Also currently located in the University of Waterloo’s Velocity Garage, Happenate fuels workplace teams by giving employees the freedom to vote for the next team-building activity, whether it is beer delivered to the office, an outing at a haunted house, or a canoe tour of the Grand River. It all happens in three steps: You give a team reward, a Happening, which works like a group gift card using a budget you set. Your team then chooses their experience from their catalogue, and Happenate makes it happen. Like a concierge, they take care of everything: organizing, booking, building excitement and capturing memories.
