I have been working with Siemens for the past 5 years. We have some really nice employee engagement programs such as cultural activities. Over the years it has helped in good team bonding and a team spirit which is essential for a company of the size of Siemens to succeed. Do you have similar cultural activities in your office? Do you find them beneficial? Cheers! Ram

Yes, they are very beneficial. I head up the diversity committee for my center. We all need to be diverse and tolerant of all cultures. Having activities at work helps break down the barriers to understanding and acceptance.

Wow! So what kind of activities do you conduct in terms of diversity? Do you celebrate festivals of different religions etc? Cheers! Ram

i dont do any job ,so no cultural activities for me in office. but my husband's office people will put picnics,yearly programmes and that days we enjoy a lot in participating games.i will definitly will get one prize in yearly programmes and in picnics. its a good thing ,as his company people will encourage their staff and their families to participate in many programmes and games. as u told,there will be good team bonding in their company staff.

Yes, family events is another good way of bonding where the employees go beyond just the work and get the families together as well. Cheers! Ram
