"With the HEJ game, we got the chance to connect on a deeper level. I feel way more connected with my team now - work is more fun."
(🗣/haɪ/)
We connect people to make impact together.
In today’s digital age, organizations are faced with new challenges when it comes to employee satisfaction and team communication.
HEJ offers programs to help companies produce better results by focusing on the way people work.
It all starts with a simple hello.
why
HEJ.
Today, workers spend almost 50% of each day on digital vs. in-person communication, and more than half feel lonely as a result.
82% of all employees feel disengaged at work. 2/3 of remote workers is likely to quit. People nowadays tend to exchange flexibility for connection.
Connection increases engagement, reduces stress, and creates more happy feelings.
HEJ helps companies to create a ‘we are in this together’ mentality in the workplace, which in turn, helps organizations to become more productive and efficient.
It all starts with a simple hello.
That’s why we say Hej.
what
