PRESS RELEASE: TrivWorks Excels at Employee Team Building in NYC
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 23, 2012
New York, NY – BizBash, a leading trade journal, has designated TrivWorks as one of the top ten firms offering employee team building in NYC. This young business, founded in 2009 by David Jacobson, is revolutionizing corporate team building and relationship marketing by adding their own twist – trivia games.
The economic climate over the past few years has resulted in fewer corporate resources for team building and development, yet the need for a cohesive, motivated workforce is as great as ever. “This need was the motivation behind TrivWorks,” Jacobson explains. “Increased workloads and economic stress can have a negative impact on employee morale. A fun team building program is crucial to maintaining morale and increasing employee loyalty and productivity.”
The firm initially gained public recognition as a result of the top-rated bar trivia nights it developed at NYC hotspots such as the Social Bar and Lounge in Times Square/Hell’s Kitchen, The Gael Pub on the upper East End, and the Bell House in Gowanus, Brooklyn. But this is just a small sample of the firm’s offerings. Using customized trivia games and contests, TrivWorks has produced over 350 events for corporate, government and non-profit clients.
So, what makes TrivWorks so unique? “We are the only company providing employee team building in NYC which specializes exclusively in live trivia,” David Jacobson responds. These events are available to companies of all sizes and are customized to incorporate the client’s corporate history, culture and product and service offerings. In addition to developing the games, a TrivWorks representative will help the client navigate through the entire planning process, beginning with venue choices and extending through the event itself by providing an MC and sufficient support staff. In 2011, Pat Kiernan, longtime NY1 morning news anchor and recent guest co-hose of Live! With Kelly, joined the team as a live trivia host. Events featuring Kiernan usually start around $10,000 – less than many companies pay for corporate motivational speakers.
The success of the firm’s approach is confirmed by the number of repeat clients. Employees enjoy learning about their firm and its related market in a fun, low stress atmosphere and client companies enjoy the positive impact experienced as a result of increased employee cohesiveness. Clients come from a broad range of markets including companies such as PepsiCo, Deutsche Bank AG, The Economist, The Princeton Club of New York, Fordham University Graduate School of Business, JDate/Hurry Date, The American Cancer Society, UNICEF, the Law Offices of Maher Brown LLP , Rock of Ages: the Musical, and hundreds more. In fact, TrivWorks can design a program to fit the needs and budget of any business interested in employee team building in NYC.
