Simarco Connections raises employee engagement

Last October, we launched ‘Simarco Connections’ within the business, which has successfully increased employee engagement, bringing fun and enjoyment through a number of collaborative events.

The ‘Pay Day Treats’ scheme started in January and has proved to be a great success. Our staff have gratefully received fresh fruit, love hearts in celebration of Valentine’s Day, cake to celebrate Simarco’s birthday and even Easter Eggs.

In February, Simarco staff successfully completed a ‘Walk to China’ challenge. The goal was to collectively walk 4,846 miles, the equivalent of walking from the UK to China, to promote good health. Steps were recorded and not only did they complete the journey, but with 6,575 miles they almost made it halfway back.

We launched, “The Connections Virtual Bake-Off” this month, based on the popular TV Show – the Great British Bake Off which highlighted just how many creative and excellent bakers we have at Simarco.  This included the Pride Bake Off just last week to commemorate Pride Month in June.

Simarco Connections is a forum to further enhance our engagement throughout the company, as part of our ongoing commitment to provide a positive and collaborative workplace. It is just one of many initiatives that we undertake to ensure we maintain a productive environment, leading ultimately to a better working experience for our colleagues.
