HYDRAULICS company Enerpac Australia says their annual teambuilding event was a great success.
Enerpac says that only three of the 22 staff members are female, so this year they decided to hold a team cook-up with VictorsFood which effectively created a level playing field and an opportunity for everyone to interact.
“Each year we have a sales conference wherein all the [Territory Managers] come to Sydney for a few days and are usually stuck in a conference room all day every day,” says Sue Southerden from the Accounts Department of Enerpac.
“On one of the nights [the office staff] get together with the [Territory Managers] for dinner. This is the only time we as a company are together at the same time.”
Sue says doing a team cook-up with VictorsFood rather than the usual dinner was a great idea.
“I loved it. Feedback from the guys and office staff was also very positive. It was good to see everyone enjoying themselves and getting along as a team.”
VictorsFood Director Victor Pisapia says “seeing this group of mostly male hydraulic engineers chopping, dicing and flambeeing reinforced my experience that everyone can cook. At first they seemed out of their element but what I loved about this group is that they just jumped in and went for it.”
