Story time. Our client requested a custom pi?ata for their Cancun offsite. Yes, we got stopped at customs, but here’s how we pulled it off! First, let’s talk about how we got here. Our company, Happied, plans retreats and offsites for companies around the world. Clients love us because we go above and beyond. This challenge was new even for us. We couldn’t find a suitable vendor in Cancun, so we found one locally in Washington, DC. The pi?ata was HUGE (our bad for not giving specs ??). Packing it and getting through customs was a challenge. We ended up going with both Plan A and Plan B. Plan A: Ordered a backup smaller pi?ata to check in a bag. Plan B: Contacted United Airlines for help. They were PHENOMENAL walking us through the logistics. We’d simply wrap the pi?ata and check it in oversized luggage. Shout-out to United Airlines for handling it delicately ??. In Cancun, customs was dramatic. All our bags were held. We got taxed for having multiple electronic devices. But, worry not, 4ft pi?atas are not a problem ??. We made it to the hotel, met our local vendor for the fillings, and hung the big pi?ata. Needless to say, our clients were impressed, and everyone had a blast. Now we can add getting a giant, custom pi?ata through Mexico customs to our resume! ?? Moral of the story we make sh*t happen. That’s why we believe in the human approach to team retreat planning. We figure stuff out and make our clients' visions a reality. #HappiedMakesitHappen #UnitedAirlines

Team feeling burnt out from remote work? Break out of that cycle today: ???? Remote work has become increasingly common, but so has remote work burnout. It's when you feel exhausted, stressed, and disconnected from your work. Sound familiar? Reasons vary — from overwhelming workloads to a lack of team camaraderie. Missing those office chats? You're not alone. The absence of face-to-face interactions can really take a toll on our mental health. Shockingly, a staggering 86% of full-time remote employees experience burnout, and more than half feel unsupported by their employers in dealing with it. Read the full article from Zippia here: https://lnkd.in/ePH2mnWP So, how do we tackle this? Boundaries. Rest. Connection. It's about finding that balance and nurturing those relationships. I’m a strong believer that it is the leadership’s role to foster workplace happiness and nurture strong connections. At Happied, our biannual team offsites are a big part of that. Last year, our Playa del Carmen retreat in Mexico was off the charts. We also have what I think is one of the coolest jobs ever. We help bring other teams together for top-notch offsites and retreats all over the world. Our north star - your employees should leave your offsite feeling PROUD and PUMPED to work for your company. And, your HR and people ops team should not be stressed out planning it (they’re already super busy). If your team is ready for an effortless offsite, Happied has you covered: https://lnkd.in/e8C9GE5s What about you? What steps are you taking to prevent burnout for yourself and your team?
