ALMA

BACKGROUND

Alma, a mental health platform simplifying access to therapy, has made connectivity a priority. They know remote work provides us with increased flexibility, but for those who need to create a sense of connection and boost team morale, it can prove challenging from a distance. The absence of face-to-face interaction can create a sense of disconnection, and the time required to plan, source, and coordinate events can make it difficult for team leaders to prioritize these engaging experiences. According to a study by the Society of Human Resource Management, 89% of employees stated that team-building activities improved their morale and 85% reported improved engagement. The numbers speak for themselves, and that's why Cvent Vendor Marketplace, powered by Reposite, has become a leading tool for virtual and hybrid event planning.

CHALLENGES

Oftentimes, team leaders and executive assistants are tasked with coordinating corporate events, as is the case in each department at Alma. Coordinating and planning these team-building activities manually includes hours of research, phone calls, and emails to find group-friendly, online adaptive suppliers. Using the Cvent Vendor Marketplace, users can simply log into the platform, post their RFP, and begin receiving quotes from qualified virtual experience suppliers in less than 48 hours. 

Partnering with BIOS Apothocary for a sweet virtual experience

BIOS Apothecary, a renowned natural perfumer based in New York, offers an extraordinary virtual team-building experience with their DIY perfume workshops. Participants have the opportunity to engage in a hands-on and immersive scent-based activity, creating their own personalized perfumes from the comfort of their homes. With BIOS Apothecary's expertise and guidance, Alma's team explored the world of fragrance, learned about different scent notes, and crafted unique perfumes tailored to their preferences. This interactive and creative workshop not only fostered team collaboration but also provided a memorable sensory experience.

Crafting creative experiences for Alma's team members

It was fantastic to see the spark of inspiration that came with each team event. Following Alma's engineering team's aromatic adventure, the Sales team embarked on their at-home craft experience with Brooklyn Craft Company. In this workshop, BCC demonstrated how to create pom poms and tassels, and attendees created keychains, bag charms, ornaments, and gift toppers.

They also partnered with Garden Streets, with wellness and mental health as a core theme. Garden Streets takes care of every aspect of the virtual team-building experience, from shipping kits to creating zoom links, so planners have a smooth experience coordinating for their teams.
