New-hire week is 14 logins, SSO, Notion, Jira, and zero humans. What HR can run in Slack or Teams in week one so people meet teammates without a speech.
Transform traditional icebreakers into engaging activities that foster connection among remote teams. Use trivia, Pictionary, and team quizzes to create a comfortable environment for new hires.
Classic icebreakers put new hires on a stage. What HR should run in Slack or Teams instead: quizzes, Pictionary, and Know Your Team.
Honestly, Trivia is a blessing. We are able to humanize in a way that was not happening earlier. Like I love the Virtual Coffee feature, it's a great way to break the ice. I have seen so many instances where the Virtual Coffee pairings have fostered strong bonds. We’ve seen people discussing topics outside of work.

Trivia has been the perfect ice-breaker for new joiners. It's all about bringing people together in a certain space and time and watching them have fun and bond. The goal we had in mind with Trivia was to encourage and empower new joiners to gel with their existing teammates, and what better way than to do it in the form of fun quizzes and games.
We love Trivia at Hatch. It’s the perfect employee engagement app for remote organizations like us. Oh, we are competitive, and it's fun to see people showing off their skills and knowledge in the quizzes. We like it because it's in the moment; you either ace it or not, but everyone knows it will be there again tomorrow, and they have another chance. You don’t have to invest a lot of time and effort there. It’s meant to be enjoyed, and our team does that.
