Exploring good stories in Iceland
With 85 registered participants from SYSCO’ s departments throughout the Nordic region, there was a record delegation of the company’ s employees who in October took a welldeserved break from the autumn’ s work sessions and set the course against Iceland.
HR Manager Kari Haaland Cheek was responsible for this year’ s trip and is very pleased that everything went according to plan, and not least for all the postive feedback from the participating employees. – It is not easy to find a weekend for all employees being able to leave at the same time, so we are glad we found a time suiting so many. This obviously contributed a lot to the experience of the trip, says Cheek.
With an organization that has grown strongly over the years, and is also spread over many locations in the Nordic region, it is not always easy to find time to be social with colleagues. Besides the academic and social program, it was therefore a goal that the employees should get acquainted with new colleagues. In this regard, various types of” social games” were set up together with competitions, which Cheek thinks worked very well and led to new combinations and friendship between the various participants.
