Djill: "We now have a loyal group of followers, but we also see new faces every month. With over 2,500 colleagues in the Conclusion ecosystem, we cannot reach everyone personally. That is why we encourage participants to act as sports ambassadors. We ask if they can also distribute new events through their own Conclusion company. And it works! People come to our events from all corners of the Netherlands.
Our goal is to involve as many colleagues as possible from different Conclusion companies. When dividing teams, we consciously make sure that acquaintances do not sit together, so that new connections are created. We notice that some colleagues also know how to find each other after an event. You also talk to each other about your work or company. In projects, it can come in handy if you know that a colleague from another company has a certain expertise. In this way, we not only ensure a pleasant and sporty day, but we sometimes also reap the benefits in our projects!
After each year, we evaluate what our colleagues think of the sports. We take this into account when making the planning for the following year. Last year, beach volleyball emerged as the winner. That was our very first event and that day was also super fun! The weather was lovely with a drink and barbecue at the end. In the end, I didn't leave until 10 p.m., while colleagues were still lingering."
How do you combine your own work with Conclusion Sport?
"The trick is to distribute the work well," says Djill. "Of course, it takes extra time in addition to your regular job. But it's great to see how Conclusion Sport is embraced by our company. It gives me so much energy! I don't even mind working on Sunday evenings, because I don't see it as work, but as a passion."
