These initiatives not only help alleviate feelings of isolation but also offer glimpses into colleagues' personal lives, enhancing relationships and camaraderie. The Brand and Creative team has introduced creative interactions using Snap Camera for fun video chats, while other teams, like the Relics of Color Affinity Group, organized virtual gatherings such as happy hours. Further demonstrating their commitment to staying connected, New Relic's Sydney-based employees enjoyed a virtual pizza party courtesy of their leader, Dmitri Chen, and various employees are adapting to working from home with unique setups that include family and pets.
