At Factual, one way we foster and build relationships within our teams is through our monthly company events, where employees at each office have the opportunity to enjoy different activities in their city and spend time with their office mates. We’re proud to say that these events have helped us build a close-knit Factual community.
During these company events, we make a point to visit unique places in our local community that our team may not necessarily visit on their own. For example, our headquarters is located in Los Angeles, so our LA-based employees have enjoyed trips to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Greystone Mansion, and The Broad Museum.
In addition to discovering our local city gems, we value the time we get to spend together during these activities. The events allow for great team bonding across the organization and across teams. Many of our events inspire the teams to get together outside of work by trying new adventurous restaurants, biking or hiking during the weekend, or even enjoying a vacation with a colleague and friend. Our many Slack channels reflect all of the unique interests within our culture and some of them were even created after discovering shared interests at one of our events.
Our monthly company events are open to any and all employees and are a fun activity that our employees genuinely look forward to. Here are a few past events that we have hosted in the last couple of years:
