Today's Employee Engagement Challenge
Most employee engagement activities and employee engagement programs struggle with the same problems:
- Remote and hybrid employees feel disconnected from traditional workplace engagement activities
- Traditional team engagement activities exclude non-athletes and different fitness levels
- Most employee engagement software focuses on tracking metrics, not building connection
- Teams want employee engagement ideas that feel fun, meaningful, and inclusive
Our employee engagement platform solves this by creating shared experiences through team engagement activities that emphasize movement, stories, and connection—not just individual competition.
Employee Engagement That Works
Racery's employee engagement software turns wellness into a collective journey that builds camaraderie, boosts morale, and strengthens company culture.
- Team-based competition
- Story-driven virtual routes
- Inclusive activity tracking
- Photo sharing & shoutouts
- Digital awards & milestones
Employee Engagement Ideas for Modern Teams
The best employee engagement ideas combine physical activity, social connection, and meaningful purpose. Here are proven employee engagement activities and team engagement activities that work for remote, hybrid, and on-site teams:
Quarterly Engagement Challenges
Run short employee engagement activities to reset morale, promote well-being, or support seasonal goals through our employee engagement platform.
Department Team Building
Create friendly competition between departments, offices, or global teams with team engagement activities that bring people together.
Remote Employee Engagement
Build connection outside of meetings through virtual employee engagement activities and shared wellness journeys that combat isolation.
ERG & Heritage Month Programs
Combine employee engagement programs with Women's History Month, Black History Month, Pride, and Veterans Day for meaningful workplace engagement activities.
Virtual Team Building Activities That Drive Connection
Traditional virtual team building activities often feel forced or exclude team members. Our employee engagement software creates virtual team building activities that feel natural and inclusive.
Beyond Basic Virtual Team Building Activities
Unlike typical virtual team building activities focused on games or competitions, our employee engagement platform creates virtual team building activities through:
- Shared wellness goals where virtual team building activities combine movement with storytelling
- Team-based challenges where employees work together toward virtual destinations and milestones
- Photo sharing and social feeds that make virtual team building activities feel personal and connected
- Inclusive activity options ensuring all team members can participate in virtual team building activities
Virtual Engagement Activities Examples
Popular virtual engagement activities and workplace engagement activities on our employee engagement platform include:
- Cross-departmental team challenges with leaderboards and friendly competition
- Heritage month journeys combining virtual employee engagement with education and belonging
- Charity fundraising challenges where teams combine wellness goals with purpose
- Seasonal reset programs using employee engagement activities to boost morale quarterly
Example: A 3-Week Employee Engagement Challenge
Many companies looking for employee engagement ideas run quick engagement "burst" challenges to rebuild morale or support quarterly wellness goals. A typical employee engagement program includes:
- Employees join teams based on departments, ERGs, regions, or cross-functional groups for team engagement activities
- Everyone logs activities—walking, yoga, meditation, cycling, strength training—through our employee engagement software
- Teams "travel" across virtual routes with real photos, stories, and milestones in virtual team building activities
- Photos, comments, and shoutouts create a lively social feed for virtual employee engagement
- Digital awards and milestones reinforce participation in workplace engagement activities
Results: Increased connection, improved morale, and strengthened company culture through meaningful employee engagement activities.
