Part of my scope as a Learning Coordinator is to organize a quarterly new-joiners event for Danoners joining the company in the last couple of months. This is a 30-50 people event, where the aim is for new Danoners to get to know the company's values, culture and categories better. We strive for showing them the learning journey at Danone & facilitate fun activities and networking opportunities.

During the last event I got the opportunity to revamp one of our Culture training activities for the new joiners. Through an interactive session, the participants explored our HOPE values and put on paper what the values mean to them. I came up with the activity, explained it successfully to our participants and lead the discussion after Danoners presented their posters about the HOPE values. 

One of my other significant contribution is organizing a Marketplace with representatives of important Danone topics and categories. Last time we had six engaging booths, where our new joiners delved into everything from product innovation to digital learning. During the event I represent the Learning Team with facilitating the Digital Learning booth with one of my team members each time. Before the event I connect with several internal stakeholders describing the event, convincing them to participate and collaborating on coming up with activities they can bring to their booth during the Marketplace.

Apart from this I host a quiz & social bingo during the event - the latter was my addition, which is always a big hit while also stimulating networking and making connections among participants.

Prior to the event I am in contact with the facilities team of the offices to make sure the catering, room layout and any specific needs are met on the day of the event. I am also in charge of the small gifts, tastings we provide for the new-joiners during the event.

Check out the LinkedIn post I wrote about our last event's success, which got more than 4000+ impressions. And down below please see some pictures of the last event on 2 July 2024.
