Rising Team Releases Mini Kits, Expanding Its Team Development Platform to Serve Frequent Team Meetings and Front Line Workers

The Interactive Tool Boosts Trust and Engagement for Remote and In-Person Employees Across Industries

MENLO PARK, Calif., Dec. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Rising Team, the industry-leading team development platform helping companies build more connected and successful teams, today announces its introduction of its Mini Kits. A series of interactive team-building experiences, the Mini Kits are 10–15-minute sessions that help leaders increase trust and understanding on their teams, helping to boost team effectiveness.

In addition to the longer, more in-depth Leadership Development and Connection Kits that Rising Team previously introduced, leaders now have access to a full set of Mini Kits they can use for quick, meaningful team connection. Designed for both laptop and mobile use, Minis can be accessed by teams of all kinds, across levels, functions, remote or in-person workplaces and deskless workers. The Minis come in three types: "Connect" to build trust through personal storytelling, "Understand" to build insights about workplace preferences, and "Play" to have fun together as a team.

Rising Team's release of its Mini Kits comes during a time when employee morale and engagement is at an all-time low, with a Gallup poll showing only 32% of U.S. employees are actively engaged in the workplace. This new solution is purpose-built to improve team performance and engagement, positioning companies for higher retention rates, increased employee effectiveness, and overall employee satisfaction.

"Leaders today face unprecedented challenges, and the need for authentic connection within teams is more vital than ever," says Jennifer Dulski, Founder & CEO of Rising Team. "With the introduction of Rising Team Minis, we aim to provide a powerful tool that enables leaders everywhere to nurture trust, strengthen connections, and enhance team dynamics in a way that fits their demanding schedules. As an organization, we are proud to introduce Minis as part of our ongoing mission to equip all managers to lead more engaged, connected, and successful teams."

Several of Rising Team's customers have already begun using the Mini Kits to enhance their employees' experiences and engagement. Rory Thorp, Manager of Logistics at Carlile Transportation commented, "I really enjoy how the Mini Kits get everyone involved and allow us to get to know each other better while also keeping it fun. The team looks forward to it, and we'll be using Rising Team Minis on a weekly basis moving forward."

To access Mini Kits, team leaders can log into Rising Team and select from an extensive catalog of sessions by theme – Connect, Understand, and Play. To learn more about Rising Team, please visit risingteam.com, and access a free Rising Team Mini Kit for your team at risingteam.com/promo/mini.
