THANKSGIVING: 17 WAYS TO CELEBRATE REMOTELY

Skipping the in-person Thanksgiving Day celebration with the team? No problem! Here are the best virtual events for you and the remote team!

Every year, on the fourth Thursday of November, the Thanksgiving holiday in the USA annually occurs. Thanksgiving Day is meant to celebrate the harvest of the year’s autumn season, and the blessings received from the past year. When the pandemic crisis first surged, many working individuals and business people were not prepared to absorb the abrupt changes within the organizations.

Research by Leslie Perlow of Harvard Business School revealed that interactions between colleagues during the pandemic were lost. Because of it, we are not allowed to engage in in-person just yet socially. But looking on the bright side, the importance of engaging an organization was remarkably harnessed during these trying times. And as we know it all, technology has made everything possible in building a bridge for teams to be involved in different virtual meetings.

Exciting Virtual Events for Remote Work Thanksgiving Day Celebration

Now that times have changed, we all succumb to the idea of staying in our respective places or locations. The CDC even recommends the virtual Thanksgiving celebration. Thus, pushing many organizations to schedule a virtual setting for celebrating holidays such as Thanksgiving. I’m pretty sure the team is itching for epic ways to loosen up their work gauges a little.
