Work meets pleasure: Team spirit and tradition at BLUE-ZONE GmbH

“First work, then pleasure” - but is this saying still up to date, or are the boundaries between work and leisure time becoming increasingly blurred? In this article, we show how team spirit and commitment to professional goals are not only lived but also celebrated at BLUE-ZONE GmbH.

According to a study by Gartner, the importance of work-life balance has changed significantly across the generations. While baby boomers focus more on work than leisure, work-life balance is becoming increasingly important for Generation X. For millennials and the next generation, work-life balance is now just as important as professional success. ( Gartner)

At BLUE-ZONE, work-life balance is not an empty promise, but is practiced by all colleagues as a matter of course - not through rigid rules, but through a natural integration of work and private life. A good example of this is a spontaneous idea to celebrate the fall with a visit to the local folk festival - an initiative that has developed into a team event.

It all started quite casually: during weekly meetings, colleagues talked about their visits to the Rosenheim Autumn Festival. The idea of going together was soon born. Discussions began about who would dare to come to the office in traditional costume, and the idea of sharing the experience on social media came up. Within a short time, the date was set and even colleagues traveling from further away brought their lederhosen. What began as a small date developed into a team event with 18 participants who immersed themselves in the local tradition together.

What does this story show us? You can't plan true team spirit - it comes from dynamic developments and shared experiences. It's about creating opportunities that promote team cohesion. Such activities not only strengthen the sense of togetherness, but also create unforgettable moments that bring the team closer together.

In addition to this lively sense of community, BLUE-ZONE GmbH offers an environment that promotes a good work-life balance. Flexible working hours, mobile working and the freedom to integrate personal interests into everyday working life ensure that our employees are successful both professionally and privately. Because we are convinced that job satisfaction and life satisfaction go hand in hand.
