Moments as a team
2019 Highlights
Each of our team members plays a key role in Ubiwhere’s continuous growth and recognition. And that’s why we always give our best to surprise them, to ensure they feel happy, motivated and thrilled to come to work every day.
On the first Monday of every month, we get together for a working breakfast meant to fulfil several goals:
- introduce and welcome new Ubi-members;
- present and discuss current and upcoming projects;
- organize informal training sessions led by our team members.
Each time we welcome a new colleague, we give them a warm and unforgettable first day. This year, we’ve completely changed Ubiwhere’s welcome kit. We’ve turned it into a box, but it represents much more. It gathers the key elements to start a new journey at Ubiwhere and makes them feel part of this home.
In May, we gathered once again for a teambuilding day, filled with different kinds of activities. We travelled together from Aveiro to Porto and started the day by completing several group dynamics, with the goal of strengthening our bonds and getting to know better the colleagues with whom we don’t work that often.
After that, we had quite a tasty lunch, a Portuguese traditional dish called Francesinha. With our bellies full, we headed to the most exciting part of the day: the escape room. We were divided into teams, each with the goal of cooperatively investigating clues, solving puzzles and accomplishing tasks to unlock the exit door of a thematic room, in a specific amount of time. Despite its difficulty, it was everyone’s favourite time of this day!
One of the most meaningful moments of 2019 happened on the day of our 12th anniversary. We created a Ubiwhere’s Booklet with all of our employees, who could collect their cards (each card was an Ubi-member) by completing a set of weekly challenges. There were interactive moments, games and quizzes, creating very fun weeks, where everyone only thought and talked about one thing: completing the booklet of cards, a moment that will be in the memory of the whole team.
As the perfect way to finish 2019, Ubiwhere organized a Christmas dinner. It was one of the most awaited times of the year, considering that we celebrate Ubi-Awards, a tradition we had created to reward some of our employees’ particularities, such as Ms. Shopaholic, Mr. Pixel-Perfect or Mr. Dreamer. We believe these are the details that make us stronger and more versatile. There was also time for karaoke, dancing, and for our traditional Secret Santa gift exchange.
It has definitely been an unforgettable year and we are sure that each one of us holds memories of the people who have been by our side during a year full of new challenges and achievements, and with the certainty that 2020 will be even better.
