How to Set Up Virtual Team-Building Activities That Actually Work

Updated on : 07 Nov 2024

Ever felt a bit awkward during remote team-building? You’re not alone! In this newsletter, I’m sharing some real, no-nonsense virtual team-building activities that actually work (yes, even if you’re British-level reserved about it, like me).

In the newsletter, I’ll cover:

Quick coffee chats (no work talk allowed)
Five-minute games that are actually fun
Recipe swap lunches and quirky happy hours
A team playlist everyone can contribute to

These ideas are all about creating those “break room” moments we miss in remote work—without the cheese factor.

Michael Brodie is the founder of VirtualStaff.ph and the creator of the VirtualStaff Seat System, a modern alternative to traditional outsourcing and offshore staffing agencies.

After years of seeing business owners struggle with inflated markups, recruiter-driven hiring, and unreliable offshore models, Michael set out to build something different — not another job board, not another BPO, but a system.

The result was VirtualStaff.ph: a plug-and-play way for businesses to build dependable, full-time back-office teams in the Philippines — without salary padding, outsourcing firm markups, or long-term lock-ins.

Through VirtualStaff Seats, businesses can add reliable Filipino staff directly into their operations — one Seat at a time — for roles like customer support, admin, billing, bookkeeping, and back-office operations.

Today, businesses across the US, Australia, and the UK use the VirtualStaff Seat System to build stable, long-term teams that simply work — while staying in full control.
