Here at Incyte we take a few things very seriously: our people, our passion and the possibility to make a difference – even outside of meeting sessions and training classes. We make sure to take every opportunity to build relationships with our colleagues, to give back and support others wherever we can, and to always make it fun!
As part of our live meetings, we set aside one morning for a healthy team building activity, usually a 5K Fun Run/Walk. Anyone who wants to get their steps in comes out early and joins their colleagues for a few miles to start their day. We also make it a point to add some kind of “give back” activity to each meeting, be it a team builder activity during the meeting or bringing books or clothing to the meeting to donate locally. We make helping others a goal, on the clock or off.
So even though we are not able to be together in person during this year’s Regional Meeting, we are still focused on strengthening our relationships, giving back to others, and having lots of fun! As part of the meeting we are hosting Miles That Matter, a virtual run/walk campaign that will benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. If you choose to participate you will join your teammates in trying to log the most miles over the course of the meeting. Incyte will donate $1 per mile per participant, up to $5,000, which goes directly to LLS. In addition, we will award Mad Prop points to the individual and the team with the most miles!
Coming together virtually, making every mile matter, having fun and giving back! People. Passion. Possibility.
