These events allow your teams to get to know each other better by sharing a pleasant moment. You can also participate in certain days as we did with the I love my box day:

One of the major communication problems in business is the lack of information on employees. Let's take a simple example. You are a company with more than 50 people. Do you really know all of your employees? Do you know what are the missions that each one carries out?
These may only be trivial details but this information is of paramount importance. The tip for presenting yourself well to colleagues is presentation video. Making a short video summarizing your place in the company, your background and your passions will make your employees interact.
When they see the videos of their colleagues, they will discover them. The reflex that should be adopted is to make these videos as soon as new employees arrive. This will facilitate their integration on the one hand and lead to discussion with the other people on the other hand.

Concept that we have adopted at Cenareo, it is about summarize in a short video the tasks completed during the week. The main objective is to ensure the follow-up by the directors of the missions of the employees but also to bringing teams together.
Each department makes its own video and broadcasts it on the company's social network. From then on, employees discuss with each other about the problems encountered or the objectives achieved. It also allows departments to communicate with others by replying directly to these videos. Team cohesion will then be strengthened and departments will discuss with each other.
We have made the weekly summary mandatory for all departments. This brings real added value because all teams have to make their video. No collaborator is left out and the teams are even more united.
