Clarita's RIB Treasure Hunt = business benefits
Company: Clarita
Industry: IT
Location: Southampton, Warrington and Gloucester
Profile: Clarita is a Gold Partner accredited vendor and implementer of Microsoft Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solutions for the UK mid-market customers.
Approximately 3 weeks prior to the event, Clarita decided they wanted their company meeting to conclude with a social event ‘with a difference’. The idea was to thank their staff and partners for all their hard work while providing an opportunity for them to have some fun together, in an event that would encourage team spirit and team building.
Event objectives
- Integrate new members of the team
- Build stronger relationships across departments
- Celebrate their first anniversary in business
The solution
Activ’s proposal was a 5 RIB Treasure Hunt that would see the 35 participants zooming around the Solent in a competitive but fun search for answers to water and shore-based clues. Teams had to use their powers of deduction to answer the various questions that had them taking compass readings, pictures and gathering scavenger items to complete their packs.
The winners of the event were announced during afternoon tea at The Royal Corinthian Yacht Club in Cowes and were presented with a bottle of Champagne Mumm to enjoy. The day culminated in a playful blast back on the RIBs back to Ocean Village, Southampton.
Event key benefits
- A memorable reward for efforts of the past year
- Morale booster and motivation for the whole team
- Built relationships between people that rarely actually meet in the work environment
- Everyone had fun!
