Last week ej4 held our all-employee meeting in our Kansas City office. The mid-year meeting is all about recharging our batteries and giving the St. Louis and Kansas City offices a chance to reconnect and bond in person. Since creating training is our core business and we all regularly watch our own videos, it’s hard to sneak in a team building challenge that is fun and effective without eliciting the expected groans, eye rolls and a bad karaoke version of Kumbaya. In the past, we have tried a variation of speed-dating, scavenger hunt and the escape rooms.
My 11-year-old son had recently completed an egg-drop challenge with his friends in science class. The kids were so serious and engaged and they had a great time creating their contraption. I thought this might transfer to our employees. If you are unfamiliar with this popular STEM activity, Google it! The Google Image search is entertaining too!
