SUMMER + XMAS SOCIALS
Twice a year, we host a all day off site (usually at the Duck & Ball which is owned by Recipe and offers all recipeans a discount all year round) for our summer and xmas socials. Here we provide an update on how the business is doing, celebrate the great work our teams have been doing then enjoy the rest of the time playing softball, and enjoying each others company outside of the office.
SKI TRIP
Building deep connections and strong relationships is ingrained into everything we do. After all, that’s how Dan, Ed and Jim started Recipe nearly 20 years ago. Prior to setting up the agency, our founders worked a season in Val d’Isere and since then it’s been a tradition for them to go every year.
This tradition has been extended to the agency (providing we have made our yearly target) - the cost of the trip is subsidised to make it affordable for all who would like to attend, with most expenses covered as a thank you but more importantly, having the opportunity to spend quality time together away from HQ.
MONTHLY ALL AGENCY
With flexible working, it can be difficult for all of our talented tight team to be together all at the same time. So, we decided to mix up how we do our company updates. On the last Friday of each month, we invite everyone into the office to hear our key updates from across the business. Once the formalities are over, lunch is provided where we lock away our laptops and sit together to eat as one. The afternoon has a strict ‘no tech’ policy so that we can play games and bond. It’s a nice way to reflect, reconnect and reboot for the month ahead.
