At Perficient, we believe that a lively and inclusive workplace is built on enjoyable moments, shared experiences, and a sense of community. From Christmas happiness to Sankranthi traditions and Women’s Day celebrations, our team created some wonderful memories in 2024 and early 2025. Let’s reflect on the love, laughter, and creativity that permeated our workplace during these memorable events!
Christmas Celebration 2024: Spreading Joy and Cheer
Though we’re a little late in sharing, our Christmas 2024 celebration was too memorable not to mention. The office was filled with holiday cheer as we gathered to commemorate the season of giving, generosity, and togetherness.
Our Secret Santa exchange, a timeless tradition, allowed everyone to spread holiday cheer in their own unique and personal way. The mystery of who was buying for whom heightened the excitement, and the thoughtful gifts presented resulted in many smiles and nice moments throughout the company.
Another enjoyable aspect of our celebration was decorating the office Christmas tree. Colleagues gathered to hang ornaments and lights, bringing a festive atmosphere to the workplace. It was a simple yet important exercise that put the Christmas spirit into action.
It was a lovely day of friendship and holiday enthusiasm that left us all feeling upbeat as we closed out the year.
Sankranthi Celebration: A Colourful and Traditional Fiesta
Sankranthi was a tremendous blast at Perficient! The event exemplified our diverse workplace by combining tradition, ingenuity, and team spirit. Here’s a glance at the interesting activities that made the day memorable:
Flower Rangoli Competition
To begin off the festivities, we hosted a floral rangoli competition, in which teams competed to produce vivid, detailed designs. Each team demonstrated their artistic abilities by creating gorgeous rangolis with bright flowers that illuminated the working space. The competition was fierce, and the winning teams received charming prizes as a sign of appreciation for their creativity and perseverance.
Traditional Attire and Best Dressed Awards
Employees were invited to dress in their best traditional attire, and the magnificent, bright clothes that everyone wore left us in awe. To add to the enjoyment, we launched a “Best Dressed of the Day” contest in which employees voted on the most stylish and culturally authentic outfits. It was a visual feast, and the winners proudly took home some wonderful prizes!
Kite Making
Without kites, what would Sankranthi be? Teams created and built their own kites at a kite-making session, giving workers a hands-on experience. It was a fantastic, practical experience that made the day even more exciting.
Women’s Day Celebration 2025: Honouring the Women at Perficient
The International Women’s Day event at Perficient was incredibly touching as we entered 2025. The focus of the day was to honour and recognise the incredible women that contribute to our workplace on a daily basis.
The environment was filled with energy as we hosted a series of interactive games and team-building activities. Everyone was able to connect while honouring the outstanding accomplishments made by women in our organization thanks to these enjoyable challenges. It was a day full of giggles, collaboration, and playful competition!
The day began with a wonderful session on how to meditate and keep calm while juggling the responsibilities of life and work at a workshop held by BK Lakshmi Ben Brahma Kumari. She provided useful strategies for integrating meditation into our everyday routines and underlined the significance of seeking inner peace amid the commotion outside. She asserts that real equilibrium arises from realising the link between inner tranquility and external action. Whether at work, at home, or in any other area, we bring a sense of peace and clarity to all we do when we are spiritually centered. She reminded us that maintaining long-term success and fulfillment requires making time for introspection and developing a calm mind, not as an extravagance. The wisdom of BK Lakshmi inspires us to cultivate our inner and professional well-being in order to establish a harmonic balance that enables women to flourish in all facets of life.
Along with it some fun and interesting activities aimed to bring everyone together. We started out with a spirited game of Charades, but with a twist! Instead of the typical movie or theme-based charades, we concentrated on films that highlight women or have been made specifically to honour women’s tales. The energy was totally contagious!
Sweet touches are essential to any celebration, and our Women’s Day party was no exception. We assembled as the clock struck noon for the much anticipated cake-cutting ceremony. The cake was an exquisite work of art that combined creativity and mystery with a connection to magic and spirituality.
The day was also filled with thoughtful surprises for the women. They were each given a lovely goodie box consisting of goodies and small presents to show their appreciation.They were reminded of their significance and the impact their contributions have on those around them by these small presents.
These occasions have given us numerous chances to unite, commemorate customs, and make priceless memories. From the joyous celebrations of Sankranthi to the festive cheer of Christmas and the empowerment experienced on Women’s Day, each occasion offered a distinct delight. These occasions serve as a reminder of the value of harmony, gratitude, and the unique times that unite our community.
