Ephox is 10 years old and to celebrate we flew everyone in from our US and UK offices to where it all began … Brisbane.
The celebrations kicked off with a party on Thursday followed by a weekend away at the Hyatt Coolum for employee’s and their partners.
While the weekend away did provide an opportunity to talk shop, it was the personal conversations that I feel pay the biggest dividend.

In my post on retention the other day I mentioned we were planning to trial monthly neck and shoulder massages in the Brisbane office. Well today we had our first ones.
The masseur arrived with their own special chair and relaxing music and setup in our boardroom. We each had a 15min massage and the general consensus was a big thumbs up. So we shall continue these as part of our overall health & well-being initiative.
