The last few years have been challenging for many workers, especially now that many have become remote workers. From pandemic concerns to family and childcare concerns to economic and of course workplace needs - employees sometimes struggle to feel connected with their team at work when they do not see them in a physical office every day. Regular standup meetings, usually short in duration, can help workers feel engaged with each other. They can feel valued when there is an open time and place for sharing informally about their day or their current needs. These brief meetings can also foster a sense of team spirit that can carry over into regular project work.

What exactly qualifies a place of business as an amazing workplace, or a great place to work? It’s a question well worth considering since there has been a tectonic shift in recent years in the way we view employee experience and satisfaction at our jobs.
