A couple of weeks back, the BAM team celebrated Christmas with a bang at the Zazou Lounge in downtown Toronto. Not only is the BAM Christmas party a time to relax, have some fun and get to know each other and each other’s families a little better, it’s a time for celebration. It’s a celebration of comradery and teamwork and celebrating the year that was, which, with its ups and downs, was one of our best.
One thing I like in particular about the BAM Christmas party is having the spouses/partners see what BAM is all about. The BAM employees are high-energy people; they’re very engaged and often make personal sacrifices to make sure their job gets done. It’s important for the families to witness that type of engagement in action and I’m sure they took notice of how well we get along. It’s also important to put a face to the names they only hear at home.
The major highlight of this year’s party was the team’s assignment to construct a video about why they should win a set number of prizes. I could not be more impressed with their output. The results showcased the creativity, interest and engagement by a great group of people.
But ultimately, it’s Christmas. Our party is a way for me to say thanks to everyone for their hard work, determination and sacrifice over the past year in making BAM grow. The party was a huge success and you better believe it set the tone for next year. Our engines are revving and ready to go in 2014.
