Over the past two years, businesses and companies have swiftly adapted to changes in the environment, reevaluating their processes and strategies.
Concurrently, there arose a necessity to reconsider the ways of interacting with the team and to enhance approaches for conducting internal company events. In this article, we want to share our own experience and thoughts on how our company manages to blend cultural values with modern realities to create a new team culture.
Step 1. Emphasis on Values
External changes in the country directly impact internal changes within the company. It's crucial to clearly define what is the key for your team and then to implement it in all activity areas.
For Universe, unity and the value of culture have become key directions, expressed in support for Ukrainian products and the desire to delve deeper into and share this culture with the world. We want everyone in the team to move in the same direction, be inspired, and hatch plans together.
Every year, we summarize our work and have a tradition of gathering to chat in an informal atmosphere, thank each other for a productive year of collaboration, and get inspired for the new one. We decided to hold this meeting in the format of a team Christmas celebration on Christmas Eve, exploring the customs of different regions of Ukraine. The creation of such an event has reflected new approaches for building corporate culture.
To prepare for the event and bring the idea to life, we took a thorough approach. To make everything as authentic as possible, we have consulted with a folklorist, ethnographer, and a member of the folk band "ShchukaRyba," Yaryna Sizyk, who shared important knowledge and thoughts that became the foundation for the successful implementation of this event.
