Maintaining a sense of connection, wellness and fun

June 10, 2020June 16, 2020
by Nicole Bailey

As Australia starts to see the light at the end of the COVID tunnel, we are slowly starting to enjoy the lifting of restrictions that have had a huge impact on our working world. The term ‘new normal’ has been used heavily over the last 10 weeks as we moved from offices to homes to keep our staff and our community safe. As we planning the slow transition back to the office in some of our regions in the coming months, and it’s given us time to reflect on how we were able to keep connection a priority during this time.

We are a global team and work seamlessly no matter our geography. Being a technology business, were able to adjust quickly to the way of working. Our consultants continued to focus on or customers’ needs by achieving project success without skipping a beat, continuing to celebrate successful project “go lives” and welcome new customers on their own ServiceNow journey.

We also learned that being 100% online did not mean we needed to lose connection – and at Enable, we really know how to have fun! Over the last 10 weeks, we have enjoyed an excess of fun online social activities with our colleagues that have focused on learning about each other, supporting each other and ensuring we are all well and healthy : from Friday night pub quizzes to virtual cooking classes. Here are some of the ways we have maintained a sense of connection, wellness and fun with our colleagues and customers during COVID-19:

Virtual Cooking Classes

Sydney Team Challenge / Roti Making Melbourne class, From Master Chef-style cooking challenges to roti making classes, our Melbourne and Sydney teams learned some new skills and enjoyed so iso cooking together.

Enable Pub Friday

Each Friday we enjoyed a well-deserved drink together, virtually of course. We also participated in a brilliant general knowledge quiz. Hosted by Bruce Hara, Enable CEO questions written by his two super smart children. An invitation was extended to some of our customers and ServiceNow representatives to join in on all the fun.

15 Minute Magic Time

Enable’s Head of Delivery, Davina Simpson, created an amazing initiative where all 250 Enablers get to meet a colleague from another location. 15 Minute Magic Time randomly selects two Enablers each week to meet online and get to know their colleagues, where ever they are in the world.

Zoom Filters/Fancy Friday

Some of our colleagues let their creativity fly, finding fun ways to add filters their video ( Snap Filter Link) and turn their own video into a potato, a pickle, an Elf King or a unicorn. Others joined Friday night pubs in a full tux to bring a little class to the evening.

Launched LinkedIn Learn

While we are all working hard, the Head of People and Culture, Rachel Sparkes, proudly launched our new arm in our training tool kit. Launching LinkedIn learn to our Enablers to develop their soft skills

Album Challenge

A challenge was thrown down by our Head of CASE, Ian White, to recreate album covers of their favourite musician. The Friday night presentation was met with hysterical laughter as we enjoyed the creative pursuits of our colleagues.

Fitness Friday session

As most of us live in capital cities, our usual commute to work is via public transport while we have a little more time available we may not be getting in as much exercise as we did pre COVID-19- the Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane teams encouraged each other to keep moving by hosting fitness sessions and team meetings while out walking.

Hackathon Challenges

Participation in Hackathons in collaboration with key customers x 3

Not one, not two but three Hackathons, our teams participated in the ACS Hackathon and had two team submission to ServiceNow’s Social Good Hackathon.

As we safely start to transition back to our offices, we are excited about connecting with other Enablers IRL (in real life).

ACS Hackathon

by Nicole Bailey

Enable are pleased to be a part of the ACS Hackathon

The team entered a Hackathon run by the Australian Government and the Australian Computer Society (ACS) with a theme of #FlattentheCurve.

Over 2,400 competitors from around the world entered what’s been described as ‘the biggest hackathon in the Asia-Pacific’ last weekend.

The ACS “Flatten The Curve” hackathon saw more than 200 teams compete for $50,000 in prize money with 43 shortlisted across five categories: Education, Assisting Health Care, Protecting the Vulnerable, the Future of Work, and Wellness and Mental Health.

“The scale was larger than any held in APAC before, with so many competitors, mentors and partners from so many backgrounds and time zones,” said Steve Nouri, hackathon organiser and ACS Head of Data Science.

“With the hackathon totally online, we anticipated challenges in forging trust between teams, communications, accountability and team creation, but the mentors and teams rose to the occasion and delivered a great result.”

One of the categories was: Identifying and Helping vulnerable people/at risk. The ENable team built a platform called Neighbourhood Foodbox using CSM, VA, Mobile, Communities and Events. Our application allows Local Governments, Communities or Not For Profits to crowdsource food from people’s veggie patch, fruit tree’s or excess shopping and distribute it to those in need. As we know with COVID 19 there will be many more people at risk of not being able to secure enough food due to loss of income. The platform has quite a bit of automation and uses the communities event capability to organize pick up/drop off, allowing people to contribute while still keeping up social distancing and helping to #FlattentheCruve What is really amazing is that the team built a full-blown platform in a day, no smoke and mirrors.

Really amazing effort with the now familiar sounds of children in the background, dogs barking, food mixers etc.

The team created something that can help people contribute to their local communities with what they already have, strengthen their community bonds.

Enable Adelaide volunteer at RSPCA

November 21, 2019
by Nicole Bailey

On the 15^th Nov 2019, our Enablers in Adelaide spent 4 hours volunteering at the RSCPA shelter in Lonsdale.

The RSPCA shelters provide a loving and caring temporary home for vulnerable animals.

They have three shelters across South Australia – at Lonsdale, Port Lincoln and Whyalla – who care for thousands of injured, neglected, sick, surrendered and unwanted animals each year. The shelters are a haven for animals that have been abandoned, lost, surrendered or have been victims of cruelty or neglect. All RSPCA South Australia shelters promote, support and facilitate animal adoptions.

Enable donated $500 and spent the time assisting with charitable activity impacting their local community. Our team members Bhavisha Keshwala, Rajat Agarwal, Paul Austin and Nikhil Bhalla spent the time in the warehouse sorting and folding the donated blankets and towel, playing with animals and cuddling the friendly dogs.

Bhavisha, who arranged the activity mentioned:

“It was an awesome event we went to RSPCA shelter home , we saw how they are managing everything there. The team there is dedicatedly doing everything.

They have some volunteer programs too and I am planning to be the part of that program… Also after visiting the shelter home I am planning to adopt a rabbit and a puppy ?

Our ServiceNow architect Paul Austin almost adopted a dog on the day.
