Yesterday we swapped the usual office atmosphere for fresh air at the boathouse in Jena and spent our annual team day there – an event that we will remember for a long time to come.
Tricky games of skill not only challenged us mentally, but also put our team spirit to the test, because tying knots is not so easy when twenty people are holding the same rope. SUP boards were available to try out, on which many of us rediscovered our sense of balance, and those who preferred to get wet as a team were able to train for the upcoming dragon boat race. Under the motto “We’re all in the same boat”, we paddled – more or less – in unison, strengthening not only our muscles but also our sense of community.
But it wasn’t just on the water, there were also numerous challenges to master on land. Whether it was volleyball, table tennis or other team challenges – there was something for everyone and the team spirit was palpable everywhere. Despite the changeable weather, we didn’t let it spoil our spirits. Special thanks go to the dedicated organising team, who put their heart and soul and creativity into making this day an unforgettable and motivating experience. Our team is not only strong at work, but also a great community. 💪
We brought the evening to a festive close at the subsequent family summer party. The tables were laden with the delicacies we had brought with us. We laughed, barbecued, played games and spent the evening in the best of family company.
All in all, our team day was not only proof of how strong we are as an ORISA team, but also a reminder of how important it is to create and enjoy shared experiences outside of everyday working life. A really great day that leaves us wanting more.
