Payzone UK Limited

Last summer, the Payzone social committee decided to organise an Olympic themed BBQ. The BBQ was designed as a fun and completely free event for all. Emails were sent to the business prior to the BBQ to create a buzz, whilst keeping some aspects a surprise for the evening. An outside catering company was hired to provide the food and the Social Committee was in charge of everything else buying in drinks, games, prizes and decorations. The outside of the office was decorated with Olympic banners, bunting, flags and balloons and games were set up around the area. Games were set up for all to play and carried prizes and got everyone interacting with others from around the business. A highlight of the night was the managers' triathlon with 14 of the management team battling it out to be crowned champion, whilst being cheered on by their teams. The evening was a definite success with the majority of the business in attendance.

The "What If…" employee led engagement initiative at Payzone UK Ltd has included the redecoration of a meeting room, in order to create a calm work free zone as well as a creative "think tank". The room has been themed to promote positive thinking and well-being. Decorated as a greenhouse, it includes artificial grass as the carpet, a blue sky with fluffy clouds, party bunting hung around the walls and flower stencilling. Funky chairs are provided and a welcome mat on entering. When the room was unveiled, it created a buzz of fun and laughter within the business and indeed continues to do so to this day. Employees have said that spending time in the room helps them to unlock their creative potential and eases the stresses and strains of working life.
