Sysco LABS reimagines a hybrid workplace strengthening employee engagement
With the growing shift towards hybrid and remote work, Sysco LABS Sri Lanka, the captive innovation centre for Sysco Corporation, the global leader in foodservice, has successfully redefined the nature of work, driving a high level of engagement and a stronger sense of purpose.
Sysco LABS, at the forefront of rapidly changing technologies and innovation, understands the pre- Covid day- to- day rituals that created cohesive and robust relationships, have changed, with associates now transitioning between coming into office and or choosing to work remotely.
Recognising that people are social beingswith camaraderie helping to forge bonds leading to a happy, inspired and creative workforce, Sysco LABS have for the past few months initiated a series of innovative employee engagement activities. Among the events held so far this year are Sysco LABS Happy Hours–informal fun work gatherings to encourage employee comradery, The Connect – an internal weekly knowledge sharing exercise, Purpose Led - Leader Sessions, Diversity & inclusion sessions, PerfUp– an external event focussed on developing the local performance engineering practice etc.
Also making a significant contribution towards building company-wide engagement is the Sysco LABS Ministry of Fun which was conceived early in the company’s history. Now, the in- house committee decides the style and temperament of the events the rest of the employees enjoy every year. They organise both competitive and non-competitive events, from inter-tribe games and tournaments to annual events like the New Year celebrations.
