Co-design meaningful team bonding rituals other than check-ins
Consider weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or quarterly recurring meetings:
Team lunch or coffee break -> schedule a time for the team to have lunch or coffee together over video chat
Virtual traveling -> schedule a time for the team to visit via Google maps & photos places worth seeing based on your experiences
Happy hours to share plans & visions, and celebrate wins -> schedule time where team can connect and chat about plans & wins
Knowledge sharing -> schedule time for sharing new things done or knowledge acquired. Share both, successes, and failures
Game nights -> schedule a time for the team to play games.
