Team Culture Connection Calendar
Strategic moments of connection that build stronger teams year-round.
At KindCo, we believe that healthy team dynamics aren’t built in a single offsite or workshop. They’re shaped over time through intentional touchpoints that invite trust, spark joy, and strengthen relationships.
That’s why we created the Connection Calendar, a year-long roadmap designed to support HR leaders and CEOs in building cohesive, connected, and high-performing teams.
Why It Matters
Culture doesn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of consistent, intentional efforts to foster trust, care, and a sense of belonging. But with busy business cycles, team transitions, and shifting goals, moments of connection often fall to the bottom of the priority list.
The Connection Calendar makes culture-building intentional. It integrates macro moments (including team celebrations, retreats, and milestone events) with micro moments (such as soft skills workshops on empathy, trust, and feedback), all aligned with your company’s goals and rhythm.
What It Includes
We partner with your leadership team to co-create an annual calendar tailored to your people, your values, and your business needs. It may include:
Macro Moments (Big Impact)
Annual retreats or offsites
Team celebrations or milestone events
Culture-building events
Leadership summits
Micro Moments (Everyday Reinforcement)
Soft skills workshops (trust, empathy, communication)
Peer connection huddles
Manager training and coaching
Thoughtful onboarding & offboarding rituals
Each moment is a chance to connect with purpose and move your team culture forward.
The Macro/Micro Approach
Macro builds momentum. Micro builds meaning.
When we align the big, bold moments with the small, skill-building ones, we reinforce the behaviours and values that shape your team’s experience and drive long-term engagement.
We help you connect the dots between:
Celebration & alignment
Recognition & trust
Belonging & performance

FAQs
What is a micro gathering?
Micro gatherings are small, intentional moments of connection that take place regularly within teams. Think coffee chats, team check-ins, learning circles, or wellness walks. These low-effort, high-impact touchpoints help build trust, spark conversation, and maintain a sense of human connection, especially in hybrid or remote settings.
What is a macro gathering?
Macro gatherings are larger-scale events such as annual retreats, all-hands meetings, team offsites, or milestone celebrations. These events offer a powerful shared experience that helps unify teams, celebrate wins, and align everyone around common goals and culture.
How does the KindCo Connection Calendar help?
The KindCo Connection Calendar is a curated guide to help teams plan and balance both micro and macro moments of connection throughout the year. From simple conversation starters to team-wide activations, it offers inspiration to help you build a more connected, engaged, and human workplace, one moment at a time.
What types of gatherings boost employee morale?
The most effective gatherings are those that feel purposeful and personal. This can include:
Recognition events and appreciation lunches
Workshops or training sessions that include space for storytelling
Social events that allow employees to relax and connect authentically
Inclusive gatherings that reflect team values and encourage participation
Why do gatherings help foster better employee relationships?
Gatherings, whether big or small, create shared experiences. They humanize colleagues, break down silos, and build empathy. When employees have space to connect beyond their roles, it deepens trust, improves collaboration, and enhances overall team dynamics.
Why does unstructured time together matter for connection?
Unstructured time, like informal chats before a meeting, hallway conversations, or downtime during an offsite, often leads to the most authentic connection. It's in these unscripted moments that people feel seen and heard as individuals, not just employees. That sense of belonging cannot be scheduled, but it can be made possible.
How can I build a strong culture in a hybrid workplace?
Hybrid work requires a more intentional approach to culture-building. A strong culture is built through consistency, clarity, and connection. This includes:
Regular micro gatherings to maintain day-to-day bonds
Occasional macro gatherings to realign and celebrate
Rituals that reinforce your values
Encouraging open communication and inclusive practices
