SOFTSWISS, whose head office is located in Malta, launched Better Together Month this February as part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen corporate culture and team spirit across its international offices. The initiative aimed to foster a cohesive corporate and workplace culture despite the company’s global presence.
Throughout the month, SOFTSWISS organised a series of activities designed to promote collaboration, appreciation, and informal networking. The initiative blended interactive challenges, social meetups, and cultural experiences that celebrated diversity and inclusion, reinforcing the company’s commitment to a people-first culture.
Better Together Month served as a long-term investment in a strong, collaborative work environment. With SOFTSWISS continuing to expand, the number of specialists working on its products grew by 21 per cent over the past year, making internal communication and team cohesion a key priority.
The initiative kicked off with the Active Together Challenge, which encouraged employees to share their favourite physical activities on social media and invite colleagues to join. To help teams connect in a hybrid work environment, the Donut Bot in Slack facilitated random casual virtual meetups, making informal networking more accessible.
Valentina Bagniya, CMO at SOFTSWISS, commented: “At SOFTSWISS, we understand that our success is built upon the dedication and collaboration of over 2,000 employees across all locations. Better Together Month was our way of recognising this unity and fostering an environment where everyone feels valued and connected. By creating initiatives that go beyond traditional corporate celebrations, we reinforce our commitment to a people-first culture.”
Midway through the month, Friendship & Gratitude Day brought teams together for a special celebration focused on appreciation and connection. Gratitude Canvases were installed in key office locations, inviting colleagues to share words of encouragement and gratitude with one another.
The month concluded with Treat Thursday, a celebration of local traditions across different regions. In Poland, employees marked Tłusty Czwartek (Fat Thursday) by sharing sweet treats and strengthening team bonds, while in Georgia, teams celebrated Maslenitsa, embracing the country’s rich cultural heritage.
By honouring local customs, SOFTSWISS and its local partners reinforced their commitment to creating an inclusive and culturally aware workplace where traditions bring teams together, regardless of geography.
