It doesn’t cost more than 15 seconds and it can make our teammates’ day! #kindness #teamspirit When we leave work at the end of the day, we try to make sure we’ve sent our briqs to people we think should be recognized. We encourage employees to use their briqs daily to give a coworker (or two) a shoutout or even simply a “thank you”. We pay attention to the products available on the e-shop and make sure that they fit with our core values. Products on the Bootiq change with time but some of them have been there for a while, as victims of their own success, such as books related to personal growth, breakfast for your team, subscription fees to a sporting event, afterwork drinks for your team, donations to a NGO, a trip to another AB Tasty office of your choice, etc. 🧱 What can we do with these Briqs?Īll briqs received from teammates can be redeemed in our Bootiq (our personal e-shop on which briqs can be spent) 🎁. Employees can then decide how and to whom they want to send their briqs. This command allows us to send a chosen amount of briqs (anywhere from 1 to 3) to a colleague of our choosing, with a message thanking them and explaining why we gave them the briqs, then adding a hashtag with one of our values (because everything we do revolves around our values 😊).Įveryday, AB Tasty offers 4 to 6 briqs to each employee. ⚙️ How does it work?Īll employees have the power to take part in it simply by using a specific command on Slack.
#BRIQS WIKI PROFESSIONAL#
With the briqs we get, we are then able to buy things on a dedicated e-shop (handled by ourselves), such as personal professional growth tools, or even a trip to another AB Tasty location around the globe. There are many ways to thank an employee for their hard work and great behavior, and we use Briq to do so, which is our awesome tool to share the team spirit and reward each other for what we love about the other great people in the AB Tasty community!īriqs are a virtual currency that employees send to each other and redeem for items.Įach one of us is granted with the mission of showing our teammates they matter, celebrating every single victory and making our values and spirit live on a daily basis.Īs stated above, the purpose is simply to give love and “reward” our colleagues everyday using Slack. As someone who suffered badly from dyslexia as a child I know first hand that how my buddies learnt wasn’t how I learnt best.At AB Tasty, we bring forth and celebrate each other’s cultures in both the workplace and work process because we value our collaborators, and we want to make them aware of it. Here lies the greatest challenge of all educational and learning models- designing a solution which treats each learner differently. We need to design a model which can scale but one which treats each member as an individual member with very different needs. We need to make sure that where appropriate we bring others in to offer support, advice and mentorship to our members. They may be unsure of exactly what training they need or regular chats with Theo and I and their fellow briqs members may be their idea of hell.Įither way we need to make sure that the level of support we offer briqs members takes all of this and much more into account. Everyday cooking has the ability to spark connection and creativity. They may struggle to juggle a first job with skills training. Sourced from classic woods like hickory and applewood, Spark’s proprietary charcoal Briqs are packed with an unparalleled amount of flavour and make for more mouth-watering meats. For other members this support may miss the mark.

It's been roughly 6 weeks since our last post dropped into your inbox so time for a quick briqs update.Ĭohort 1 closed successfully and we have our first briqs members making their way in their first jobs and as they do so we are stepping up our support of them.Īll briqs members (alongside a job) receive £1500 skills budget, peer to peer support from other briqs members and on-going support from Theo and I.įor some of our members this level of support may be ideal and provide them with the early stage boost that they need in their career.
