Coffee Roulette

Ever been to a conference or staff offsite and felt awkward about starting a conversation with other attendees? We’ve been supporting organisations who are running Coffee Roulettes for participants in the lead up to conferences and staff offsites to help reduce that awkwardness.

❤️ I love this take on the difference that Coffee Roulette has made to the individual. Having friendly contacts in different parts of the organisation makes the working day so much easier. #Connection #WorkplaceCulture

I love it when I hear that a CEO and senior leaders are participating in their organisation’s Coffee Roulette.

🏆Shout out to the people who make workplaces fun. You’re the people who work tirelessly on the social club committee and organise lunch-time sports. You put your hands up to organise team lunches and do the coffee run. You’re worth your weight in gold in organisations.

Planning for 2023 - a Coffee Roulette for your graduates? We're seeing more and more organisations create Coffee Roulettes specifically for their graduate programs. The programs help the participants build relationships which will stand them in good stead for their careers.

❤️ I love this quote from a Coffee Roulette participant. How great for the organisation's culture. ☕☕

What is the value of a 30 minute conversation? - a new role secured, - a conversation that meant you’re less alone or more confident, - a mentor found, - a problem solved, and even - a pet sitter found? All these things have happened over a 30-minute Coffee Roulette coffee.
