Assembling a fluffy frittata while sipping a smooth glass of chardonnay is a sacred experience. But for one second, imagine rubbing shoulders in the kitchen with your closest colleagues and friends, simply playing-- ditching the conventional culinary rules and letting collective inspiration ensue. Here at Cucina Migrante, we not only create farm-to-fork dining experiences, but our mission is to fuel togetherness and camaraderie, imprinting unforgettable memories that warm the heart and soul on the most intimate level.
A different kind of way to reward employees
Now more than ever, humans all over the world are actively seeking this type of bonding experience with family, friends and colleagues. Especially companies with cross-collaborative teams that might be sitting behind a computer desk, feeling a sense of isolation and yearning for a way to connect with fellow peers. This is exactly how we crossed paths with Blueboard, a company pioneering experiential team rewards and reimagining employee recognition. They believe that rewarding employees with cash is completely out. We couldn’t agree more. Instead of gifting teammates with an impersonal gift card or monetary bonus, companies are getting creative-- thinking outside of the box. Gifting a transformational, team building experience forges those meaningful moments that employees wholeheartedly treasure and value at a much more profound level.
A unique team building experience
On Wednesday, July 28, 2021, the lively corporate team at Blueboard joined us for a third time to celebrate company-wide milestones and even a few team member birthdays! These guys are the epitome of experiential advocates-- after all, it’s the foundation of their company. The soiree started without missing a beat-- Chianti overflowed alongside cheese and prosciutto platters we served. Then the vivacious group of nineteen collaborated together on our patio under dainty string lights to cook freshly caught fish prepped with onions, Mediterranean olives and fragrant rosemary alongside a large pot of creamy risotto. You could just see the team synergy bolstering by the second-- not a minute went by without hearing a heartfelt laugh. One girl mentioned it was her first time in a whole year physically meeting her teammates that she “Slacks” everyday. This was a celebration for the books.
We asked the team why they keep coming back to Cucina Migrante and the response was direct and simple, “This is what we do-- these are the types of experiences we believe in.“ When companies go the extra mile to reward employees with experiential adventures, the instant value created is unsurpassable. Company/employee connections are changing rapidly-- it’s not just about putting in eight hours and cashing a paycheck. Employees want to feel a sense of closeness and genuine appreciation, beyond monetary means.
