Play adesso: Let's experience the new Corporate Culture

Company event 6-7 October 2023

Summer is winding down, but for WebScience employees the enthusiasm and desire to have fun are stronger than ever! 

On 6 and 7 October, in the marvellous Salento setting of Gallipoli, we are preparing to experience two unforgettable days based on the experience of playing and guided by the principle 'Playing is a serious matter'.

We are ready to experience the Culture Code of adesso

On 19 January, we announced our entry into the Group adesso. From that moment on, an evolution of mindset began, broadening our vision towards an international arena and opening up new growth perspectives for employees. 

At the same time, the increasingly frequent interactions with colleagues in the 15 countries where the adesso brand is present have made us perceive the cultural richness that moves within the group. Each country with its own peculiarities and each person with their own uniqueness. It seems obvious that to understand this diversity and express it through a Culture Code that represents everyone, there has been and still is a lot of work to be done. 

As a further step in the integration plan, we are now ready to experience the Culture Code first hand at our annual company event!

ONEadesso: A SHARED CORPORATE CULTURE

The integration of WebScience into the German group is the result of a mutual choice, based on a careful and shared verification of consistency of values, vision and purpose. The adoption of the new culture of adesso represents an extension of our founding principles: growth, trust, quality and concreteness. It provides us with a new vantage point from which to view our principles that guide us in our daily actions and enriches what we already have in our DNA. 

On the other hand, living the new corporate culture of adesso means working on creating a working environment in which every person in the group can feel at home in any of our 60 locations worldwide. The corporate culture is also clearly manifested in the image we project towards our customers, which is why it is valuable that it is unique and shared, regardless of the country of origin. 

These are the concepts behind the ONEadesso formula: many countries, many people, one company.

THE GAME: WE FOCUS ON PEOPLE

It is said that we are never as serious as when we play. But it is also true that we are never as motivated to learn as when we are having fun. Play means fun, positivity, being together and looking into each other's eyes. Through play, we can step into the shoes of a character, explore a concept or embrace a culture. And that is why we believe that playful activity is the right choice to feel with your body and mind the new values of the adesso Group and to establish and strengthen relationships within our large team, made up of colleagues from the Milan, Lecce and Sofia offices. 

Leading the activities will be Lucia Berdini, Play Coach and World Laughter Ambassador. Ever since she was a child, play has been a fundamental part of her existence, and today she helps people and organisations regain the desire to play in many ways. She is convinced that play is a fundamental variable of happiness, in life and within corporate cultures, and that it can bring motivation, cooperation and creativity to the highest level.

TOWARDS A NEW BRAND

The corporate event on 6 and 7 October will also be an opportunity to celebrate the upcoming transition to a new brand. After more than 20 years of activity under the name WebScience, we will adopt the naming adesso Italy as of 1 January 2024. Same people, same quality, new perspectives. STAY TUNED ...
