In this episode we get to speak with content strategist Autumn Sullivan. We dive into her article “Want a more creative team? Give them a playroom”. We explore the psychology of competitive play versus non-competitive play. We ask: when companies have “challenges”, are they really just extra work?  Team-building often includes competitive outings, which actually aren’t great for team-building because someone has to lose.
