Although it’s not a requirement, it certainly helps company morale if your office has a good balance of fun, community-building events and a focus on physical activity that boosts productivity.
This team created the first “Week-long United Shore Summer Olympic Games,” giving the more than 1,600 people who work for this business a way to enjoy one another’s company, get outside and hang out in a unique way.
The Games went something like this: United Shore has its 1,600 employees all within different wings of its five-floor building. Each wing of the building (which contain multiple teams) represents a specific country, including Italy, Australia, Germany, Ireland, Brazil, Japan and Argentina.
Activities varied throughout the five days. On Monday, there was a scavenger hunt and a floor-decorating contest began. On Tuesday, the Summer Team Members organized something called Shuttle Scrabble and Minute to Win It.
The entire program is coordinated and run by United Shore’s Summer Team Members as one of their big collective projects. From the look of the pictures, it seems like this was an impressive team-building event that brought the enjoyment of summer and the Olympics into this inventive office.
