Read Full ArticleThis Dublin-based digital office platform gives employees the opportunity to create their own virtual Christmas office.
In light of the government’s new Plan B restrictions, Yonderdesk is determined to make sure that dispersed team members don't miss out on the festive vibes that employees enjoy in a physical office.
Yonderdesk – which creates bespoke virtual buildings for businesses large and small – has been encouraging team members to decorate their own virtual offices in the run-up to Christmas.

When a company signs up with the Yonderdesk platform, its employees are able to create their very own offices that can be seen on a virtual floor plan. It is right here in the employees' private virtual spaces that they can welcome colleagues and visitors into their room for meetings and chats.
These offices can be redecorated as often as employees like, and this year Yonderdesk's own team is certainly embracing the festive opportunities this affords. "Creating your own virtual Christmas office is just one of many ways for remote-working employees to feel a little more involved and connected to their colleagues and the wider workplace," says director, Ben Wainwright. "We can't wait to see what the team – and our clients – come up with."
The Christmas opportunities don't end there: clients are also able to spruce up their virtual lobbies, while group gatherings in breakout rooms are just the thing for virtual Christmas parties.
