Annual seminar 2022: A gourmet day to strengthen team cohesion

In December 2022, our company organized its annual end-of-year seminar on the theme of cuisine. This special day aimed to strengthen team cohesion by enabling employees to share convivial, gourmet moments. From the welcome breakfast to the distribution of end-of-year gifts, every step was designed to create bonds between team members. Read on to find out more about this memorable day of culinary sharing.

A warm welcome over a convivial breakfast

The day began with a warm welcome in a festive setting. Employees gathered around a hearty breakfast of fresh pastries, juicy fruit and invigorating hot drinks. It was an opportunity for everyone to relax, chat in a relaxed atmosphere and prepare for the activities ahead.

Presentation of the year's achievements and future objectives

After breakfast, a moment of retrospection and projection was organized to recall the achievements of the past year and to present the company's future objectives. This session was an opportunity to highlight hard work and collective successes, reinforcing the feeling of belonging to a united and dynamic team.

Culinary dive: Preparing dessert, starter and main course

The central part of the day was devoted to an interactive culinary experience. Employees were divided into teams and joined the kitchen workshops to prepare a complete menu together, including dessert, starter and main course. Supervised by experienced chefs, participants were able to get their hands dirty and discover the secrets of culinary delights.


The preparation of the dessert was marked by laughter and a relaxed atmosphere, while the preparation of the starter and main course gave rise to friendly competition, highlighting the hidden culinary talents of certain employees.

Tasting dishes prepared with love

After all the hard work in the kitchen, it was time for the long-awaited tasting. Employees sat down around a large, carefully decorated table to enjoy the dishes they had prepared together. Each team proudly presented its menu and shared anecdotes about the preparation process. This moment of conviviality helped to strengthen bonds between colleagues and to appreciate culinary diversity.

Finalizing the dessert and tasting the sweet creations

After tasting the main courses, the teams put the finishing touches to their desserts. Laughter and camaraderie were the order of the day, as everyone worked to perfect their sweet creations. Once the desserts were ready, everyone gathered around a new gourmet table to enjoy the sweets concocted with passion.

Santa Secret" distribution and end-of-year gifts

To add a touch of mystery and surprise, the tradition of the "Santa Secret" was introduced. Each employee had previously drawn the name of another colleague to give him or her a gift without revealing his or her own identity. This distribution of personalized gifts aroused joy and emotion, strengthening interpersonal bonds within the team. What's more, the company also gave end-of-year gifts to each employee as a sign of recognition for their commitment and dedication.

A festive close to a successful year ahead

The day ended in a festive atmosphere, with a palpable sense of accomplishment and complicity. The annual end-of-year seminar was an unqualified success, creating lasting memories and strengthening bonds between employees. This memorable culinary experience left everyone with positive energy and a promise of a fruitful year ahead for the company.
