🏠 Remote Work Challenge: Team Connection Toolkit

Create a simple system (could be Notion template, Slack workflow, or custom solution) that helps our 50-person distributed team stay connected and productive without Zoom fatigue.

The Challenge:

Our fully remote team struggles with:

  • Feeling disconnected from colleagues
  • Information silos between departments
  • Meeting overload (average 6 hours/day on Zoom)
  • Async collaboration across 4 time zones
  • Maintaining company culture virtually

What We've Tried:

  • Daily standups (low attendance)
  • Virtual happy hours (awkward)
  • Slack channels (become ghost towns)
  • All-hands meetings (one-way communication)
