Activity Details

“Holiday Celebrations Guide” Digital Book

  • This year we’d like to bring everyone together and share in each other’s cultures and holiday memories in a unique way. Team members are encouraged to contribute a submission individually and/or as a team to our “Holiday Celebrations Guide” digital book. Submissions can include, but are not limited to:
    • A recipe for your favorite holiday meal (main dish, appetizer, dessert, etc.)
    • A recipe for your favorite holiday drink
    • A how-to guide for your favorite holiday craft
    • Fun ways to celebrate the holiday season with family and friends
    • Family outing ideas this time of year
    • How to celebrate the holidays if you are away from family
    • A guide to decorating your house for the holidays
    • Anything you can think of that is special to you this time of year!
  • Submissions are due Dec. 6 and can be made by visiting this survey link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PYKNNQP
  • The completed guide will be shared with team members by Dec. 14 via email and will also be available on our employee website for future reference. Once the guide is distributed to all, we encourage everyone to browse the digital book and make a team member’s recipe or engage in a team member’s idea for celebrating the holidays, and to take a photo of your participation in this. Photos are due by Dec. 19 and can be sent to brilliantideas@ehealthtechnologies.com. They will be shared at the final holiday celebration on Dec. 21.

Team Workspace Decoration Contest: Best Holiday Team Theme

  • Get in the holiday spirit by decorating your workspaces! Managers are encouraged to meet with their teams to decide on a holiday theme, and everyone on that team will decorate their workspaces (in office or remote) to fit that theme. Team members will take a photo of their individual workspaces and send it to their manager. Managers will collect all team workspace photos and send to brilliantideas@ehealthtechnologies.com by Dec. 9, with their name, the names of all team members, and the name of their holiday theme. The winning team will be announced at the holiday town hall meeting on Dec. 14 for a prize!

We look forward to continuing to celebrate the holidays with you and to your participation in the activities above. Be sure to attend each of our virtual gatherings to join in on the fun and take a break with your teammates this holiday season.

 

All the best,

Dan
