Heading off to mini golf, we were all ready to swing into action, putt our skills to the test, and leave it all out on the greens. Lots of laughs were had, followed by ice cream treats and bragging rights.

It's bbq season! She may spend days shopping/cooking/decorating/cleaning/preparing/inviting while he flips the meat a few times and brings it to the table with great fanfare. While disparities exist in this bbq just like in the workplace, they are not uncommon. How can this change? Here are some suggestions: - Share Your Insights: Avoid keeping your "secret sauce" to yourself. Highlight your research and solutions openly. - Claim Your Work: Put your name on reports and presentations to help ensure recognition for your efforts. - Document Your Achievements: Keep track of your accomplishments to showcase your value during evaluations. - Stay Visible: Engage with others in your workplace, volunteer for projects, and be an active part of visible committees. - Acknowledge Contributions: Give credit where it's due to recognize the efforts of your colleagues. Lead by example. What additional recommendations do you have? Let's work towards fostering a workplace where everyone's contributions are acknowledged and appreciated. #WorkplaceEquality #Recognition #ProfessionalDevelopment

STORY Studio were invited to produce this case study film for our client Goodman. They wanted us to tell the story of Albion Fine Foods Ltd - a family run business based in Kent, supplying produce to high-end restaurants in London and the South East. The key to this project was good planning. A word that has been part of my working life for 20+ years. I have led on the organisation for coverage of general elections, Papal visits, Commonwealth Games and special programmes. When you are filming and gathering content for anything - planning and good logistics is key. It provides a solid foundation to let creativity flourish. This project was in Kent, at a distribution facility spanning over 130,000 sq ft, with multiple interviewees - and we (Ian Snape and I) had one day to film it all. So what did we do to make it happen? Working closely with Emma Pickering we: 📽 Established who we were speaking to and what they could contribute using previously written case study copy 📽 Created a detailed storyboard for the client - to ensure we were on the same page before anything was filmed 📽 Created detailed briefing notes to compliment that storyboard - everyone taking part knew what was expected of them 📽 A recce - not always possible, but in this case I was able to check out the warehouse a month before filming day 📽 A filming schedule - what we needed and when, allowing Albion Fine Foods Ltd to prepare for our visit  Our filming day, whilst incredibly busy, went very smoothly. We were able to capture all the content needed to tell the story visually, but still had time to carry out the interviews and make sure we had the soundbites to reflect this brilliant business. I am a journalist, so for me it isn’t about reading pre-agreed questions. It is about listening and picking up on what the interviewees are saying. Asking questions in different ways, mapping out the structure in my head as I go. To do this you need time on the day and detailed research and prep in the run up to filming day. Albion Fine Foods Ltd is a family business, they love what they do, are passionate about the people they employ and were genuinely excited to call Goodman’s Crossways Park their new home.  A big thank you to Toby Raphael, Harry J., Lee Deeble and the team for making our day run so smoothly - and so enjoyable.

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

Happy Holi everyone! 🤗 This year, with some of us away from home, we decided to celebrate Holi together as a team! We had a blast throwing colors (the safe kind ) and sharing some yummy snacks. It might seem silly, but these celebrations really do bring us closer. It's a great way to break the ice with new colleagues, have some laughs with familiar faces, and create a more positive atmosphere in the office. After all, happy team members are productive team members! So, next time you're thinking about a team-building activity, consider something a little different!
