Isn't it true that happy people work happily?
Why HR/companies/startups should care about games in the workplace.
Team bonding is crucial in the workplace as it fosters trust, collaboration, and a sense of belonging among team members. It creates a supportive and positive work environment, enhances communication and cooperation, boosts morale and motivation, and ultimately leads to increased productivity and success. Strong team bonds encourage open dialogue, the sharing of ideas, and the ability to work through challenges together. It also helps create a cohesive team that can overcome obstacles, celebrate successes, and build long-lasting relationships.
However, you may wonder, "How can playing games at work possibly foster team bonding?" Well, allow us to show you the magical connection between gaming and team spirit! ππ
Unity Unleashed: Games have this incredible ability to unite people like nothing else! Just like in a cooperative game, when we collaborate towards a common goal, our teamwork and camaraderie skyrocket! By incorporating games into the workplace, HR, companies, and startups can harness this power to strengthen team bonds and promote effective collaboration among employees. ππ₯
Joyful Journeys: Remember those moments of pure joy and laughter when we played games as kids? Well, it turns out, embracing our playful side as adults fosters a positive work environment! By introducing games in the workplace, HR, companies, and startups can create a sense of fun and enjoyment, boosting employee morale and overall job satisfaction. A happier workforce is a more engaged and productive one! π
Unwind and Recharge: Let's face itβwork can be challenging and stressful at times. But fear not! Games offer a fantastic escape from the daily grind, allowing employees to unwind, recharge, and return to work with renewed vigor! By incorporating games into the workplace culture, HR, companies, and startups can provide employees with a healthy outlet for stress relief and rejuvenation. This, in turn, leads to increased focus, creativity, and productivity. πβ‘
Break Down Barriers: Games are the ultimate icebreakers! They break down barriers, encouraging open communication and bonding between team members. By incorporating games into team-building activities or events, HR, companies, and startups can create a relaxed and inclusive atmosphere that fosters meaningful connections and friendships. These connections extend beyond the game, leading to improved collaboration and cooperation in the workplace. π€π
Epic Memories: The memories we create through gaming experiences are timeless treasures. From epic victories to hilarious mishaps, these shared moments become stories that we'll cherish and share for years to come! By incorporating games into the workplace, HR, companies, and startups can create opportunities for employees to forge unforgettable memories together.

Zannoza Community update
A lot has been going on at Zannoza, and I'm always here to bring you the entirety of it.
We were invited to attend the Nigeria-France partnerships in technology and cultural and creative industries with H.E. Mrs. Emmanuelle BLATMANN (Ambassador of France to Nigeria) and Mrs. Chrysoula ZACHAROPOULOU (Minister of State for Development, Francophonie, and International Partnership).
The Nigerian creative Industry has been receiving a lot of attention lately and creatives need to think more about doing quality work collaborating with each other.
We were at the #GAMINGONTIKTOK event hosted by TIKTOK. TikTok wishes to promote game developers. Although there is currently no monetization of TikTok content in our region, we can fight our battles one at a time. You can use the attention that gaming content receives to grow your following and content if you play or create games.
We just became an exclusive global partner for the Largest Teambuilding and Game Experience Network in the world. This means we get to distribute, access exclusive games and collaborate with over 50+ game experience companies who are leaders in their region and serve brands like Tesla, shell etc. across the world.
