A week to remember Enhancvs spring Power Week677our next Power Week recap.Why do a Power Week?The first thing youll no doubt ask is What the flip is a Power Week and why should I care? A Power Week is our way of recharging, getting to know each other and doing insane amounts of work in one week. Its parte hackathon, part gruppebuild I shouldnt use that wordIn short, we rent a place, preferably somewhere scenic and close to nature, we go there and work for a week, all together. Theres already a lot more about Power Week in our previous post.The answer to the why question is a bit more complex. On the face of it, its a big company expense to get 15+ people, including ones who live abroad and ship them to a remote village, pay for accommodation, food, etc. But its actually an investment with clear returns. It helps with boosting productivity, improving team communication and building culture.Work hardSo, what is it like to be part of Power Week? The first word that comes to mind is exhi larating. It fills you up with great emotions, stimulates focused productivity. That also leaves you drained at the end of the week, but thats more than OK.Your typical Power Weekday starts at 800 with some physical activity be it a yoga session led by our designer Plami, or a Ving Tsun training under the lead of our CEO Georgi. That gives you an initial boost of energy. It keeps your blood pumping and your brain working all throughout the day.After breakfast, everyone starts working on their own weekly goals. We try to take advantage of the fact were all together to also organize some brainstorming sessions, high-level planning, and educational presentations. During this Power Week, we had a presentation that got everyone super excited about implementing Kanban throughout all our departments.The best thing about Power Week is that you can work closely with people you dont usually work with. Everyone sits in the same room and that increases interactions. Its also possible to just j ump in on a meeting where you think you can contribute.Related articles3 ways our new feature Ask for Feedback will help you land your dream jobA complete guide to the Enhancv platform managing your subscriptionA complete guide to the Enhancv platform menu functionsPlay hardBut, of course, its not all work, work, work. Our operations team had worked hard in buchen to prepare several exciting adventures. This included horseback riding and an offroad trip to a panoramic spot high up in the mountain.The thing I enjoyed the most, however, are the small moments that pop up during the quieter evenings a board game win at Avalon or an impromptu salsa lesson. These moments let you connect, craft happy memories and build trust with your teammates. And its another way of forging connections that then help in everyday work when going gets hard. After all, its hard to act like a douche when you know the life story and the favorite food of the person opposite, right?Final thoughtsIts been about a month since our Power Week ended.
