A Christmas ‘Do Isn’t Culture
** missing from this photo ... a very exciting team update 😉
A Xmas 'Do isn't 'culture' ...
Many of us business owners are guilty of putting on a Christmas do once a year… and calling that 'job done' on the culture front. 😬
My experience is that the more you invest in your team, the more enjoyable your work environment becomes - and the higher the level of performance.
One thing we’ve found really effective is running a team day every 90 days.
It’s a chance to:
get a fresh perspective
take time out to think
tackle some challenges together
and enjoy each other’s company.
( and crucially - eat some great food - a non-negotiable!)
Some of the comments from our team day yesterday were:
👉 “I’m really excited about the vision and where we’re going. I can picture it really clearly.”
👉 “I valued taking thinking time - it’s been too long since I’ve done that properly.”
👉 “I’m feeling more confident... like I can just back myself.”
We’ve landed on a simple structure- it takes less than 5-hrs to run, and gets the balance of connection and performance about right.
If you want a copy of our Team Day structure, get in touch, with the subject line ‘AGENDA’ and I’ll send it your way!
