Retiro de Empleados: ¡Orgánico, Competitivo e Inclusivo!

 A finales de agosto, todos los empleados de Pueblo a Pueblo en Guatemala gozaron del II retiro anual de empleados. Este año visitaron Atitlan Organics (una granja orgánica permacultural) ubicada en Tzununá donde caminaron a una cascada remota. En la tarde, los empleados tuvieron partidos amigables de básquetbol y fútbol y al día siguiente un taller sobre liderazgo inclusivo concluido con un gustoso churrasco para almuerzo.

Más de la mitad del personal en Guatemala trabaja en el campo, fuera de la oficina,  lo cual a veces dificulta la convivencia y conciencia de equipo.

 “Fue muy agradable poder conocer a otros miembros del equipo Pueblo a Pueblo. No todos trabajan en la oficina de Santiago y aun aquellos que sí, están en la oficina por un par de horas durante la semana. Así que, como una de las nuevas adiciones a Pueblo a Pueblo, yo finalmente sentí que podía conectar con el grupo entero. Y la belleza natural de la granja Tzununá fue increíble.” - Robin S, Socia Relaciones Externas

 El convivio permitió que compañeros interactuaran en un ámbito menos profesional, lo cual ayuda a conectarse a nivel más personal y así crecer juntos como equipo.
 
“Pienso que la parte que más me gustó fue la de los partidos, ya que esta fue la primera vez que realizamos algo así, en el cual todos jugamos, reímos, corrimos y la mejor parte es que todos compartimos este momento tan divertido que pocas veces hacemos por cuestión de las responsabilidades laborales que tenemos.”- Johanny, Gerente de Proyecto Becas Educación Primaria

Pueblo a Pueblo reconoce la importancia de ofrecer oportunidades para el desarrollo profesional, permitiendo una reflexión interna sobre el trabajo diario y utilizando la experiencia del trabajo realizado para fortalecer el liderazgo organizacional. Por eso como parte del Retiro de Empleados se desarrolla siempre un taller interno.

“Del Taller, recibí técnicas de cómo ser un líder inclusivo - por ejemplo el método EACH [de Empoderamiento, Responsabilidad Social Individual, Coraje y Humildad]. Aprender a utilizarlo y practicarlo es algo que me ayudará mucho como educadora en el Proyecto de Huertos.” - Celia, Educadora del Proyecto Huertos Orgánicos Escolares

 ¡Aplausos por un retiro de empleados 2015 exitoso!

All Staff Retreat: Organic, Competitive and Inclusive!

 At the end of August, the Pueblo a Pueblo staff in Guatemala gathered together for 2nd Annual All Staff Retreat. This year the staff visited Atitlan Organics, a permaculture inspired, organic farm located in Tzununa where they hiked to a hidden away waterfall. In the afternoon they had a friendly basketball and soccer and the next day a workshop on inclusive leadership that concluded in a tasty barbeque for lunch.

More than half of the staff based in Guatemala frequently work in the field and are out of the office – making it difficult at times to check in with one another and catch up.

 "It was so nice to get to know other members of the Pueblo a Pueblo team.  Not everyone works in the Santiago office and even those that are may only be in the office for a few hours during the week, so I finally felt like I was able to connect with the entire Pueblo a Pueblo group.  Also, as one of the newest staff members, after the staff retreat I felt like I was part of the team and no longer just the newcomer.  And the natural beauty of the Tzununa farm was unbelievable." - Robin S, Grants Associate

Not only that, but being able to interact with co-workers in a lesser professional work setting also helps facilitate further connection and reconnection among personnel. Staff retreats provide a space for all co-workers to reconnect and grow together as a team!

“I think the part that I liked the most was the games. This was the first time we did something where we all were playing, laughing, running and the best part is that we were all sharing in that fun moment that many times, because of the responsibilities that we have, we do not often do.” – Johanny, Primary Education Scholarships Project Manager

Pueblo a Pueblo recognizes the importance of providing opportunities for professional development, allowing staff to reflect on their everyday work and how to use their work experience to further strengthen organizational leadership. That is why an internal workshop is developed as part of the All Staff Retreat.

“From the workshop, I gained new skills on how to be an inclusive leader – for example, the EACH method [of Empowerment, Accountability, Courage and Humility]. Learning to use and practice this method is something that will help me a lot as an educator with the organic gardens project.” – Celia, Organic School Gardens Educator

Here is to a successful 2015 All Staff Retreat!
