“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” We’ve all heard of this famous proverb and unfortunately, some of us have probably lived it. Work can be tough and too much of it can be disastrous to our mental, emotional, and physical health; that is why taking breaks are always important, even if it’s in the context of work. In the latter half of 2019, the DPWH Regional Office VI held their Team Building Activity and Christmas party. The two activities were held in order to allow the employees to take a break from their work and enjoy themselves along with their fellow colleagues.
Team Building Activity
On November 11, 2019, the DPWH Regional Office VI conducted their team building at Goducate Training Center, Brgy. Santo Anghel, San Miguel, Iloilo. The activity lasted the whole day, with team building activities in the morning and a special program in the evening. Employees were split into eight teams. The eight teams, named after colors, engaged in team building games that tested their abilities and their teamwork. There were five games in total, each of which required different strategies to win.
