Our annual CSLAM event brought colleagues together for a day focused on personal growth, self-reflection and the power of teamwork.
A strong workplace is built on more than the work we do every day. It is also shaped by the relationships we build, the experiences we share and the opportunities we have to connect with one another outside our usual routines.
Our recent CSLAM event at Xara Lodge provided exactly that opportunity, bringing colleagues together for a day focused on connection, collaboration and building stronger teams through shared experiences.
The day began over morning coffee, giving everyone the chance to catch up and settle in before hearing from our guest speaker. Following the session, colleagues came together for lunch before moving on to one of the highlights of the day: a team-building activity that would put communication, creativity and teamwork into practice.
Our recent CSLAM event at Xara Lodge provided exactly that opportunity, bringing colleagues together for a day focused on connection, collaboration and, most importantly, enjoying the experience as one team.
The day began over morning coffee, giving everyone the chance to catch up and settle in before hearing from our guest speaker. Following the session, colleagues came together for lunch before moving on to one of the highlights of the day: a team-building activity that would put communication, creativity and teamwork into practice.
For the activity, colleagues were divided into 11 teams, with each team responsible for building one individual section of a much larger bridge.
While every group had its own part to complete, there was a bigger goal behind the challenge. Once all 11 sections were ready, they had to be brought together to form one complete bridge.
It was a fun way of putting teamwork into action. Each group had to focus on its own contribution while keeping in mind that, ultimately, every section needed to work as part of something bigger.
And naturally, once the bridge was complete, there was only one way to find out whether everyone’s hard work had paid off.
An R/C car was driven across the finished bridge, putting the teams’ combined creation to the test and providing a memorable finish to the challenge.
While the bridge challenge brought plenty of fun to the day, activities like this also give colleagues a different way to interact.
Away from the usual working environment, people can communicate, problem-solve and collaborate with colleagues in a completely different setting. It creates opportunities for conversations and connections that might not happen during the normal working day.
The bridge itself also provided a fitting representation of teamwork. Each team had responsibility for one section, but no single section could complete the challenge alone. The final result depended on bringing everyone’s contributions together successfully.
That same principle is important within any organisation. Individual skills, ideas and responsibilities all contribute towards something larger, and collaboration is what connects those individual efforts.
Team events are also an opportunity to step away from everyday responsibilities and simply spend time together.
Between the morning gathering, guest speaker, shared lunch and team-building challenge, the CSLAM event gave colleagues the chance to enjoy a different kind of day together and create shared memories beyond the workplace.
For Centrecom, creating a positive employee experience includes making space for these moments of connection.
As our teams continue to work together across different roles and responsibilities, experiences like these provide another opportunity to strengthen relationships, encourage collaboration and remind us of the value of working towards a common goal.
And if our bridge challenge taught us anything, it is that when 11 different pieces come together in the right way, they can build something strong enough to get everyone to the other side.
Stronger connections. Stronger teams. Stronger together. 💙
