Think success is 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 about hard work? 🤔   (It’s also about how you celebrate it) 🥳💃🥂   We know that our recent achievements and milestones at Cleancorp are the direct result of team's dedication and relentless effort.    So, what did we do?  We stepped away from our desks and came together for a beautiful work lunch at Sails on Lavender Bay.   But it felt like anything but ‘work’.    Here's the thing: When your workplace genuinely feels like a family, well... work doesn't feel like "work".   We know the word 'family' gets thrown around a lot in corporate settings.    And let’s be honest… 'family' is often used to label team unity without actually putting in the work to create real connections. But when you celebrate each other, share stories, and build stronger connections,    It doesn’t feel like a work event – it feels like a gathering of friends.   So, here’s what last Friday reminded us of:   👉 That we win together as a team.   👉 We absolutely own it, day in and day out, when it comes to work  👉 Our leadership is collaborative, rather than from the top down We cherish these opportunities to come together to not only highlight, but most of all, celebrate the people we "win together" with.

Here at Black Cape, we work hard to help our clients solve hard problems. This past weekend, several of us helped solve a different kind of problem: running a Ragnar Events LLC Relay. 🏃♂️💼 120(ish) miles, 8 teammates, 2 days of pushing boundaries, cheering each other on, and overcoming every obstacle that came our way. It was more than just a race—it was a perfect metaphor for our workplace culture. At Black Cape, teamwork and collaboration aren't just buzzwords—they’re the foundation of everything we do. Ragnar emphasized things we already know and live every day: 🤝 The power of trust: Just like in the race, we rely on each other to deliver, whether it's handing off the baton or wrapping up a project. 🧠 Resilience: When the hours got long and the miles tougher, we dug deep, just like when challenges arise at work. We push through, together. 🎉 Celebrating each other: Every finish line—big or small—is a reason to celebrate. Just like we do at work, we lifted each other up, keeping energy high with positive reinforcement and support. Being part of this corporate Ragnar team reminded me why I love working here—success is a team effort, and together, we consistently go the distance. Oh, and did I mention we took third place in our division? That was the icing on the cake. We've already signed up not one but two teams for next year's race! Yet another reason why I love what I do, and the support we consistently receive from our Black Cape leaders, Al Di Leonardo, Abe Usher, Brian Poe, among many others. #RagnarRelay #Teamwork #CorporateCulture #WorkplaceWellness #Collaboration #Endurance #BlackCape

⭐ March’s Olly Olly All Stars ⭐ "A huge congratulations to Shannon K. and Julian V. both. You truly embody Olly Olly’s values every day! What do their managers say about them? “Shannon is always smiling. She has a great attitude and comes in every day fired up to work. She is always willing to help others out. She is one of the hardest workers in the office, often staying up late calling Hawaii and Alaska at night. Shannon is one of the most curious people in the office. If she runs into a new or weird situation, she will look toward more experienced rep or manager. She is skilled herself, but she is always curious how other people would handle things so she can constantly grow. Shannon is known for showing up for her teammates, whether it is help with a demo, or hanging out on a Saturday afternoon, you can count on Shannon.” “Julian consistently embodies our company values and excels in his role, but he's recently gone above and beyond for our entire team. He exemplifies initiative by taking ownership of improving processes. He identified a bottleneck in our new build writing efficiency and, without prompting, dedicated the past three months to developing a new system. Julian's dedication extends beyond just his own work. He readily helps his colleagues, ensuring a positive and supportive team environment. This willingness to share his knowledge and expertise contributes significantly to the overall success of the department.” #leadwithhumilityandcuriosity #showupforoneanother #teamwork

Celebrating your wins is imperative to a healthy workplace. If you don't take time to celebrate, going the extra mile doesn't mean as much to your team. How are you celebrating wins on your team?

Why celebrate? 🎉 Recognise hard work: our team work so hard, and this was a great way to say "Thank you." 🎉 Boost morale: events like these strengthen our working relationships and keep us motivated moving forwards. 🎉 Create memories: moments like these are the ones we’ll look back on and remember fondly. We believe in celebrating every win, big or small. Whether it’s a summer party, a team lunch, or just a simple shoutout - acknowledge the efforts and achievements within your team. It goes a long way in fostering a positive and productive work environment 🌟 Here's to many more celebrations and successes together ✨ #teamcelebration #companyparty #celebratesuccess #TeamBreathe

Summer is the perfect time to show appreciation for your hardworking staff. Taking the time to recognize their efforts not only boosts morale but also sets your organization's culture apart. Consider hosting an outdoor team event, providing extra time off, or simply saying 'thank you' to truly make a difference. #sagency #organizationalhealth #organizationalgrowth #guidesforgrowth

What are we celebrating you ask? Just another day in the office. 😉 Okay, so maybe we're about to celebrate the big 1-0 next month, but only because of the dream team you see here. Here's to another 10 years of getting to work with the most phenomenal people you'll ever find. 🥂 #eventplanners #meettheteam #behindthescenes #eventplanning

In the fast-paced corporate world, it’s easy to focus on the next target, the next milestone, or the next big project. But one thing I’ve learned from experience is that celebration—even for the smallest of wins—matters more than we realize. I remember a project where my team worked tirelessly for weeks. Once we completed it, instead of diving straight into the next task, we took a moment to celebrate. It wasn’t a grand party, but the simple act of acknowledging our hard work together created a sense of unity and accomplishment that fueled us for the next challenge. Celebrations create more than just good vibes—they create a family environment within the team. When we celebrate wins, it reminds us that we’re in this together, working towards the same goal. This brings me to a crucial point: teamwork. We often praise individual achievements, but in reality, it’s the collective effort that drives the greatest results. One person can go fast, but a team can go far. When we work together, support each other, and celebrate our victories—big or small—we create a positive culture that lifts everyone up. In the corporate world, celebration isn’t just a pause—it’s a moment to reflect, appreciate, and recharge. And when a team celebrates together, the bonds become stronger, and the work becomes more meaningful. So, let’s not forget to celebrate. It builds not just companies, but relationships, trust, and a shared sense of purpose. #Teamwork #Celebration #CorporateCulture #SuccessTogether #TeamUnity #WorkEnvironment
