What a way to start the summer! Good food + an amazing location + great people = one awesome adventure!Last week, the whole KDCI family took a trip to the La Luz Beach resort in sunny Laiya, San Juan, Batangas for our annual Team Building event. The trip was spearheaded by Mellany Mercaida, our HR head, in coordination with Conflate World Dynamics Consultancy, who facilitated the activities.The whole crew arrived at the resort just in time for lunch, and everyone was excited about the beautiful resort and all the fun games and activities in store.

The entire group was split into six teams, with members from different KDCI accounts. This ensured that everyone got a chance to meet and interact with people from other accounts. Before the games began, the teams were given time to meet each other and were asked to set their goals for the fun-filled day ahead.The teams competed in three games: Photo hunt, Cross the river, and Catapult-building.In the Photo hunt activity, the teams were required to take photos of 10 different scenes. Here are some of the most exciting ones!

In the Cross the river activity, the teams were challenged to cross the “river” using three cases of beer. This required a lot of flexibility as the whole team had to fit and balance on top of the beer cases all while moving towards the goal.

In the Catapult-building game, the teams were given various materials to build a makeshift catapult, and the team whose catapult threw an egg the farthest would be declared the winner. This game was done beachfront, and it was entertaining to see the teams working together to create the best contraption.

By the end of the day, everyone was exhausted from playing games and running around on the beach, but happy about meeting new people and making new friends. The games and activities conducted were not only fun but were also meaningful as well. They showed everyone the importance of teamwork, communication, and trust in one another – all lessons that can be applied in the workplace as well as in life.The team building event was an excellent way for people from different KDCI accounts to come together and interact with each other, and it was an immensely fun way for people to relax and take a short break from work. We’re refreshed, recharged, and ready to face the rest of the year with high spirits!Here’s to more exciting events and fun times with the KDCI family!
