In-house Fun and Learning

We didn’t let the physical distances between us prevent us from having good times. We held a series of virtual events to keep us connected as a team and interacting on a personal level. We have taken fun seriously by enjoying the little joys of celebrating birthdays virtually, catching up casually with others through the virtual quiz and tombola initiative by our HR team. Though we miss the physical interactions with each other in our office space, like morning chats at the coffee machine, etc. Our virtual celebrations are no less fun. From playing games, virtual pizza parties, celebrating Diwali, and sending gifts as a secret Santa during Christmas has been a great engrossing experience.

We didn’t let the physical distances between us prevent us from having fun in 2021. Each week, we held a virtual event to keep us connected as a team and interacting on a personal level. Said another way, we took fun seriously.

From virtual birthday parties and happy hours to trivia nights and talent shows, our HR team did an amazing job keeping the Opkey family strong during this crazy year. They did an incredibly stellar job organizing a Secret Santa 😊.

Final Words

We wish to take a final moment to say THANK YOU to our customers, partners, employees, and everyone in our testing community for all that you do. Thanks to your enthusiasm and hard work, we’ve made 2021 the best year in Opkey’s history. We wish you and your family all the happiness and success in this prosperous new year.
