Is transitioning to working remotely affecting your team's motivation?

10 ideas to keep your team happy and motivated

The notion of team gathers in the current context several new dimensions which, of course, require new approaches. Because we already went through this treasure hunt for ideas to maintain the cohesion of our team and also to enhance some of its aspects, we decided to share with you 10 activities that helped us strengthen the relations between the members so that we can perform at our best even from afar. We are true optimists and still hope from the bottom of our hearts to return to our beautiful office as soon as possible and to conduct face to face team buildings but, until then, here are some ideas that kept us close and brought a smile to our faces even on the cloudiest of days.

10 idei pentru menținerea echipei tale pe linia de plutire

Noțiunea de echipă găzduiește în contextul actual dimensiuni noi și presupune abordări pe măsură. De vreme ce noi am trecut deja prin acest treasure hunt al ideilor pentru a nu doar menține echipa unită, dar și pentru a îmbunătăți anumite aspecte ale coeziunii acesteia, ne-am hotărât să împărtășim cu voi 10 activități care pe noi ne-au ajutat să întărim relațiile dintre membri și să funcționăm optim chiar și la distanță. Suntem optimiști și încă sperăm să revenim cât de curând la activități de team building susținute față în față, dar până atunci iată câteva idei care pe noi ne-au ținut aproape și ne-au făcut să zâmbim chiar și în zilele înnorate și friguroase.

The current global context is redefining work and organizational cultures as we speak.

To help companies adapt to the new reality, our friends at The Inner View are holding a free webinar about Job Crafting. The aim of the webinar is to exchange experiences, best practices, real life examples, and zoom in on the process through which organizations can improve the working conditions for their staff.

As you may already know, we are a team of psychologists, so we have an intense sense of analyzing the consequences of every decision we make that affects our team, on several levels: productivity, well-being, confidence, motivation, future career. Remote work is one of those very important cases and we want to share the ideas we got from doing it.

For Human Direct, 2018 has been the best year this far.

A lot of great things happened, many accomplishment, events and fun celebrations.

Here is our recap of 2018.

Last month we celebrated our 7 years anniversary. 🎉

Given we super-excited about the IT Career Fair Cluj and other projects we had going on at that time, we decided to keep it simple and cozy.

And so we did.

But still, we couldn't just keep it to ourselves. So we figured we'd share it with the participants at the IT Career Fair who came to meet us there.

So we prepared our stand accordingly.

As you may have seen from our Facebook Page, we attended this year’s IT Career Fair in Cluj-Napoca.

And we’re very happy we did.

Especially for the fact that we met so many interesting people in search for that perfect job in IT.

And here is a short retrospective of what happened at the Cluj IT Fair this year.

Winter is coming they say, but meanwhile we’re mid November, which is the coziest month of the year. Not too cold, yet cold enough to stay inside with a pumpkin spice latte to keep you warm. Or you can skip the latte. Either way, this is the perfect time of the year to get tucked in blankets and have a good read or binge watching Netflix or enjoying a fun indoor activity. Speaking of which, there are some quite fun activities you can do in and around Cluj-Napoca.

The most important career event in Cluj-Napoca this fall is undoubtedly the IT Career Fair. It’s the 12th edition of this job fair, that gathers around 3.500 participants annually. This year, the event will gather over 40 local IT companies with very many exciting job opportunities for you. As an IT recruiting company in Cluj, of course we will also be there and we hope to meet you there too. Don’t miss it, it’s this weekend!
