Team Events
During many years of our activity, we worked with hundreds of software engineers — developers, data scientists, testers and so on… All of them have their strengths, weaknesses, professional and personal ambitions. Making them work as a team is not an easy task, especially with so many different and talented personalities.
There are many things that the management team can do to help employees work as a team.
- Clear and understandable processes developed by team members itself or with their approval / understand
- Make team responsible not individuals — Team wins and team loses
- Fair treatment, rewards, and salaries based on a transparent system for all employees
- Team Events — work hard, play hard — together, and this is what I want to focus on at this story

What do we do to make team not only work but also play and have fun together?
- Monday morning breakfasts
Integrate team members after the weekend, allow to share passed two days adventures, findings and observationsmuch nicer start of a work week than tickets

- Monthly outings (beer, games, paintball)
Almost every month we tried to go somewhere together, very often team chooses paintball, soccer match, or just a beer.

- Big parties at the end of the Year
Well, it’s even hard to describe, take a look at one of the party movie below. Every year party is different with a different theme and scope, but it’s huge all night/day event with big fun that team remembers for weeks and months… (Big thx to Fastevent who is taking care of our fun during parties :))
Is it worth doing it ?
Yes and yes and one more time yes… have employees work as a team, become friends, build fantastic atmosphere is something that you simply can’t replace with nothing else.
