. A whopping 69% of remote workers say they’ve experienced an increase in burnout from digital communication tools.
Other challenges include struggles with collaboration, navigating different time zones and increased sedentary behavior. Even casual chats during the day, or spontaneous post-work gatherings, play a vital role in improving connections and general team spirit.
We believe that curated team retreats are the solution to sustain productivity and growth in remote teams. Remote thought leader Darcy Marie Mayfield recommends that remote companies should meet in person between 2-4 times per year. Team retreats are necessary to renew focus and creativity, recharge, improve connections and align company goals.
Dropbox adopted a virtual first model in 2020, which saw employee engagement and when they introduced in-person retreats, employee retention skyrocketed.
Doist recognizes that in-person collaboration is key for sustaining a remote work model - their yearly retreats “bond the team together and reignite energy in what [they’re] working towards.”
Nansen discovered that shared experiences on team retreats improve employee identity and belonging within the company.
