Easy, safe-for-work questions for getting to know the people you work with.
Which work achievement are you proudest of?
Colleagues sticks to topics that are safe at work: career paths, hidden skills, remote work versus the office, the best lunch place nearby, your dream office party. None of the cards ask about relationships, religion or politics.
Use one card at the start of a meeting and give everyone thirty seconds, or bring the deck to a team lunch. It helps new hires get to know the team, and it helps teams who have worked together for years but only ever talk about work.
