Now that diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives are at the top of everyone's minds when looking for a new employer, it's vital that you're doing more than hiring diverse people.

Remote team building that centers around communicating effectively is vital to happy teams, especially since so much of our communication is through written emails, Slack messages, or virtual calls.
When working with people from different backgrounds, with different perspectives and ways of working, it's inevitable that stressful situations will arise now and then, and empathy is necessary to understanding. This activity focuses on learning healthy strategies to understand each other's non-verbal warning signs, as well as strategies to understand each other and get to know their team better.
Why is this a great DEI game? Diversity and inclusion efforts include making sure your employees feel like they have the tools they need to communicate safely with one another, especially when we aren't working face to face.
