Employee Wellness – Team Bonding
The focus on our team’s faces says it all! For this quarter’s team-building activity, we visited Urth Clay Studio in Burnside for a pottery session. Some of our team members got really creative, and we’re excited to showcase their masterpieces around the office!
In the past, we’ve tried bowling, tree climbing, escaping from Escape Rooms, and playing Big Swing Golf – so this peaceful and creative activity was a refreshing change of pace!
