It’s a lunch date!

Nothing goes together better than good company and good food! Lunchtime at PlattForm used to be a time of hanging out with your fellow coworkers. However, after a year of explosive growth and a sea of new faces in the halls, we know fewer people and spend less time socializing over a hearty meal. The Interactive Content Development (ICD) team pulled an "Anna Leonowens" on you and decided we should be "getting to know you, getting to know all about you!" Since January, the ICD team has had lunch with a different team at PlattForm each month. We gather for a little food, fun and fellowship with teams we work with both frequently and infrequently. "I thought it was a great opportunity to get to know you all better than we do just exchanging dockets," said Amy Lafferty, a proofer in Quality Assurance. Lunchtime fun has included 21 questions with the proofers, Pictionary with the graphic designers and our own version of the Rorschach inkblot test with the web designers and web masters, to name a few. Our plan to get to know our coworkers has worked, at least for interactive web designer Jodi Augustine. "When you take people out of a normal business setting you learn a lot about their personalities," she said. Anything goes as long as it's good company and good food. We hope to make it through every team at PlattForm when it's all said and done. After all, the team that eats together works well together. Or, maybe not. But as long as there is food and fun, it's a date. A lunch date, that is!
