Play & Have fun!

Go and have fun being active – especially together with your colleagues! The foundation for performing together!

Yes! Playing on the Dutch hills, in the mud! Cyclocross. Corners, lots of mud, slippery sections, patches of green grass, finding grip, fast riders ahead of me. Trying to keep them within sight. What are they doing? Following the right lines. Trying new things together. Creating fun little routes. Slowing down, taking the inside corner… or maybe the outside line. One of my own challenges is not braking too much. Fantastic! This is real play!

At the same time, I notice how my body responds to exciting moments, such as a steep descent. This is what makes me happy!

I also understand why activities such as adult playground games have become so popular. Playing is wonderful! It makes you happy and often leads to new ideas and insights – also at work. Having fun together is such an important foundation for performing together. When people genuinely enjoy working together, performance naturally follows. At least, that's what I believe.

So, go and have fun being active and playing sports – especially together with your colleagues!

How can you play in the online office? What about an active online energiser during a meeting? A bingo challenge, an online pub quiz or a step challenge for your team? You'll find ideas for energisers, Movement Bingo and more under Office Moves & Fun. Enjoy!
