RE: What's cooking and why

in Galenkp's Stuff4 months ago

The team cooking the food is to get people interacting with people they may not normally engage much with, and get that happening in a social environment. It works well.

Sort:  

I figured. The only time that happens is when we have team building outings. The team rents a house somewhere, usually with amenities like a pool, billiard, and table tennis, and spend a night or two there. People will then bring food, cook, and bond.

Yep, that's exactly it. I assume there's some benefits for the team and probably for the business as well right?

Definitely. It strengthens teamwork and camaraderie. For the business, I guess happy employees stay longer. But the team outing isn't done every month, it is usually just a once a year thing.
