What are companies doing with regards to 'My Team'

The organisation arranges a variety of wellbeing and social events for all employees throughout the year in order to build relationships between teams. Furthermore, managers have access to their own social budget to arrange events for their teams, in addition to the corporate budget for social events.

The organisation continues to enhance its communications, ensuring the whole business receives a briefing on the state of the company on a bi-monthly basis, along with a cascade from the Workforce Group. These briefings are also recorded and can be shared directly with teams or individuals where managers are unable to cascade the presentations themselves.

The organisation conducts monthly company meetings for all employees. Each session delivers clear information about the current business status and plans and forecasts for the months ahead. Ocean Holidays also hosts guest speaker events to educate and share knowledge, and its annual Summer and Christmas parties, both of which are fully funded for all employees.

The Group energise our teams through its Social-Wellbeing committee. Initiatives such as in-office events, company-wide celebrations, and team day-outs help to foster camaraderie and excitement while providing opportunities for relaxation and team bonding.

All teams have off site team development days to build relationships, energy, and to share ideas for the future of the organisation. Furthermore, ‘The Hub’, a constantly evolving intranet tool provides teams with the information they need on all current business strategies and goals. It also runs multiple 'Academy' programme to provide cross-team learning opportunities.

VoucherCodes encourages team spirit and belonging through inclusive social events and team competitions. The weekly trivia quizzes and charity-driven step challenges ensure a fun and collaborative atmosphere within the team.

Last year’s social calendar saw Romford Dogs evening, a Summer Team Building event and a Christmas Party. Peppered around these large events were regular football sessions, and payday breakfasts and lunches.

To foster strong relationships between employees, each December the organisation takes all its staff on an all-expenses paid weekend away with recent locations being Marbella, Estepona and Benidorm. This provides the opportunity for all team members across the four offices to socialise, celebrate the years successes and bond with one another.

Engagement days with different themes take place across the whole business about four times a year based on a different theme. Each team celebrates the theme in their own way and events are posted on the company's communications platform.

At TSG, team spirit is fostered through a dedicated sports and social network, which organises various activities from quiz nights to walking challenges. The company's internal recognition scheme, Purple Stars, also contributes to a sense of camaraderie and mutual appreciation among team members.
