An internal study on all Cepsa factories revealed unsatisfactory results at Cepsa Quebec with regard to the well-being of its employees. The company was required to become more involved in the health of its employees and improve team motivation and feeling of belonging in order to maintain the firm’s growth level.
This context forced the petrochemical company’s human resources department to call upon the expertise of Groupe Esprit de Corps Inc. in 2014 to help reinforce team spirit as well as healthy lifestyles in the business.
When faced with this problematic, Groupe Esprit de Corps Inc. designed a team engagement activity for 150 people of various physical and mental profiles. Most of these people were strangers to each other and got to know one another through the exercises, which were more focused on cooperation and mutual help than the physical aspect.
