TsianFan’s Friday After – Work Badminton Activity: Swinging Rackets to Ignite Vitality and Foster Team Spirit
On the evening of July 4th, TsianFan Company held the themed activity “Badminton in the Workplace: Uniting and Moving Forward” at the park’s badminton hall. Through group competitions, fun game formats, and physical challenges, the event enabled employees who spend long hours at their desks to stretch their muscles while swinging rackets and jumping. It also strengthened team cohesion through sports collaboration, injecting physical and mental vitality into high – intensity tasks such as stone display stand design.
Dynamic Warm – up: Transforming Energy from the Workstation to the Court
The event kicked off with a “Shoulder and Neck Awakening Exercise.” Led by an instructor, employees completed targeted movements like chest expansion, torso twists, and wrist rotations. These exercises gradually relieved the stiffness accumulated from hours of design drawing in just 10 minutes. As the badminton hall lights illuminated the court, over 20 employees were randomly divided into four groups based on their skill levels and started the first round of interaction with the “Service Relay Race.” Each group had to complete diagonal service relays within three minutes. Engineer Wang from the Stone Display Stand Design Department secured the first victory for his team with a standard backhand serve, and the cheers from the sidelines dispelled the fatigue of the workday.
Competition and Collaboration: Strategies on the Court Reflecting Work Wisdom
The official competition adopted a format of “Best – of – Three Mixed Doubles + Men’s Singles Round – Robin.” Colleagues from the Engineering Department, who usually focus on calculating display stand structures, demonstrated astonishing reaction speeds during net kills. The Commercial Department team, responsible for international client interactions, defeated strong opponents with their seamless complementary teamwork. The most creative “Obstacle Relay” required players to hit the shuttlecock after navigating around obstacle barrels resembling “stone load – bearing models,” ingeniously integrating spatial planning skills from the workplace into the sports challenge. When Li, a new member of the Marketing Department, executed a “display – stand – folding – style” cross – court shot in the decisive game, the applause from the audience was not only for the excellent skill but also for the team’s creativity in applying professional thinking to sports.
Physical and Mental Rejuvenation: Data Validating the Activity’s Effectiveness
According to activity records, 12 matches were completed within two hours, with an average running distance of 1.2 kilometers per person, equivalent to three rounds around the stone display stand exhibition hall. Data from Zhang, an employee in the Technology Department, showed that during the activity, the peak heart rate increased by 40% compared to working at the desk, and the activity level of shoulder and neck muscles returned to the morning state. More significantly, among the 23 feedback forms collected on – site, 91% of employees believed that “doubles cooperation shared the same logic as cross – departmental project collaboration,” and 76% suggested applying the “Technical Review Meeting” from the activity—where each group analyzed losing moves and improvement strategies after the game—to work meetings.
Long – term Empowerment: Integrating Sports into Corporate Culture
“The badminton activity is an implementation of our ‘Healthy Workstation Plan.’ Just as stone display stands require mechanical support, employees’ physical and mental states are the cornerstone of innovation,” said a representative from the Administration Department. The “Lightweight Display Stand Design Inspiration Wall” set up at the event site collected 17 suggestions that extended from the lightness of sports equipment to the optimization of display stand materials. Among them, the idea of “applying the elastic structure of badminton rackets to the folding joints of display stands” has been included in the R & D department’s alternative plans. It is reported that in the future, the company will incorporate “Business Etiquette Badminton Matches” into the activities, combining racket – swinging posture training with exhibition reception etiquette norms, in line with the needs of stone exhibition customer reception.
As the evening light filtered through the skylights of the badminton hall, employees packed their sports bags with smiles and sweat. The Design Department and the Commercial Department had already made an appointment for the next week’s match. This activity, ostensibly aimed at relaxation, was actually like TsianFan’s display stand products, constructing an implicit support structure for the team through “physical connection.” As an experienced employee commented in the activity group chat, “The 默契眼神 during a smash and the knowing smiles when discussing stone textures are both the strongest ‘connecting pieces’ of TsianFan.”
