NSU know how to have fun!

The gang from NSU certainly know how to have fun and make the most of their breakout time at their annual conference. At the end of their two day conference this group employed the services of Funatix to bring a little fun to their Friday afternoon and to work on ensuring they continued to have a cohesive team who were able to step outside their 'formal' roles and not take themselves too seriously. This is the second time we have worked with NSU and they certainly allow us to walk the talk and 'have fun at work'. I think we laugh as much as they do. The great thing about this group is the way they embrace the opportunity to have some fun and their willingness to have a go at anything in the pursuit of this. This general attitude seems to make it a good place to work. Just watching them engaged in the games with ease indicates that they have taken the time to do something different as a staff and are comfortable shedding the formal 'roles' from time to time - a key element in ensuring your team remains productive and cohesive.
With the 'Winter Wonderland' theme this group happily showed us their dance moves, designed and created some fabulous costumes for their team leaders (see Ben the new supermodel featured here on parade), got down on their knees to eat marshmallows blind, spun streamers, manipulated cardboard cross country skis and tossed 'snowballs' for the winter 'quadathlon'.
Following this they enjoyed a formal dinner dance and even roped partners into a team building activity which revealed a few people who definitely had the X factor!
A great advertisement to other companies about showing your employees you value them and rewarding them for hard work.

Thanks so much for coming down to run our activities on Friday – everyone had an absolute ball and loved the activities. I really think your style suits our company – relaxed and fun and facilitates involvement without being too confronting – although some of us now have partners who say we owe them big time for getting them involved at the dinner activity!

I think the girls from Funatix are great. They are original and keep things going at a good pace. It can’t be easy keeping a room full of adults (and Ben) entertained for a few hours without the influence of alcohol…

I thought the ladies were excellent and really made an effort for us, they had great attitudes and really motivated our group to have fun and participate.
