Team-building events are essential to a positive work culture, especially with labor shortages and record levels  of job turnover. Creative and inclusive experiences can contribute to an employee feeling valued, as it allows the opportunity for them to engage with their coworkers through the activity and develop a new skill or perspective!   

To kick off your team-building search, Floraloom ships wreath-making kits and then hosts a virtual workshop with teams from 10-100+.

Some of the companies who have found success with these kits for their team? Spotify, Pandora, Amazon, Twitter, and a myriad of tech companies, law firms, and beyond. ALL are welcome to create no matter the skill level!

Brainstorming your next team building experience? Here’s some ideas to get started on your search:

 
 

Get creative with holiday gifting

Research different holidays and host an event around it to show you care all-year long! Maybe it’s Nurse’s Appreciation Day? Juneteenth? Chinese New Year? Bringing your team together over a historical event, celebration of service, or other important holiday creates for conversation and lends to intentional themes and colors. Here at Floraloom, we artfully curate wreath kits with your group in mind!

Support a charity

Look for experiences that support local charities and organization so employees can take pride in giving back to the community while they create together. Floraloom partners with local shelters to hire residents and those in transitional housing to help prep and pack wreath kits.

Amplify small business

Choose small business when possible! Doing the research and digging into the maker creating the gifts shows that you care not only about lifting up others who are hustling to grow their passion, but also that you’re showing your team that there is genuine care behind the experience and that reflects the ethos of the work culture you are working to model for them.
