opesus Office Weeks

... an immersive experience best understood when you've been there yourself ;-)

Twice a year, the opesus team comes together for an entire week. During the week, we discuss the strategy and direction of the company, the development of our products, and personal growth. Every voice is heard!

At the heart of our company culture, our office weeks are a mix of

Dynamic sessions discussing new innovative ideas
Team synergy through learning new skills and group work
Open discussions regarding personal growth
Collaborating with exceptional colleagues from around the globe
Cultivating a culture centered on mutual appreciation
Infusing every moment with pure joy and passion for our work

Office Week cooking sessions are a recipe for collaboration, communication, and creative problem-solving.

Cooking together is a staple in our program since our very first Office Week in 2014.

We constantly explore new methods of group work.
In this session we tried the Six Thinking Hats method—a versatile approach to analyzing topics from various perspectives.

We work hard, we also play hard. In the evenings during Office Week, we find different ways to wind down.
Here's a picture of us around an open campfire - roasting marshmallows while singing along to guitar tunes.

The Office Week is also filled with team building activities.

We've done museum visits, mini golf, and here is one of us hiking to a waterfall in the Black Forest.

We're mindful about everyone's well-being. During Office Weeks, the team has the
opportunity to test out exercise balls or wobble boards instead of just sitting in a chair all-day long.

Over the years, we've developed some team traditions. Having a bacon and egg breakfast on the last morning is one of them.
Naturally, we are conscious to our vegetarian and vegan team members as well!

To break up the days, we've included some "team exercise" throughout the day.
Here's one where the challenge was to keep the balloon afloat without using our hands. We've done a dance before too!

Office Weeks are also when everyone gets to meet in person. We've incorporated fun ways to get to know and welcome new team members.
Here's an example where we've turned it into a challenge - everyone's listening and eager to start!
