The Journyx team held an unconventional team building event where they watched popular TED Talks while eating tasty tacos from Torchy's Tacos. They viewed talks from Steve Jobs on living life to the fullest and one on achieving work-life balance. Events like this that bring employees together can boost efficiency by strengthening bonds between coworkers and helping the workplace feel less disconnected.
1. WE DID SOMETHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY
If you work in an office, you know how hard it can be to get employees to
participate in team building events. Usually they're boring or awkward or
irrelevant - or a combination of all three. At Journyx, we won't settle for that!
Last Tuesday, the Journyx team got together and polished off some very tasty
Torchy’s Tacos and watched TED Talks. (Notice the "T" theme?) We
watched two popular TED Talks in our conference room as we munched on
our lunch. Here are links to the Talks we watched - you still have time to grab
your taco!
Steve Jobs: How To Live Before You Die
Nigel Marsh: How To Make Work-life Balance Work
It’s worth it to do something fun and out of the norm for your office that will
get your team excited (or at least bring them together). Sometimes the
2. workplace can seem disconnected. Bonding is great for co-workers and has
statically been proven to jumpstart efficiency. With an event like this, who
can complain? Especially if you fill your mind AND your tummy at the same
time!
What are things you’ve done in your office to open up the workplace?
Anything you want to try?
