At Thor Companies, we value celebrating achievements both inside and outside the workplace. Recently, we embarked on a remarkable adventure to Barcelona for our first ever Global Super Trip. Join us as we delve into this unforgettable journey through the eyes of Danny, a Talent Acquisition Specialist at Thor for almost three years.
Tell us about this trip - what was the highlight of the 3 days?
The 3 days trip was action-packed, and filled with so many memorable moments. We spent our days at a stunning hotel which had a rooftop infinity pool and terrace. In the evenings we ate delicious tapas and explored the unique bars that the Eixample area had to offer. For me, the trip reached its peak on Friday, after relaxing poolside we went and watched a Barcelona vs. Seville match, followed by some unforgettable karaoke including Sivert's rendition of Taylor Swift's Blank Space. Then, we continued the party at Club Razzmatazz until the early hours of the morning.
Saturday was the highlight however, we visited the famous W Hotel where we had our own private cabana with a hot tub to watch the breathtaking sunset.
Travelling with colleagues can be a unique experience - how did the trip strengthen your relationships?
What I’ve always loved about Thor is how sociable, diverse, accepting and welcoming all employees at Thor are and I can't emphasize enough how this inclusive and sociable culture made this trip truly extraordinary.
It gave us all a great opportunity to get to know each other on a personal level outside of our usual work interactions, especially those who joined us from across the pond in our New York office which really showed us how crucial it is to maintain a strong company culture beyond our usual work setup.
I would sum up this trip in 3 words - Lifetime Memories Made.
It wasn't just about celebrating success; it was about creating lasting memories that we will cherish for years to come.
Professionally and personally, what will you take away from this experience?
Being part of this trip was a validation of the passion and effort that I put into my work. Sharing the experience with colleagues I had personally placed within the company made it even more special. There were so many cultural experiences and funny moments throughout the trip that it's hard to recount them all. Each bar we visited had its own unique charm, and the karaoke performances provided some hysterical live entertainment. The trip had so many funny interactions, one liners, conversations and moments to remember - for example, sharing Pizza at 6 am after a night out with the left-standing team members de-briefing about all the hilarious moments from the trip!
My advice for future Global Super Trip attendees: "ENJOY IT!" Embrace new cultures, foods, drinks, and activities with an open mind.
How did the trip showcase Thor's company culture to potential recruits?
It showed the commitment that Thor has to creating a vibrant company culture and fostering strong bonds among employees. It's a testament to the unique experiences and lasting memories that await those who join us.
