Our Office Manager, Claire, gives her account of this year’s offsite, and tells us what it taught her about the values of Remerge.

The Offsite

The Remerge Company Offsite is an annual event that sees every employee from across our seven global offices fly to the HQ in Berlin for a series of workshops, before we all jet off together for a relaxing holiday in an exciting foreign destination. At the time of the first offsite, which took place in Lisbon in 2014, the company was so small that everyone was able to stay together in one flat and could fit easily into restaurants without even making a reservation. Four years on, the company now has almost one hundred employees globally. As the team expands, the logistics of organising an event like this becomes trickier - but we don’t let that deter us. As the company grows, the offsite becomes even more crucial.

“Without the offsite, employees might only ever know their colleagues as icons on Slack and Trello.” says Pan Katsukis, our CEO. “The offsite enables them to get to know each other as people and to see where there is room for collaboration and cross-pollination.”
