Internal Networking: Lunchtime Activities to Try During your Lunch Break
Participating in lunch time activities in the office can be a great way to get to know your colleagues as well as a way to take a break during your working day.
Here are a few examples of lunchtime activities (not just eating lunch) that you can try in the office to boost your internal networking with colleagues:
- Walking group: Consider organising a walking group for co-workers to go for a walk during lunchtime. This can be a great way to get some exercise and fresh air, and to socialize with co-workers.
- Running Club: If you are looking for something a bit more active you might want to consider a running club instead.
- Book club: Consider starting a book club for co-workers to discuss a book over lunch. This can be a great way to encourage reading and to foster a sense of community within the office.
- Lunch and learn: Consider organising a lunch and learn session or series where co-workers can learn about a new topic or skill. This could be a presentation, workshop, or discussion group.
- Outdoor games: If your office has outdoor space or is near a park, consider organising a game of frisbee, boules, football, or other outdoor activity during lunchtime.
- Yoga or meditation: Consider organising a yoga or meditation session during lunchtime to help coworkers relax and recharge.
By offering a variety of lunchtime activities, you can create a sense of community and encourage co-workers to take breaks and recharge during the workday. Just make sure to consider the variety of interests your co-workers might have and be respectful of their time and schedules.
