TEAM DAY 2024 | JACK-UP BARGE & SWIFT

Reflecting on the Team Building Day 2024

On June 13th, 2024, our team gathered for the highly anticipated J-UB/Swift Team Building Day in Den Hout. The event was a blend of team-building activities, meaningful interactions, and constructive moments, all under the expert guidance of Timo Lamboo and his assistant coaches. While not everyone could attend due to various reasons, which was unfortunate, we were grateful to have the majority of the team present. This collective participation was key. For those who couldn’t join or for anyone with feedback, we encourage you to approach any member of the organizing team without hesitation. Your input is valuable and helps us improve future events. For this monthly company update, we will highlight the key moments and summarize the day.

Conclusion

The day’s program was carefully designed to balance structured activities with informal interactions, ensuring engagement and participation from all team members. The team-building exercises effectively enhanced collaboration and communication skills, despite initial reservations. Timo Lamboo’s facilitation injected energy and valuable insights into each session, guiding us through meaningful discussions. It’s important to highlight the constructive nature of these discussions. Addressing areas for improvement, fostering open dialogue, and aligning expectations are vital steps towards collective growth. Let’s continue to encourage each other not to let challenges go unresolved, but to collaboratively turn them into opportunities for improvement.

Mostly, the day provided a valuable opportunity for team bonding in a different environment, laying a strong foundation for a more cohesive team moving forward. We eagerly anticipate the next opportunity to gather and continue our growth as a team!
