Our HR team is trying to figure out the best ways to keep our staff engaged and make sure our remote employees aren’t feeling left out of things. We do bring in some staff periodically but it’s not always feasible every time. Anyone that works in remote companies or positions have recommendations for engagement and retention strategies?

Our company does different team building events where we have a virtual drink or coffee and play online games. We also have a group that meets regularly outside of work for team bonding outside of working hours.

Out of curiosity, what online games? And what games are the most fun?

Typically, when remote workers are less engaged, it's because they don't feel as included in the culture.

These 3 things usually help:

1. Make remote the norm. Don't make remote workers feel more like outsiders. If you have hybrid meetings, make sure everyone attending in person is also on video.

2. Arrange offsites. Meeting your remote colleagues in person at a non-office location gives positive effects that last around 4 months.

3. Set up a good remote work tool. I'm not talking slack and zoom. Instead, something like ReSocialize.

If you are doing a lot of free lunches to encourage RTO, you might think about sending door dash gift cards to your remote employees every so often.

Is just a hiring manager int. so obvi nothing guaranteed. Salary if offered will be more than 150k. My question is should I accept the interview and see where it goes? Is it really worth it to proceed with a company like Amazon for 25k+. I live in CA so $ is imp but I do have a toddler so WLB is also imp. Both role are Sr. MGR.
