Our event agency always strives to organize unique and unforgettable events for clients. This time we had the honor of holding a corporate team building event for the birthday of SoftServe. The organization would have been impossible without the involvement of local Dnipro businesses, which allowed us not only to achieve the event’s goals but also to support local entrepreneurs during a time of global uncertainty. This contributed to the development of the local economy and strengthened ties between businesses.
Marathon Program
The birthday marathon lasted four days and aimed to help SoftServe employees “get in touch with their feelings” both globally and locally.
We created a series of events that combined elements of self-discovery, creativity, and teamwork. This is extremely important as employees often experience anxiety, burnout, and sleep problems. Providing opportunities for self-discovery and creativity helps reduce stress levels, improve emotional well-being, and increase overall productivity.
We also ensured safety: in case of air raid alerts, a comfortable area was set up in the parking lot so participants could continue “grounding” and distracting themselves.
One of the key aspects of the marathon was charity events aimed not only at improving the mental health of the participants but also at supporting a charitable initiative, as the “Drive for Life” project project, the funds raised were used to purchase ambulances for the frontline. For this cause, the company specially created a limited line of corporate merchandise, which participants could purchase with donations.
Supporting the Mental Health of Employees
The corporate program included various mental practices that allowed employees to ground themselves and listen to their inner selves.
Sound therapy and meditation helped relax and focus on their internal sensations, while different types of body therapy promoted physical and emotional recovery.
The unique practice of standing on a nail board tested their abilities and strengthened their spirit, while training sessions on emotion management and acting skills contributed to a better understanding and control of their feelings, as well as the development and enhancement of communication skills.
Workshops for employees
Those who wanted to taste the world had the opportunity to try their hand at smoothies and coffee making, which is not only delicious but also healthy. The creative part of the program included drawing on bags, fluid art, traditional Ukrainian Petrykivka painting, and a master class in mobile photography. During string art painting, watching favorite movies together, playing board and technological games, employees felt part of something significant, part of a team.
Results
The birthday marathon from Lioncom was a true manifestation of care for SoftServe employees in such times. We are glad we could create an event that contributed to the team’s deep reset. Participants had the opportunity to strengthen team spirit, feel connected, discover new talents, and receive support during times of stress and burnout. Thanks to specially selected workshops and therapeutic practices, employees were able to relax, focus on their internal sensations and emotions, and find new ways to cope with challenges.
