September Growth Spurt [competition announcement]

[#1]

Since this Teamwork Lab group is relatively new, we're still feeling out what members want to see. So we thought we'd run a quick program to help us uncover the types of content that yield the most engagement.

Translation: we want to see you generate the engagement you want to see more of for this group. In turn, we created this "growth spurt." 

The details

• What: the top 25 most active members in the Teamwork Lab group win a "bluetooth enabled portable meditative light and sound therapy speaker" (see attached photo), or depending on your mailing address, we may send another gift of appreciation that will aid productivity and creativity in your workspace.
• When: it's a two-week period. September 6 through September 26, 2021.
• How: 
  • Create a new article about something you've learned about Ways of Working.
  • Start a new "Dear Work Therapist" question. 
  • Attend an event (e.g. we'll have our first AMA--Ask Me Anything--on the "dogfooding" practice during this time period). 
  • Feedback on articles (e.g. we'll be posting articles foreshadowing upcoming events and looking for feedback).
  • Engage with new members.
  • Ask questions that you need input on or that you think will help others in the group improve the way they work.
  • Like and vote on other member content you think is valuable.

We'll announce the winners the last week of September.

PS - soundscape in the workspaces matters, so hopefully this will improve your productivity and emotional well-being. In other words, this gift is really a means to improving the way you work ;)

[Christine P_ Dela Rosa]

You never know, @Fadoua . It's anyone's game right now!

[nina_schmidt]

Wait… where is the lavender plant gone too? 
A speaker is cool too ☺️ 

[Christine P_ Dela Rosa]

We weren't able to fulfill the plants for everyone worldwide :( so we decided to get something everyone had access to. Thank you for understanding, @nina_schmidt !

[Fadoua]

@Christine P_ Dela Rosa  what type of events can we attend?

• Attend an event (e.g. we'll have our first AMA--Ask Me Anything--on the "dogfooding" practice during this time period). 

Thank you!

@Fadoua we have our second AMA up, soliciting questions for the next week until the guests answer them one week from today - https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Teamwork-Lab-questions/Ask-Us-Anything-INTERNAL-HACKATHONS-from-ShipIt-to-evolving-the/qaq-p/1810785. And then every two weeks we'll have more AMAs (async, written events) on different practices.

As for our next live event, we'll be holding a Zoom event on the 4-day work week in October. Stay tuned for that one. And then in November, we'll be holding a live event on team health based on fresh data, with the researcher behind the study.

@Christine P_ Dela Rosa  sorry for my multiple questions. This competition will end on the 26th and the Hackathon will happen on the 28th.

I am confused, I am sorry

[Christine P_ Dela Rosa]

You can still submit questions on the Hackathons event today (or before the 26th) :)
