What is On My Own Time?
A program designed to help us create a happier, healthier workplace.
It’s an opportunity to share with colleagues what you do on your own time.
How it works
1. You submit an entry in any medium you like: (art, video, music, hobbies, etc.)
2. We set up a company exhibit to share visual arts, performing arts, and other interests.
3. We have a company event to celebrate On My Own Time.
