What is the point of having summer days at the company? I just participated in another unforgettable event organized by Bigbank, and I feel genuinely happy and grateful for having such a great employer and awesome colleagues. Creating such a positive feeling is obviously a good reason to have summer days. But there can be more! Things to consider when organizing the event: ↪ Team building and cooperation If your main goal is to improve cooperation between employees and focus on team building, it’s best to have the summer days without families. Activities should be team-focused, and it might be beneficial to rearrange teams between activities to encourage collaboration among different groups. ↪ Socializing and fun If your goal is to enable employees to get to know each other better and just have fun, you should consider a variety of activities and allow families to participate. ↪ Maximizing attendance To maximize attendance, schedule the summer days during the workweek. If this is not possible, consider allowing families to attend and providing attractive activities for everyone. Would you add anything else?

Work for a company that allows time away because they know you’ll be better for them in the long run. Innovation and longevity is not a grind. Work for a company who sees you, not only as an employee, an asset, or a resource. A company that understands that life goes on outside of the 4 walls. Work for a company who values family. Who knows you are irreplaceable at home in times of need. Work for a company who trusts you and provides flexibility. Trusts that you are going to give your all most days, and make up for the times when you can’t. On days where I have no child care, I’m thankful I can keep an eye on my kids from the comfort of my dining room table. Even if this means putting in the late hours to ensure I’m showing up for my family, my team, and my employer. I’m a better employee when I can care for my family during these irregular times. Summer camp will begin and my schedule will go back to normal. But for now, I’ll simply relish in gratitude.

As we kick off summer it's time for an important reminder. The memories you make this summer won't happen in your office! They'll happen when you're out enjoying life with your friends and family. I know a lot of business owners struggle with taking a real break. But sometimes the most productive thing we can do is slow down to recharge. Because you work incredibly hard every day and you deserve some fun! So this is your reminder to carve out some time for you. Go make the most of these days before they're gone! Comment: What summer fun have you got planned?

I always look forward to summer for a variety of reasons. Living just a few meters from the sea allows me the luxury of enjoying beach with my family after work, a simple pleasure that highlights summer for me. 🏖 🏖 However, there's something else rewarding about the summer, but looking from a business aspect this time. It often means fewer meetings in my calendar, providing me with different opportunities. 🗓 ⏰ Lot of people find hard to motivate themselves during these hot days, however I never had a problem with it, it was always the other way around. 🤔 👉 During this period, I usually engage more heavily in tracking market trends and developing ideas that have otherwise been on hold. Summer somehow turns out to be the most creative and productive time of the year for me, and it's been like that for years. While I am looking forward to a vacation coming in two weeks, I know I'll miss this peak productivity in the months to follow. I always do. 📈 How does summer impact your business and working habbits? Feel free to share your experience. #workingsummer #split #croatia #productivity

Hello Summer! While I'm excited for the summer and all the fun we've already had and will be having, I'm also present to the potential overwhelm that it can cause our family and potentially your's. Summertime brings its own unique challenges which have been coming up over and over again with my clients. Here are a few tips based on some recent client conversations. - Set Work Hours: Clearly define your work times and communicate them to your family. - Create a Schedule: Plan the week with your kids, including camp times and family activities. - Designate Quiet Zones: Have specific areas for work where you won't be disturbed. - Prioritize Self-Care: Take time for yourself, even if it’s just a quick break. - Set Realistic Goals: Focus on what truly matters and accept that not everything will be perfect this summer. Contact me if you'd like some support in navigating this change of season!

The unofficial start of summer is upon us, and with it comes a season of change for many small businesses. School is out, vacations are in, and customer behavior shifts as people embrace the warmer weather and longer days. For some businesses, summer is a time of enormous revenue; for others, it can herald a long dry spell. However, with a bit of planning and creativity, summer can also be a season of growth and opportunity, regardless of your industry (except maybe snow plowing). Capitalizing on Summer Opportunities Summer offers unique opportunities to refresh your branding, engage customers, and capture the carefree spirit of the season. People are looking for ways to have fun and are in a vacation mindset even if they’re at home. Here are a few ideas to consider: Read more: https://lnkd.in/gWvEhi23

Summertime has always been interesting to me in terms of work and creativity. I find that the breaks that come from the different cadence of our work—due to vacations (us or others), holiday weekends, kids at home (or at camp), travels, and general changes in 'vibes' among people—compound over time. It's not just my breaks but those of the people I work with and collaborate with. It's at this time that I most clearly witness the benefits of a culture of rest, refreshment, and the new perspectives that come from travel or time away from the computer for me and my team and collaborators. My question -- and I'd love your thoughts -- is that (if you see something similar or agree, or even disagree): is this effect more pronounced because of its seasonality (i.e., summer only), or is it something we can design into the rest of the year? Would that still produce the same magic? I'd welcome your thoughts. Happy creating and happy summer. #organizationdesign #creativity
