Bring game-day energy to the staff lounge with a tailgate-themed potluck. Staff sign up to bring their favorite game-day dishes, from sliders and dips to chips and slow-cooker favorites, and gather for a fun, casual lunch together.

Why try it

A themed potluck gives staff something to look forward to and a reason to sit down together outside of work talk. Food is a natural connector, and the tailgate format keeps it low-pressure and fun.
