Engaging with our people

Staff Workshop

Staff participate in a series of in-house workshops designed to bring the team together and participate in an activity based around an area of expertise of one of their colleagues. Workshops in 2024 included an event focused on brand identity and the marketing and launch of a new building and one on sustainability and the use of insulating materials in the built environment. Staff worked in teams to come up with creatuve solutions to challenges set by the host and then pitched their ideas to an expert panel of external judges with a prize awarded for the best.
