At BloomTech Solutions, a lively buzz filled the air as National Talk Like Shakespeare Day approached. Intern, Elara, spearheaded the initiative, wanting to infuse some theatrical flair into the typically hectic office environment. Her challenge? Coordinating a company-wide "Shakespearean Scrimmage" – a playful competition where teams had to rewrite modern phrases in Shakespearean English – across three different office locations and a sizable contingent of remote employees.
Elara utilized BloomTech’s internal communication platform for instant updates and team brainstorming. To manage the competition itself, she created a dedicated event page using the company’s event planning tool, outlining rules, judging criteria, and a leaderboard. A budgeting spreadsheet helped her track spending on small prizes – quill pens and miniature scrolls – ensuring she stayed within the allocated funds.
The biggest hurdle was ensuring remote colleagues felt included. Elara leveraged the CRM system to send personalized email invites, encouraging participation and providing links to a shared document where teams could submit their Shakespearean translations. She also scheduled a virtual "Bard Battle" via video conferencing, allowing remote teams to showcase their wit and receive feedback in real-time.
The result? A roaring success! Teams across all locations, both in-person and remote, enthusiastically embraced the challenge, creating hilarious and surprisingly accurate Shakespearean renditions. Morale soared, and a healthy dose of playful competition energized the workday.
