Vetropack Straža organised a picnic

In a company with more than 600 people most of them never met or they communicate very rarely and stay professional in their communication. A company picnic is an excellent way to gather people out of their working places and make them get to know each other better. And, in this pandemic circumstances, outdoor event was a great way to associate safely.

In July 2021 Vetropack Straža organised a picnic on an estate in the middle of the forest. Main part of the picnic was a competition in cooking in the cauldron. Almost everyone participated in preparing the ingredients but only six teams cooked. Although they were preparing the same dish and had the same starting ingredients, each of the team had their one secret component which made the difference. And the best one won.

The one not cooking had an opportunity to make a walk through the forest and nearby fields. After a great lunch which was prepared at the competition, socialising continued with the local musicians until late into the night.

Having the employees meet and participate in different activities, may foster more collaboration between departments. As most of the participants said, they have never got to know more of the new colleagues at once or known them better as during the picnic.
