We make it a priority to maintain team spirit through shared events, courses and lunches.

After a long period of fighting with strict pandemic regulations, many societies and individuals have gradually adapted to the new normal. But then something came along that no one would guess. The war conflict in our neighbourhood also affected msg life Slovakia, so we immediately responded with a collection for the people affected by this situation. We will continue to expand our help not only thanks to our employees, but also with the support of our parent organization in Germany. Since the beginning of the new year, we have organized a number of interesting events that we would like to make our colleagues’ working hours more interesting and help them to relax in these challenging times.

The year 2022 has started in full swing at msg life Slovakia. Although our colleagues continued to work in the form of Home Office, the HR department tried to make their working time more pleasant with various events. In mid-January, employees tried out an online escape game, where they not only relaxed, but also practiced teamwork, which is extremely important for our company. We also took part in the CSOB Marathon relay race. It is no secret that our colleagues from msg life Slovakia are not only IT specialists, but also sports lovers. This is confirmed by their placing on the winners’ podium. 16 colleagues took part in the competition, even our colleagues from Kosice. Sports events promote not only our health, but also teamwork and workplace relations, which is extremely important for our company. Congratulations to all participants for a great performance!

We organized a painting course for our art oriented colleagues. The theme was spring rain, and despite the fact that some colleagues were holding a paintbrush and watercolour paints for the first time, the two-hour session produced some really tasteful works of art.

Gourmet specialties and action-packed team games

At the end of March we also organized two adrenaline teambuilding activities – Laser Tag and bowling, which were again very popular. Even during the cold days we did not forget about the delicious food and continued our tradition of lunches together. Pizza day had a high attendance, but also Fresh lunch, where we enjoyed exotic soups from Asian cuisine and there were also specialties such as poké, bao or various vegan delicacies. There was also interest in the Mix Your Own Drink course, which could be taken both in person and online. For this online course, we sent the professional bartending equipment directly to the colleagues’ homes. On the eighth of March, we did not forget about our female colleagues and the International Women’s Day. A little attention sent directly to everyone’s home as well as various relaxing activities in the form of massages, meditations or a flower workshop made our female employees’ working hours more enjoyable. We believe that also thanks to these events our team continues to grow. In the first three months of 2022 alone, we have hired 13 employees, 7 of whom are women. In msg life Slovakia we are still looking for new colleagues and update our list of employee benefits to make it as attractive as possible.

Fundraising for Ukraine

However, along with all the joy and pleasant activities, we do not forget about the current situation in Ukraine. We are closely following what is happening in our neighbours and we are trying to contribute to helping people who had to leave their homes from one day to the next. That is why msg life Slovakia joined the material collection and bought sleeping bags and pads, durable goods, baby food, formula, toiletries and hygiene products. All of these essential resources were given to charitable organizations who will deliver them to the right hands. A big thank you goes to our colleagues who have contributed financially or materially to this collection, showing that despite difficult times we can still show solidarity and humanity.
