Training sessions and team building events are the core of Geek Week. In the tech industry there are constant changes and advancements. Keeping employees trained on all the new information can be tedious at times. Overlaying pop culture fandoms on top of the training we were delivering made them fun, new and drove participation. SDAS agents were excited to attend a training on cyber security when they found out it was being delivered via Scooby and the Mystery Inc gang.

Team building events include trivia nights where your Geek Week knowledge is tested. Bracket style competitions where the company voted on things like favorite super-hero movie or overall favorite television show. After hours gaming events of board games and videos games brought people from all over the company together for battles of Mario Kart or intense battles of Risk.

Gamification and friendly competition of our daily metrics are also a part of Geek Week. Contests like Tech-Mania, where contact center agents would aim to create great customer experiences and hitting all of their daily metric goals. Geek Tank where Ingram employees would use Sales Gym techniques to pitch a team of Geeks their best sales pitch on their latest idea. Even in house escape rooms were created at Ingram where participants have had to escape magic schools, super hero headquarters or ancient tombs using sponsoring vendor tech knowledge, company knowledge and puzzle solving skills.
