In the fast-paced corporate world, taking time to bond outside of work is crucial. Corporate team building picnics offer the perfect opportunity for this. We build stronger connections with our colleagues when we step out of the office and into a relaxed, natural environment. It's amazing how a simple picnic can break down barriers and foster genuine relationships. Face-to-face interaction is more meaningful than ever in our digital age. These picnics provide a chance to engage in real conversations, share laughs, and understand each other better. The ambience of a picnic creates memories that last forever. The laughter, the games, the scenic views, the group photographs – all contribute to experiences that stay with us. These moments are not just fun but also build a sense of camaraderie and teamwork. And let's not forget about the joy of enjoying good food and some drinks together. Sharing a meal is a universal way of connecting, and doing so in a relaxed setting amplifies this effect. We just had our team picnic yesterday, and it was a blast! If you haven't done it yet, it's time for you all to plan one too. #TeamBuilding #CorporateCulture #EmployeeEngagement #WorkLifeBalance #OfficeFun #TeamBonding #PicnicTime

Team bonding drinks aren’t just about a night out, they’re actually pretty useful. With a few new starters around, it was a great chance to get to know everyone and build those connections. 🗣 We had a great time at Zebrano’s, catching up outside of work and having a laugh. It helped us relax and boost team spirit. Plus, it’s a nice break from the daily grind. 🍾 So, what’s your favourite spot for after-work drinks, and why? #recruiterlife #TeamBonding #WorkLifeBalance

In preparation for our seasonal kick off meeting, our fantastic field team had a bit of fun dressing up in the season’s start colours and outfits. Our team means a lot to me, as they are the support system that everyone needs at work. Every week we meet up face to face to collaborate, exchange ideas, and share plans for the upcoming week. This approach not only fosters a productive work environment but also strengthens the team’s cohesion and effectiveness. We always follow up on what we have agreed to accomplish during the previous’ week meeting and we measure the successes achieved. When things don’t go as we planned, we are open and honest about our challenges, knowing that transparency is the bedrock of a great team. It takes a lot of effort and consistency to build a highly functional team, but the reward is worth the wait, as it creates a positive and rewarding experience for everyone involved. The dress up activity was a great way to reinforce our ongoing commitment to working together and start the season on a positive note. #collaboration #team #success #winning #newbeginning

Hiring fun vendors to do team building events can really elevate a meeting or retreat! This group comes from a company that handles a lot of stress every day, so to step out of the office and have some light hearted fun can really make an impact. What unforgettable team building experiences have you had?

It’s been a while since we introduced you to some of the members of our team – we’d like you to meet Coline Estrade who is our beyond brilliant Office Manager. Not only does Coline ensure the smooth running of Goose HQ, she also bakes us the most incredible goodies, (but that’s not the reason we love her… not the only one anyway!) and generally looks after us all. She is an all-round lovely human🥰 What can Coline tell us about herself? Q: How long have you worked at Goose and what were you doing before? A: I have been working at Goose since April 2023, just a little bit over a year. Before that, I had spent around 6 years in retail, starting from being a Sales Assistant to Manager in the Beauty and Wellbeing industry. Q: What do you like most about being part of Team Goose? A: The people! I never feel anxious about going into the office on a Monday because I know that even if the work can be stressful at times, at Goose I am always surrounded by good people, everyone is friendly and we joke around a lot, I have met some amazing people and feel very privileged to call them my colleagues. Q: What’s one thing you’ve learnt recently? A: I have learnt to not fear asking for help, I often tend to want to figure something out by myself and forget that my colleagues are also here to help, it’s all about teamwork and it’s ok to ask questions, we learn every day. Q: What’s your favourite thing to do outside of work? A: I love to bake, do some shopping and going for coffees and a stroll with friends. Q: Tell us something interesting or quirky about you that few people know? A: I do not know how to whistle! #TeamGoose #EventAgency #WeAreOurPeople #MeettheTeam

You know what's pretty cool? Strong leadership that recognises leadership potential, and lifts you up. I'm two weeks into a brand new journey. New environments are scary. Meeting new people is daunting. I've had a lot of change over my twenty something years and sometimes I feel like it never gets easier. But this incredible pool of talent known as Battenhall gave me a platform from the first day I walked through the door... and they've taught me something👇 When you start a new job, don't try to prove your worth. Shake off the pressure to be confident and to be seen. Your value isn't in your status as the new talent as that will expire. It's in your authenticity. Success will show up when you do, in the unpolished, grounded version of you. YOU were hired for a reason. Cringey 🫣 ? No, just honest. Thanks Drew Benvie for your trust. Let's wow that new client 😎 #newjob #leadership

BBQ & Bonds: Building a Stronger SRP Team!🍔🌭 What’s better than a summer BBQ? A summer BBQ that brings our SRP team closer together! 🎉 Last week, we traded our workstations for picnic tables and enjoyed a day filled with delicious food, engaging games, and wonderful camaraderie. Why Team Building Matters: • Strengthening Relationships: When we connect outside the office, we build trust and collaboration. • Fostering Creativity: A relaxed environment sparks new ideas and innovative thinking. • Boosting Morale: Fun experiences remind us that we’re not just colleagues, but a family. We also used the occasion to acknowledge and celebrate our E2 Employees who have significantly exceeded expectations. Their exceptional dedication and hard work were formally recognized, enhancing the overall sense of pride and motivation within our team. A huge thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to the success of our BBQ! Let’s carry this positive energy into our projects and continue to support one another. Here’s to many more adventures together! 🌟 #TeamBuilding #SRPFamily #SummerFun #Collaboration #EmployeeRecognition
