Art For Lunch

Due to recent reports of a venture capital funding slowdown and quiet rumblings about the fading sparkle around the technology sector’s halo, analysts now advise companies to take a more practical and budget-friendly approach to employee perks and team-building activities. Given this chilling funding climate, tech analyst Jonathan Cheung recently declared: It means an end to some of the perks that many tech companies have become accustomed to in recent years. It’s time to be... responsible. Luckily, human resource professionals and activity planners need not despair!

The California Education Partners group had a great ART FOR LUNCH session on Dec. 14. They created individual photo transfers that illustrate the mission and focus of their work. Those transfers will be assembled into a larger work that will then hang in their office. Good times with colleagues and beautiful work!
