On May 23rd, the Bravos! Employee Engagement Awards journey began with our inaugural Lab event in Dubai. It was an unforgettable day, laying the foundation for a passionate community committed to solving the complex challenge of employee engagement.
Hosted at Omnicom Media Group (MENA), this first Lab brought together 50 dedicated professionals who shared a common goal: transforming workplaces by addressing engagement at its core.
The energy in the room was palpable, with every moment marked by:
✅ Authentic connections
✅ Thoughtful conversations
✅ Genuine curiosity
✅ Collaborative sharing
✅ Supportive listening
✅ A sense of belonging
✅ Openness and vulnerability
Key Learnings from Lab #1
💡 Deeper connections come from meaningful conversations – going beyond surface-level discussions sparks authentic understanding.
💡 Vulnerability is a superpower – sharing our struggles builds trust and fosters genuine bonds.
The session was a blend of insights, inspiration, and magic. Thanks to everyone who joined us and helped shape this incredible experience. A heartfelt shout-out to Elda Choucair for graciously hosting the event and serving as our Chairwoman. The pictures are here.
The Bravos! Employee Engagement Awards are more than just awards—they represent a Herculean Alliance experience.
