What are the ways to increase the mental wellbeing of a team working remotely?
by•
Most of the teams have currently been working remotely due to Coronavirus pandemic, and it affects our mental well-being to be far away from our co-workers. Which ways do you follow to feel better, and make your co-workers feel better? What ways do you follow to make it feel like working together in a physical office/studio?
I'm the founder of Echo and I'd love to work with you on this topic. The biggest decrease that we've seen in mental wellbeing is caused by a lack of collaboration and/or inclusion. If there are ways that we can work together on meetings, or collaborate on notes, make meeting content more available, this creates the feeling of inclusion. FOMO is a huge influencing factor to wellbeing. I'd love to hear what your conclusions are on this topic though @aleynacatak
We have questioned this too! I believe it has to do with equilibrium. Finding the right balance between sprints and productive mornings and more lay back afternoons with the team. We have tried from playing games online, to sharing personal pictures on camera. All works well.
We have also developed a product on those lines as we think this will be a need for many other teams, you can check it out here: https://onsite.fun

Don't know if this will help, but I just published a blog on indoor plants and their effect on mental health maybe you can glean something from it here is the link. Sometimes the simplest most out of the box solutions work best https://aahomegardening.co.uk/pl...
I try snack-sized workouts that are available at fxgetactive.com - playing as a team can be fun and this eventually is a stress buster.

I guess finding ways to connect and engage with each other outside of work i.e playing an online game together.
Each person should also find ways to improve their wellbeing outside of work.
