They say, life is not about waiting for the storm to pass but it’s about learning to dance in the rain. Indeed the Covid-19 pandemic has made us Novaneers do exactly that… DANCE! On 18 September 2020, Nova Pioneer Kenya held its Term Two virtual One Team Day where close to 300 teammates participated in an engaging Movie Themed hour and a half session full of fun, games and laughs.
One Team Day is one of our culture touch points that brings together all teammates across our 6 campuses in Kenya to celebrate the end of term. It is a day filled with gratitude and reflection of the Term gone by and we dedicate time to celebrate our teammates’ contributions big and small.
We always celebrate our Culture Heros – teammates who live out our culture and this term our Heros for Joy of Learning and Always Growing were crowned.
At Nova Pioneer we believe in placing our people first and now even more as we continue to settle into remote working. Our teammates’ wellbeing matters to us and we continue to make deliberate efforts to stay connected while having fun!
Read on to hear what some of our Novaneers had to say about One Team Day:
‘Talk of preparation, teams ‘arriving’ in style, full of enthusiasm and ready to win! Saying it was fun would be a huge understatement. From the cool MCs, to hilarious polls on Zoom to making a trailer of how our quarantine was like…And guess what? This all happened online! Who could have thought one can have so much fun virtually? Indeed, necessity is the mother of invention!’ Salome Akali, Pre Primary Teacher, Tatu Primary
‘This was my very first time attending the One Team Day (OTD) event at Nova Pioneer. All I knew was that I was to wear a hat and sunglasses for the event as instructed through email. I was anxious and looking forward to experiencing this event being barely two days old in the organisation!
I was impressed at how different groups showed up rocking their movie themes and the high levels of interaction filled with appreciation, fun, laughter and excitement. We played so many different games online and it was just an amazing experience.Indeed work without play makes jack a dull boy.’
