Funatix provided an atmosphere where colleagues could interact on all levels. It was great to laugh so hard that my stomach hurt and to see people outside of work hours really enjoying themselves. It was a fantastic time had by all!! Thanks.

TESTIMONIALS

FOR FUN'S SAKE
Thanks so much for coming down to run our activities on Friday – everyone had an absolute ball and loved the activities. I really think your style suits our company – relaxed and fun that facilitates involvement without being too confronting. Everyone had the chance to participate in the whole group or small group challenges – although some of us now have partners who say we owe them big time for getting them involved at the dinner activity – even though they loved it too!

I think the girls from Funatix are great. They are original and keep things going at a good pace. It can’t be easy keeping a room full of adults entertained for a few hours without the influence of alcohol.
Julie Davis - Site Co-ordinator - Neurosensory Unit
I thought the ladies were excellent and really made an effort for us, they had great attitudes and really motivated our group to have fun and participate.

Judy and Kelly of Funatix ran our Christmas function in December 2007 and did a great job. They were a pleasure to work with before the event, and during the event itself I happily relaxed and watched our guests join in the fun and games and have a great time. I don't hesitate to recommend Funatix to you for any workshop, program or event.

I thought the games and tasks were well thought out, and the concept of bringing staff together as people rather than employees is a great idea. I felt that I got a lot out of it, and got involved with colleagues that I ordinarily might not have picked for challenges, so it teaches you a lot about yourself, as well as other people, which can only be a good thing.

All too often you see your bosses and workers as mostly that - but when you’re thrown into a challenge where you have to bond, work together and solve problems, you put everything into it to win.
 

I think more companies should spend the time and resources to take an interest in organising these sorts of events for their staff- it certainly would pay off in the long term in terms of reduced attrition rate at work, making staff and their input seem valued and developing different friendships outside your comfort zone.

Good job Funatix!

CITY HUNT AND GATHER

This is the second event that Funatix have organized for us and it was spectacularly successful. The staff had fun and really entered into the spirit of the event. The focus was on team spirit and this was channeled very well by the Funatix team.

You really know how to bring a workforce together! This event was absolutely fabulous and the office is still alive with chatter about the event.
Rachel Morrison - Executive Assistant, ESI Financial Services

Great idea and well implemented. Better than just a night of social drinking. Love the active nature of Funatix events.

EDUCATION PROGRAMS
Funatix worked closely with us in designing a program that specifically met our needs. The day achieved all of these needs and more! We now have staff that meets regularly to just have 'fun'!

CREATIVE ARTS PROGRAMS
The day gave us an opportunity to 'play' together. We spend so much time 'working' together that sometimes we miss connecting with the human beings around us. This forum provided a relaxed fun atmosphere where we could re-discover our colleagues and relate on a different level.
