Singapore companies’ requirements for online teambuilding
- The two most popular platforms for online team building sessions are Zoom and Microsoft Teams. Some companies are not allowed to use Zoom, but Microsoft Teams works equally well for all virtual events.
- Most Singaporean companies looking for online activities are prioritizing fun, team bonding, improving cooperation in the virtual environment, socializing online rather than in person and taking advantage of virtual travel.
- Most of our Singaporean clients are asking for the activity to be fun but also challenging and engaging. They are often looking for a competitive element so the activities must be tough but not too hard.

The majority of organizations are asking us for two to three-hour events usually in the afternoon or at the end of a working day.

A lot of people are also looking for team building activities to be included with their end of year celebrations and ‘Dinner & Dances’.
