As we all await the confirmation of which tier our local area will be in for the next two weeks, I wanted to remind you of a couple of key dates for GC this week.
GC Staff Webinar
You should have received my calendar invite on Friday with the link to the all staff webinar we’re hosting on Wednesday (16 December). Alongside colleagues from the Senior Management Team, I will be sharing an update on our Corporate Strategy, Commitment to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, GC’s financial outlook; business development opportunities, and a preview of our future ways of working.
Given the importance of this, I would like everyone to attend; however, if you are unable to due to prior commitments or you are on leave, we will be sharing a link so you can watch back afterwards. If you would like to submit questions in advance you can do this by emailing comms@growthco.uk. You will also be able to submit questions in the comments section on the day.
It’s virtually Christmas – Friday 18 December
As I said earlier this month, I would like to invite you to clear your diary on Friday (18 December) from 10am-2pm to allow for virtual Christmas celebrations to take place simultaneously across the Group.
From 10-11:30am we will be announcing the winners of the GC Christmas Competitions and hosting GC’s Big Fat Christmas Quiz of the Year. All entries to the competitions need to be sent to social.committee@growthco.uk by Wednesday 16 December and all quiz teams need to sign up by emailing social.commitee@growthco.uk by Thursday 17 December. Winners will get a Christmas hamper supporting local businesses and for Best Team picture we will donate £250 to a charity of your choice.
All the information you need to know about the competitions were shared by the Social Committee last week. If you have any questions or would like to get involved, just drop them an email. The more people who take part the better it will be, so please take a few minutes to take a picture, nominate a colleague and set up your quiz team.
From 11:30-2:00pm you can celebrate within your teams and if you are looking for a quiz platform for up to 50 people to use, please email Ben Jones. Here are some ideas if you haven’t already got a plan of action.
Finally, if you have a favourite festive song don’t forget to send it through to be added to the GC Christmas playlist we will share with you.
I’m looking forward to speaking to you all on the webinar on Wednesday.
