Do you want to foster connection and camaraderie beyond physical and virtual divides? Enhance cross-departmental engagement across your hybrid landscape. Experience our Daily Fun activities and Virtual Race to move outside your castle walls, explore new realms, and forge magical connections for a vibrant workplace culture.

Break silos, spark magic! In today's diverse work environment, where organizations often include both remote and in-person employees, generating inter-departmental engagement and breaking down silos presents unique challenges. To effectively address these divides, a cross-functional team collaborated to eliminate the silos inherent to virtual workspaces. The solution came in a two-pronged approach: a low-stakes Daily Fun routine for building gradual connectedness and an intentionally intensive annual virtual event. Together, these components build anticipation and participation across departments. In this lively engagement session, you will immerse yourself in our vibrant culture by partaking in signature Daily Fun activities and a Virtual Race. Join our Daily Fun activities as we present you with a series of prompts, sparking animated discussions and encouraging everyone to share their unique perspectives. Experience firsthand the relationship-building potential of these activities and gain practical insights for adapting them to your own organizational contexts. Then set off to explore the magic of the kingdom through the Virtual Race. Throughout the race, you will work in teams to collect miles by answering trivia questions and engaging in bonus challenges. Experience the thrill and camaraderie these activities inspire. Participating in this session will give you experience leveraging technology—including generative AI—to create engaging virtual spaces and build relationships around fun, facts, and favorites. You will also gain insights into how to design a virtual race, receive practical tips for generating and sustaining interest, reflect on how to tailor a plan to your work culture, and walk away with a collection of job aids and exemplars to support implementation in your context. Come reimagine how we work and connect, and emerge equipped with the tools to break silos and spark magic in your own organizational landscape. Together, we can create workplaces where colleagues can thrive, collaborate, and build meaningful connections, regardless of physical location.
