But virtual offices doesn't have that allowance of physical meetings to foster company culture. How then can company culture be inspired in a virtual office where employees work remotely? Below are some tips and strategies that can help.

2) Respect Individuality: Staff members in a virtual office would believe in your company and propagate the established culture of the company when the company also respects the individuality of the staff members. Recognise specific holidays in specific locations of staff and acknowledge personal non work related achievements of staff.
3) Organize Virtual Fun Events: Engaging staff of virtual offices in fun events like games and shows that are non work related can create a viable avenue to create strong bonds beyond work amongst staff members which would boost a strong company culture.
