Fun, sun and cocktails were the order of the day for staff at
a leading telecoms firm in a bid to combat the winter blues.
A luau was held across Daisy’s UK-wide offices on Monday, February 1st, which is
statistically known to be the day on which staff across the UK are most likely to
take a ‘sickie’.
The company hoped the event would help erase the common mix of post-Christmas blues,
general burn-out and the seemingly distant summer by providing staff with extra
incentives to come to work – and enjoy it.
As staff dragged themselves to work on what was a cold, dreary Monday, they were met
with a hula girl and Polynesian guy, who presented them with a pick-me-up non-
alcoholic cocktail and flower lei.
A Hawaiian chill-out area was set up in the offices, where staff could relax during
break times and an inter-office limbo competition was held to raise a few laughs
during lunch. A raffle was also held to give staff the chance of winning free
lunches for a week.
Daisy Chief Operating Officer, Gareth Kirkwood, said: “We never want to think that
our staff would consider taking a ‘sickie’ because they cannot face the day that
lies ahead of them.
“It doesn’t take much effort to raise a smile and a laugh and that is exactly what
we were trying to do on our Hawaiaan themed day.
“If our staff are happy, our customers are happy and while it may cost money to hold
such events, a contented workforce is a priceless commodity in a company which
prides itself on customer service.”
