With fewer opportunities to physically connect, virtual teammates can easily fall into a trap of isolation. To win the lottery in business, you need to have a strong team that cares about each other and the work that they do.

These 6 free team-building activities designed for virtual teams are your first step to creating camaraderie and inspiring collaboration among remote employees.
