each team/unit/community or division member should participate in one team building event per year (excluding events like yearly kickoff or open space).
make sure the event includes some sort of workshop/working together/reflection to become better in your day-to-day work.
examples to use the event with your team/unit/division/community are: team building, onsite retros, design thinking, product workshop, dining, lasertag, a bbq boat etc.
an event can be organized as a team, a unit, a community or a division, since not every person in our organization is part of a regular team.
look left and right when organizing an event. Is there someone working closely with you who’s maybe lacking a team? Invite them!
we provide 100€ per person and event a year.
not included in the 100€: travel & accommodation. Book your train and hotels as usual and fill out the travel expense tool.
if relevant, the team event should be held close to where the most team members are located, and must be within Germany.
Team events must be requested at least 4 weeks in advance.
Choose an activity manager for the event from your announced team.
Once you decide on the date and location for your team event (Berlin, Erlangen or Treppendorf/ Bamberg), the activity manager should create a Slack Channel with orga team (Meike, Iva & Lisa) (#teamevent-teamname)
The orga team is committed to supporting you at every step of the way
Booking, reservation and payment of the team activity is done by the orga team.
Exception: Please note that restaurant visits cannot be paid in advance. For team activities involving restaurant meals, the activity manager covers the costs upfront. The activity manager must request a hospitality receipt (Bewirtungsbeleg) from the restaurant. This is essential for reimbursement. After the event, the receipt should be scanned and submitted via our internal expenses reimbursement tool to the accounting team. The original paper receipt must then be handed over in person to the team members in charge at the Erlangen or Berlin offices, or sent by mail to the orga team.
Train and hotel bookings will be made as usual.
Time tracking: put 10h of traveling into Kenjo or ask the person in charge at Thomann GmbH to put it in qtime (for Thomann GmbH employees). If the team event happens at your location of residence, track your normal maximum working hours (e.g. 8h standard)
Once you had a great time, share 1-2 photos and a short description for everyone in #news-slackcast
