How Paysera nurtures team spirit at its annual Summer Fest
A tradition that Payserians look forward to every year
As summer approaches, Payserians – both new and veteran – know it’s time for one of the most exciting events on our calendar: the annual Summer Fest. And what could feel more like summer than a fiesta-themed party?
Just like any great fiesta, we’ve enjoyed tapas, paella, sombreros, and lots of bright colours with our colleagues. But no matter the theme, we always include kayaking and team bonding games as part of the tradition.
Let the barriers between departments fall!
Having a reliable team is great, especially since we spend so much time at work. But it's also important to work well with people from other departments – everyone’s work is interconnected, after all.
For example, when a hypothetical Susan from Marketing teams up with a hypothetical Jack from IT, knowing each other personally can make a big difference. It’s much easier to collaborate effectively when you’re familiar with one another beyond just online messages.
Spending time together outside of work tasks – whether through fun activities or friendly competitions – helps build stronger relationships and better teamwork. And it's not just a theory; it’s something we've seen to be true time and time again.
This is why Paysera works hard to create fun events, like the Summer Fest, where employees from different departments can bond outside of work.
