Team Building & Retreat

We have fun as a team

"If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself" Henry Ford

Team Building

Let us start by the definition of "Team building". It is the process of turning a group of individual contributing employees into a cohesive team.

This "process" is core to our culture and reflects on a daily basis in how we work and interact together. We don't wait for formal "team building" activities to have fun together and work as a team. It is in our DNA !

We know that work can absorb us and therefore we set fixed time slots for team building activities. Those activities span over a good restaurant, fun sports (karting, paintball, ...), weekends in the Switzerland mountains, attending a sport event or concert and much more. We discuss together and choose based on the envy of everyone. We do an average three of those activities on a yearly basis.

On top of those team building, we go big with the Christmas dinner where we rent a private room in a Geneva restaurant and go over a "year in review" presentation followed by a dinner and some night life in Geneva.

Aside from those formal team building activities, we go on a weekly basis to grab a coffee or a beer in small groups.

Retreat

"To go faster you must slow down." John Brunner

Daily life can be noisy and prevent your mind to think big and innovate. This is why we have very flexible "Time Off" policies on one hand but we also take a five days off as team once a year (from Wednesday to Sunday). We name this time off a "retreat" and we usually take it around April-May in a sunny European country when the nice weather comes back.

This retreat has the following objectives:

• Disconnecting from our daily projects

• Brainstorming mid-term and long-term strategy of the company

• Brainstorming around new tools that could make us more productive

• Introducing new partnerships

• ...

On top of those inspirational business objectives, we also set significant amount of time for challenging activities such as a long hiking, running activities and so on.

Last but not least, as good foodies, we make sure to eat deliciously during those fives days.
