How Can We Transform Our BPO into a Fun and Engaging Workplace? Share Your Ideas!

Hey guys,

I'm from a small BPO (200 employees, multiple offices) and we are trying to redesign to build a fun working environment. Everything from internal communication, environment graphics and posters, office activities, learning and development, etc. We have grown from 0-200 and never had the opportunity to look at such things. I'm sure this subject is also of interest to a lot of other members. It would be good if people could share what they like about their office or the things they have implemented or would like to see and have heard about in other places. Let your imagination run wild, the sky's the limit.

Cheers,
Shitij

I'll start -

1. In my previous organization, we had a monthly office party where all employees, including the CEO, had to attend. Office updates, milestones, birthdays, and anniversaries were celebrated.

2. An open house was held every month where two speakers would discuss any subject in the world. Once, we had somebody talk about architecture and various philosophies behind it. It provides everybody a platform to speak - it's off-topic but still intellectually stimulating and very good for team building.

3. Treasure hunts

4. Monthly team-level outings

5. Annual Offsite for the whole company - all office employees

6. Rewarding employee loyalty - generous gifts for 1 year, 5 years, 10 years, and 20 years of service

7. Organized efforts for Festival celebrations
