We’re at it again at Trulia!
With continuing strides towards being the best company to work for in the entire world, our focus on BOFFI is highlighted by our 2nd quarterly installment of “mind body spirit” day. It’s an event that’s fast become a symbol of F – F standing for “FUN”.
With a fast growing team (currently 66), the cultural progression witnessed through days like this is outstanding. All types of events make up the day: team (golf, soccer), individual (yoga, riding, massage), and of course social (organic lunch, happy hour)–all with strikingly similar results, an overwhelmingly satisfying feeling that we all enjoy each other’s company and love what we do.
Of course, incorporating our right coast Trulians remains a challenge (perhaps transcendental meditation will bridge the gap for next time), but reports from New York were highlighted by a noted void of any photographic documentation (commentary from one of our newest additions, Ruth was hilariously vague). As I don my HR cap, this was perhaps a good thing. Hey, NY – we’re always thinking of you!
Friday’s SF events included:
8:00 am – Golf - Jeff 1.0 and I won (rumor has it that we schooled the competition)
9:30 am – Yoga in the office
Noon – Organic lunch + smoothies
2:00 pm – Hula hooping lessons by in-house experts, event guru Stephanie and “who says engineers are all men” Erica, which fast degenerated into a heated hooping-while-running race (Our very own marketing mastermind…uh hum Heather, was surprisingly strong, and vocal in this area)
3:00 pm – Soccer match rallied by design maven Sasha + employee #3/4 (but who’s counting?) Edouard
4:00 pm – A rigorously energetic bike ride lead by engineering top-tech Daniele in what have since been described as 30 – 75 mph head winds
6:00 pm – gathering at “the local”
All in all, an exciting and much deserved day for all of us to remember the importance of Mind, Body, and Spirit.
