The Way to a Teams Heart is Through Outside Office Interaction: Team Bonding and Employee Happiness
March 23, 2010
Venture capital can be a high stress business and employees are expected to achieve lofty goals and maintain high standards. To balance this we at OpenView Venture Partners host a fun firm event every quarter. These events are meant to help build and strengthen our team bonds and to maintain employee happiness. We abide by the thought that happy employees lead to a productive firm.
Some of the successful events we have had in the past include: F1 Racing, Paintball, Dinner and Drinks, Bowling, Boston Harbor Cruise (when the tall ships were in port), and a weekend trip to Sebago Lake in Maine.
At OpenView, we work very hard to give our expansion stage portfolio companies the best support possible each and every day of the year. Outside of the office employee events are a way for us all to “let our hair down” and relax.
