5 Ways to Maintain Company Culture Post-COVID
While some teams will be returning to the office soon, others may continue to work remotely. During this period of transition and distributed team members, we've got five easy ways to make everyone feel like part of the team.
1. Identify tech tools + best practices
Be clear about your company's communication channels and how they should be used
Prioritize daily communication using these tools with team members across all locations
Create designated online spaces for personal updates, sharing articles, or even cute pictures of pets
POPPIN TIP:
Use a PoppinPod with a mounted screen to create a dedicated space in the office to communicate with WFH employees.
2. Communicate brand identity, values + priorities
Ensure monthly, quarterly, and annual priorities are clear across the company
Create a branded experience for remote workers to use in their home offices
Help every team member create a consistent workspace at home and in the office
POPPIN TIP:
Use Poppin's WFH program to make it easy for employees to shop for on-brand furniture and office supplies for their home offices.
3. Host consistent company-wide meetings
Short, weekly company-wide meetings allow teams to offer insight into what they're working on
Monthly or quarterly All Hands meetings make everyone feel up-to-date on the state of the company
Regularly share success stories in these meetings or a dedicated channel
POPPIN TIP:
Brand Poppin notebooks with your company's core values to give out as awards for team members recognized by the company.
4. Implement trainings + activities
Allow employees to vote on trainings and activities they'd like the company to invest in
Whether they choose Slack training or a Zoom yoga session, shared engagement brings employees together
POPPIN TIP:
Use flexible furniture in shared spaces that allows you to transform a socially-distant conference room into a training space for in-office employees.
5. Encourage small group and 1x1 connections
Transform your office into a space that supports small, socially-distant meetings
Create small personal interest groups (think book clubs, recipe exchanges...)
Match employees at random to schedule a time to connect virtually or IRL
POPPIN TIP:
A socially-distant office doesn't have to be lonely! Use tools like clear Acrylic Protective Shields to create a safe space without losing the communicative feel of the open office.
