The best aspect of the program was spending time with coworkers outside work. They enjoyed getting to know one another and learning how to work together. We loved watching the team interact during the icebreaker activity. There was so much energy & excitement in the room. Makes me smile thinking of it today. The team had a great time! Everyone enjoyed the trivia. Very fun, engaging and everyone seemed excited to spend the afternoon with us.
