Work hard, play hard: the success formula that drives creativity

At DUS, we like to do things a little differently. We color outside the lines and write our big ideas on tables instead of yellows. Why? We believe that work and play is the best combination to get everything out of your team. Of course, we are a work and playground for a reason. Why you should try this? We'll explain that to you in this article!

Playing between business

At our work and playground we encourage an effective working day for you and your team. That's why we introduce the concept: work hard, play hard. As soon as you leave a meeting space, you walk to the area where all guests go to enjoy their break: The Playtime. First you pop during your meeting, training or brainstorming session. Then it's time to bring out the child in you. Just like in the old days: during playtime. Whether you're doing a team building activity or energizer , we know one thing for sure: the ties come off and the stiletto heels come off. At playtime, you'll change your mind and go back to your meeting with full energy!‍‍

‍Don't-must

Why we believe in combining work and play? Your brain needs rest to maintain brainpower and creativity. That's why after the meeting we press the pause button and walk over to Het Speelkwartier for a delicious lunch and some fun. Professor of Neuropsychology Erik Scherder explains, "Sufficient exercise increases resistance and creativity, reduces stress and improves mood." So: unleash the child in you during a game of table tennis and kick off your shoes to take a swing at the faucet. At Playtime, you have plenty of opportunities to let loose!

Meet

After the meeting, walk down the umbrella avenue into The Playground. In the robust romney shed, the smell of fresh coffee wafts towards you and there are comfortable couches ready to plop down on. Our work and playground is next to the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal. You can almost touch the ships and let your thoughts drift. With a wide view over the water, you can enjoy a delicious lunch or various snacks. The perfect place to recharge your batteries. A wonderful place to chat with colleagues or guests. That also provides new inspiration and insights!
