Communication of good practices, diversity awareness and HR news while socializing around theme food and drinks.
Once a month, all employees, management included.

A few years ago, we started celebrating monthly birthdays by sharing a breakfast or afternoon snacks. Since then, we have added some corporate news of the month that concerns everyone, in particular the official welcome for new employees. Since signing the charter, we have decided to strengthen our communication on diversity, respect for individuality and difference of minds and opinions.

Our main objectives are to encourage socialization between our RSM teams and entities in Luxembourg, communicate about various events and in particular social and sporting initiatives, encourage participation, officially welcome new employees by briefly introducing them to everyone.
The theme linked to the event allows people to discover celebrations of other nationalities/religions, around a convivial moment (Easter, end of Ramadan, Galette des rois, country theme, St Nicolas, Europe Day, International Women's Rights Day, etc.).

Throughout the month we think about the information that is relevant to share, inspired events and above all theme of the monthly HR communication. We invite all via outlook, we use PowerPoint to present and share pictures on LinkedIn afterwards.
We encourage our employees to share info and our receptionist manages the food and drinks orders. Our HR team prepares the slides and the DHR presents in English in order to be understood by all.

It is always easier to meet new people around food and drinks. It is the occasion to meet new colleagues. We hope it open minds on differences, helps people to "break" their usual social group to meet new people. We systematically have positive feedback on these events.
