My walking buddy told me about how a department lead kicked off a virtual staff meeting for her organization. He had a scavenger hunt. The manager posted a list of ten items on the team’s GroupMe app. Employees rushed around their homes to find everyday items: toothbrush, paperback novel, tv remote, candle, Airpods, olive oil, and so on. The activity took less than ten minutes, and it set the tone for a fun, upbeat virtual meeting.
