Did your work life change during and after the pandemic?

Back then, onboarding meant handshakes, team lunches and casual office chats. But when movement was restricted, welcoming new colleagues became a challenge. How do we make sure everyone feels welcomed and engaged when we are all behind screens?

HumanCap had fresh faces joining us remotely. To break the ice and keep HumanCapients engaged despite the distance, we hosted fun weekly quizzes where everyone answered ten quickfire questions on different topics. We even had “Who Knows Me Best” sessions to see who knew each other best. It was simple but effective. Laughter filled our virtual calls, and those small moments kept us connected.

This experience taught us that while tools like Microsoft Teams and Trello make communication easier, real engagement takes more than just technology. The right HR strategy ensures employees feel valued, motivated and connected, whether in the office or working remotely.

This is what we do at HumanCap. We help organisations build HR strategies that maximise engagement, ensuring the processes and tools in places are not just focusing on enhancing operational efficiency, but also building human connection and enrich employee experience within the organisation.

How does your organisation get you motivated and engaged at work?
