Fun at One97

Being a part of a growing organization is always exciting. But with the excitement come a number of things to do to set the house in order. One of the biggest challenges that one faces in this regard is keeping the employees engaged at all points in times. This engagement is not limited to just providing a great office, infrastructure, challenging work and inspiring leader…it also involves giving people an opportunity to let their hair down and relax.

Over the last six months we have struggled to get more and more people involved in the “Fun Initiatives” that we undertake every week. Having a team with the average age of 25 does help, because once you get them in one place they will create a lot of excitement by themselves. So we decided to let people decide how they wanted to have fun and we would just act as facilitators.

Eureka! Though it is early days yet we feel we have a winning formula!

So the last fortnight has seen one dance night, one evening of fun and games ….including some street cricket and a visit to an amusement park.  And next in this series is a trip to Goa followed by a rafting trip. Not everyone attended every event but every one did attend one or the other event.

However, this does not mean we will do away with events where everyone gets together!
