Is Strong Team Spirit Possible When You Work 100% Remotely?

13 February 2023 · by InterNations_CC

Our team members discuss team bonding when working from home.

Is strong team spirit possible when you work 100% remotely?

Three members of the InterNations team answer this question with a resounding “yes”. Miriam (Team Lead Community Engagement), Karsten (Team Lead Software Engineering), and Kiki (Feel Good Manager) believe that team bonding in a remote setting is different — but just as cool.

Top 5 Reasons for Every Company to Invest in a Team Trip

9 May 2022 · by Margit Grobbel

The Wednesday before last, the InterNations Team stepped off a coach at Munich’s Central Bus Station, slightly bleary-eared, but happy.

They’d just returned from a three-day company retreat in the Austrian Alps.

Obviously, a corporate team-building trip is a considerable investment in terms of time and money. But, if done right, it will be worth it in the long run.

Read on for some reasons why every company should send their team on a corporate retreat. Especially now.
