Each year, our company registers a team in the annual marathon for charity. It is not mandatory for the staff to take part, but we have learned that it tends to be a lot of fun and it brings us all a lot closer as a team, both in the office and out of it.

This year, the marathon committee sent us out some business forms to fill in with our team information and to help gather donations for the charity that they were supporting this year. I posted the information on the bulletin board in the lunch room and participant interest this year is higher than it ever has been before.

All of the marathon runners were given recruitment documents to fill out and several of the staff members started walking together during their lunch breaks to try and get into shape for the marathon. I am sure proud of my staff.
