Our team has been mostly remote (8-9 members) but I do realise the value in offline meetings (formal as well as informal). Haven't done many informal offline meetups yet.
Some members are in a different city/state, so calling them for a trip just to meet informally for a few hours is dicey since budgets are tight. And we don't do "team building exercises" online , I feel that concept is a little forced and unnecessary.
Any suggestions? Thoughts on offline interaction frequency in general? Do's and don'ts?
Start with low frequency (twice a year?) and increase it only as and when the team demands it. This way you can find what works best for your team.
Don't do random team building exercises, they don't work IMO. Have focussed high-priority / decision-making / brainstorming discussions only. You can also have other fun stuff like travelling together and partying for bonding after office hours.
Great! Keep doing. Nothing beats team bonding. It’s invaluable
You can aim for once every quarter; in the last week.

Been thinking about how remote work has changed the game for new hires. At my company, we've had to completely overhaul our onboarding process. It's been a real challenge trying to make newbies feel part of the team when they've never ev...
