Vincit is a 600-employee company that designs and implements web services, mobile applications and embedded systems. Ville Houttu, CEO of Vincit USA, shares his experience with SmoothTeam simulations.

Teleworking is distancing

Vincit USA has grown rapidly during the pandemic, and the company has hired dozens of new employees. Some employees work daily in offices in California and Arizona, others come to the office a few days a week, others work completely remotely.

Social isolation is a major threat to workers' well-being. SmoothTeam simulations have been a very energising support for our employees during this culture change.

Simulations help with induction and spreading company culture

The orientation of remote workers is the first and therefore the most important impression of what it is like to work at Vincit. SmoothTeam simulations are a very effective way to get to know new teammates and share expectations about how we work together as a team. This makes the orientation phase more efficient and also more fun!

Thanks to the structure of SmoothTeam simulations, each participant gets something valuable and useful from the simulation experience. This is not the case for all other remote team exercises.

Tailor-made simulations also provide a meaningful way to learn about a company's culture and values. This helps employees connect with the company and their team.

SmoothTeam increases engagement

It's also interesting to get to know all the members of the team better. The simulation also helps you to get to know better those teammates with whom you work less - this creates bonds and increases communication.

Simulations also generate useful discussions in groups that might otherwise have difficulty engaging in deeper discussions. Often, simulations bring difficult issues to the fore and reveal hidden pain points.

I recommend SmoothTeam to energise teleworkers

I recommend you try SmoothTeam simulations! They could well become an integral part of your company's induction and employee engagement.
