👏 August Hub Action Plan: Team Engagement

Summer might be winding down, but that doesn’t mean it has to be back to business as usual. There’s one part of everyone’s job that could use some serious sprucing up. Yep, you guessed it…team meetings!

We’re saying good riddance to boring morning huddles and mundane midday touch points this August and beyond. It’s time to bring culture to the conference room and spark more engagement, connection, and momentum across your team.

PLUS: We’re giving you a bingo sheet of ideas to make your meetings more fun with ice breakers, games, and more! Check it out here.

Have you heard about Hubbux Teams? It’s Culturello’s employee brand membership platform that works in tandem with your Hub. Within the platform there’s an innovative team meetings feature called Places. Think of it as a refreshing, interactive, and fun twist on traditional team meetings. Below we will share our ideas on how to get the most out of team meetings… with and without using Places. (But, to be clear, we are strongly in favor!)

Start with a quick icebreaker. Get people talking and build camaraderie! Fun prompts or a mini game sets a positive tone right from the start. With Places: Find hundreds of fun questions, ice breakers, games, and other engagement-driving activities within the Marketplace. Want a preview of what you can expect in Places?

Keep it short and intentional. Data shows that people lose focus after 10 minutes if there’s no engagement or stimulation, so try to bucket your meeting into intervals of fun, while still keeping it trim and sharp.
Make it interactive. Take live polls, celebrate recent wins, or turn important updates into short quizzes to keep energy up! With Places: Use the platform’s Question blocks to easily add the moments of engagement above.
Shine a spotlight on your team. Recognize birthdays, milestones, and standout contributions. People love to feel seen and celebrated. In Places: Use the platform’s Spotlight blocks to celebrate the moments above.
Leverage tools that boost accessibility. Places are accessible to everyone on their Hubbux app! So even those working-from-home will stay in the loop.

If you’re already using Hubbux Teams, here’s when you should be using Places:

During your morning huddles! It’s challenging to come up with engaging games and ice breakers everyday—so let the platform handle that for you.
For weekly all-hands. Do you connect with your team every Monday? Make the ritual more fun and watch engagement soar.
As a one-off connection moment. If your team is remote, but you’re looking for ways to connect with them, creating a Place is a great way to start.
