Re-Onboarding teams
returning to office

Getting together outside of work. Belacom, a software distribution company with twenty or so employees, set up seminars every six months to experience adventures that go beyond sanitary constraints. They noted a very positive effect on the teams, allowing stress relief.

Take risks away from the office. It was found that risk-taking during these recreational events reinforced risk-taking in the business. Moreover, the employees all agree in describing the company as a big family. Proof that completely disconnected moments from daily office life allow for better collaboration at work and the success of projects.

Promote flexible work and human interaction. Gensler, for its part, pointed out the importance of flexibility: employees choose where they work and when they do that. The pandemic highlighted the importance of human connections and how valuable human interaction is. The challenge is rethinking our cities with a more resilient and available environment, flexible work hours, happiness and belonging.

Organise external events to benefit internal work. At Highline, we also chose to combine relaxation with risk-taking outside of work by playing escape games, eating in a park or restaurant at lunchtime, organising after-work parties and celebrating the agency’s records. It is a way to recognize the work of each employee, but also to better know each other outside the challenging work environment.
