We build in time for fun.
The challenging and supportive work environment at Health Advances encourages lasting relationships inside and outside the office. The close community we cultivate through hard work (and play) is integral to our professional success and satisfaction. Although the pandemic may have affected our in-person events, we value our close community at Health Advances and have hosted a number of virtual events for our employees during this time. These events have included buddy activities, a virtual escape room, trivia nights, introductions to former interns, team building activities, stretch breaks, and more. We have also created a range of chat groups to stay informed and help lift our spirits; such as info on our pets, updates on COVID-19, funny things our kids have said during quarantine, and a virtual café (just to name a few).
Each summer we celebrate with an outdoor event on the occasion of the company’s anniversary. Last year we celebrated with a picnic at Elm Bank Gardens.
Each year we kick back and enjoy the Holiday season with a gathering where everyone can get to know his or her co-workers in a fun social setting.
We like to incorporate fun into our workday by sponsoring birthday breakfasts, holiday celebrations, snack deliveries, and informal gatherings. There are also activities like movie nights, bowling, as well as other sports. Here are some other events we’ve enjoyed recently:
Employees line up for food truck fare in the late summer to fuel up for a competitive bean bag toss competition! Teams of four played for the ultimate prize: bragging rights!
Here at Health Advances we are always ready for a party. World cup playoffs, let’s get together in the café and watch! Cold winter day, what about a gourmet coffee bar? Hanukkah? Let’s have a dreidel party. St. Patrick’s Day? What about some Irish bread and jam? Birthdays? How about Bagel Birthday Breakfast?
The Health Advances Asia Pacific team celebrated the Lunar New Year in Hong Kong by making hui chun (挥春) decorations to celebrate the new year. It was a fun experience for our staff to learn how to write Chinese calligraphy as a virtual celebration.
