Check out the recap reel from our recent Nine Point Agency team retreat in Whistler!

🥕 Happy International Carrot Day! 🥕 Today, we celebrate not just a vegetable that's nutritious and versatile, but also a concept deeply rooted in our corporate culture - the idea of offering "carrots" to our employees. 😉 In the spirit of International Carrot Day, let's take a moment to appreciate the "carrots" we provide and receive in our professional lives. These incentives, whether they be recognition, bonuses, or opportunities for growth, drive us forward, fuel our motivation, and nourish our passion for our work, much like the humble carrot nourishes our bodies. 🧡 As we enjoy this day, let's reflect on how we can offer more "carrots" in our workplaces. How can we better recognize and reward the efforts of those around us? How can we cultivate an environment where motivation and positive reinforcement are at the heart of what we do? 💪 Let's commit to creating a culture where everyone feels valued, recognized, and driven—not by the stick, but by the enticing promise of carrots, in all their forms. 🤝 #InternationalCarrotDay #EmployeeMotivation #CorporateCulture #Recognition #Incentives #tharizone

Last night's Oscars gave us many unforgettable moments, but Ryan Gosling's performance as "I'm Just Ken" truly stood out. It was more than entertainment; it was a reminder of the incredible power of fun and memorability in any performance – be it on the stage or in the boardroom. This philosophy of blending fun with serious business echoed vividly at last week's GLOMO and Rhode Sense Movers Party at Prohibition in New Orleans. The atmosphere was electric, filled with jazz, laughter, and vibrant discussions. It was a clear testament to how bringing joy and memorability into professional settings can significantly amplify engagement and results. In logistics, a field often viewed through a lens of complexity and seriousness, this approach is particularly transformative. Working with experts who not only excel in their field but also know how to add a touch of fun and memorability – like the team at Rhode Sense – changes the game. It turns routine transactions into memorable experiences, fostering stronger relationships and smoother operations. At Rhode Sense, we live by the motto "WHERE THERE'S A ROAD, WE'LL FIND A WAY." But let's not forget: the journey is just as important as the destination. Let's make our business interactions not just successful, but also fun and unforgettable. #BusinessSuccess #FunInBusiness #Logistics #RyanGosling #Oscars #RHODESENSE #Networking

'Random Coffees' 🤔 What are they? Did you actually go on one - this photo looks somewhat edited 😅 Today, I got to have a Random Coffee with my colleague Mike Davies. We took 30 minutes away from the office to talk. We spoke mostly about running - Mike knows lots and I had a load of questions (Fartlek? 'Kenyan Hills'? Marginal gains? The six World Marathon Majors?) - and our time as Employee Trustees at Stephens Scown having served our terms at different times in our Employee Ownership journey. I forgot to take a photo because the conversation was so good, so Mike was happy to pose in the office instead 📷 Being able to step away from the office environment to get to know our colleagues more personally (and professionally but with less of a service delivery focus) is so beneficial to our ongoing professional relationship. We're all humans, and being to engage with someone on a human level, not just on a service-provision level, helps us to build trust with them and feel more personally fulfilled through the work we do together. I think Random Coffees are a great initiative from my business. In the last few months I've also had them with Karen Stamp, Isabella Kershaw and Kia Pearson 👋 Do others get similar opportunities encouraged by their businesses? What is your version of our Random Coffee? 🤔 #Teamwork #Culture #EmployeeOwnership

Moments ⌛ vs. Materials 🛍️: Which Builds a Stronger Company Culture and Why? 🌟 Reflecting on Oprah's wisdom aboard Holland America 🚢, I'm reminded of the profound impact of experiences over possessions. As a MICE travel agency, we understand that investing in shared journeys creates lasting memories and fosters a unique bond among teams. Oprah emphasizes that the magic isn't in the 'stuff,' but in the moments that unfold—the awe of witnessing a glacier ❄️, the shared joy of a favorite things show. Similarly, our curated company trips are about being in the space where it happens, fostering openness, and creating expansive memories. 🎉 Let's prioritize experiences over things, invest in the magic of shared moments, and build a company culture that resonates beyond material possessions. Join us on a journey where memories become treasures. #ExperiencesOverPossessions #TeamBuilding #CompanyCulture ✨ Credit to this link - https://lnkd.in/g3cKxzJd

🚌 Charabanc : used especially for taking people on trips or on holiday. Friday sees Real Talk 🌳 Field Walk on its first bus tour. To be fair it's a 5 minute journey. But it's already instilled panic about getting a refillable coffee before we leave. It takes time to organise, energy to plan the route, thought around the monthly topic. I don't mind a single minute of organising. Because it's all about connection and being in nature. Two of my favourite things. What does your Friday look like? #netwalkingcambridge #lookup #embracenature

Planning to kick off a fresh start with your colleagues this fall? A new project? New employees? There are countless reasons to organize a memorable kick-off event, but they all share a common goal: to create a social and motivating experience for your company. Building relationships across departments and sharing unique experiences can foster unity and collaboration. Ready? We know how! 🏔️🇳🇴🫶 #adventure #kickoff #norway

Teambuilding activities can be boring and dull. 'Teambuilding fatigue' is what one of our partners called it. Most of the #teambuildingactivities are still very old school, silly and not well organised. We've all done the classic icebreakers, or went to a restaurant with our team. But none of these activities really sparked our teambuilding spirit. That is why we have developed a treasure hunt concept that does spark your creativity, triggers your inner child and enhances the team spirit! Curious of what we can do for your team?

Several years ago, we started a new tradition at Office Dynamics International. Being that this was Delani Denton's first year on the team, she had to experience her initiation. Her response was priceless! Although this was something we did as a joke and to make her laugh, it brings up an important concept. Well, a few actually: • Creating moments and memories like these are powerful for your team's morale and promotes a positive company culture. • Having company traditions creates a sense of distinction and belonging. This is why major sports teams have their own traditions to grow the camaraderie. • Surprises are extra powerful; make sure your team member isn't expecting them, and it will strengthen the impact of the moment. I know, I am being an educator, but I had to take this fun moment and explain my thoughts. As executive and administrative assistants, go the extra mile and think of ways you can do the same within your own organizations. And yes, Delani still has most of her desk items wrapped. Understandably, she did have to unwrap the keyboard and mouse.

Team building is not just about strengthening our work relationships; getting out of your comfortzone and stepping in different shoes -or should we say, clogs, can really get that team spirit going. We definitely had a laugh! Here's a snapshot of our latest adventure, where we embraced local traditions, got out of our office clothes and upped our ''steez'' in some vibrant cultural attire. 🎉👗 Can you guess where we were? Drop your guesses in the comments below! And while you're at it, share a memorable team event that you've experienced. Let's get the stories flowing!
