Why Team Building Activities are Important for a Remote Healthcare Workforce?

11-27-2023 | By Devore Recruiting Blog Posts

Team building activities for a remote or hybrid healthcare workforce

The landscape of healthcare is evolving, and so is the way healthcare professionals work. With the rise of telehealth and the integration of digital solutions, remote work has become increasingly prevalent in the healthcare industry.

While these changes bring forth numerous advantages, they also present unique challenges, particularly when it comes to fostering a sense of unity among remote healthcare teams.

The Rise of Remote Work in Healthcare

In recent years, remote work has transformed the healthcare sector. Telehealth and digital health solutions have enabled healthcare professionals to provide services from virtually anywhere.

In fact, 45% of US companies and employers offer a remote work option to their employees. According to Forbes’ statistics, full-time remote workers are at 12.7% in total this year while 28.2% are on a hybrid setup clearly showing how remote work has risen over the last few years and is still expected to grow.

This shift has not only improved accessibility for patients but has also opened up new possibilities for healthcare workers putting them at the top list.

Out of the 16 million healthcare employees, 17% are working remotely or have telecommuting jobs. Other top niches with the highest count of remote workers are in the Education, Retail, and Manufacturing sectors.

Team Building in a Remote or Hybrid Healthcare Environment

Team building is crucial in any work environment, but it takes on added significance in the context of remote or hybrid healthcare teams. A cohesive team not only enhances the quality of patient care but also contributes to the overall satisfaction and well-being of healthcare professionals.

Some benefits of team building on the work environment are:

  • Improved Collaboration – Fosters a sense of trust and teamwork, leading to better collaboration.
  • Higher Employee Morale – Engaging activities boost morale, job satisfaction, and reduce stress.
  • Building Trust – Develops trust and respect, laying the foundation for strong working relationships.
  • Identification of Strengths and Weaknesses – Helps teams understand each other’s strengths and weaknesses for optimal utilization of skills.
  • Conflict Resolution Skills – Develops skills to address conflicts constructively, ensuring a healthy work environment.
  • Positive Organizational Culture – Contributes to a positive culture, attracting and retaining top talent.
  • Employee Well-Being – Incorporates well-being activities for a healthier work-life balance.

Challenges in Remote Healthcare Team Building

Despite the benefits of remote work, healthcare teams face unique challenges in building a sense of unity. Communication barriers, the risk of isolation, and the absence of face-to-face interactions can hinder the development of strong team dynamics.

Additionally, healthcare professionals may experience unique stressors related to the nature of their work, making it essential to address these challenges proactively.

Strategies for Remote Healthcare Team Building

Navigating the challenges of remote team building in healthcare. Here are some proven tips and guides you can try to ease things out:

Virtual Team Building Activities

Engage your team with activities that promote collaboration and team bonding. Virtual escape rooms, online trivia, and team challenges can create a sense of camaraderie.

Leverage Communication Tools

Leverage communication tools to bridge the gap between team members. Video conferencing, instant messaging, and project management platforms facilitate efficient communication and collaboration.

Regular Check-ins

Schedule regular team meetings and check-ins to maintain connection and provide a platform for open communication. This helps ensure that team members feel heard and supported.

Recognition and Appreciation

Recognize and appreciate the efforts of remote team members. Implement virtual recognition programs, celebrate achievements, and create a culture of appreciation to boost morale.

Virtual Team Training

Invest in virtual training opportunities for your healthcare team. Ongoing professional development not only enhances skills but also fosters a culture of continuous learning and growth.

 

In conclusion, building a strong and unified remote healthcare team requires intentional effort and the implementation of tailored strategies. As the healthcare industry continues to embrace remote work, adopting these practices will not only enhance team dynamics but also contribute to the overall success and well-being of healthcare professionals.

"Bita is EXACTLY what our facility needs. We have been working for a while at changing our image. She has joined us at precisely the right time. She is knowledgeable (extremely), hard working and committed to Quality Care. Because she is new, some leadership is challenging her, but she can handle it. The licensed nurses and CNAs LOVE her. She already has had a very positive impact. I am extremely grateful"
