What We Create
3 Experiences Designed to Breathe Joy Into Culture
In order to meet employees where they are, we have to ask well, where the heck are they?
The JoyCatchers™ meets them in the 3 places that make sense:
At Benefits Open Enrollment, where you want their attention to linger, boost morale and loyalty and create resonance
At select moments throughout the year and in person where you want significant lasting impact to team connection levels and a significant mental health boost
At multiple touch points throughout the year, virtually where many spend the entirety of their day, zooming live but sadly in an all but disconnected fashion. Our Zooms are ones your team won’t want to leave and will come back to the recording on
Yuletide Summit:
Making Benefits Jump Off The Page Into Your Heart
What if your employees spent more than 11 minutes at OE and left with a Joyful feeling, versus annoyance, frustration and fatigue?
Yuletide was created to explore and expand joyfulness inside one of the most important and fiscally expensive corporate moments of the year. Your Benefits Open Enrollment.
Today this has become almost entirely transactional. Lots of tech touch points and yet little human touch.
Do I matter to you?
Giving your employees a true seat at the table, where we connect the companies responsible for the healthcare products to their buyers and elevate the room to one of connection, care and mattering, everything shifts away from tedious and toward transformational. This is a real seat. One where their voice, their family, and their future are considered part of the conversation.
Yuletide is designed to transform benefits from an administrative requirement into a human story. A story that connects protection to purpose and policies to family wellbeing.
The Labyrinths Yuletide Helps Conquer
Those inside the benefits ecosystem, whether you are HR, Consultant or Carrier, know it is complicated, irregular and it is difficult to find your way. Despite AI advances, imagine how lethargic your employees feel navigating this tricky landscape? We help assuage:
The labyrinth of confusion around benefits.
The labyrinth of HR teams stretched thin.
The labyrinth of carriers competing only on price.
The labyrinth of employees who do not feel empowered or specifically acknowledged.
Yuletide brings leaders, HR, carriers, and employees into the same space to navigate these labyrinths with intention.
We replace isolation with shared meaning.
We replace complexity with clarity.
We replace transaction with connection.
Impact After OE
Organizations experience:
Greater employee understanding and appreciation of benefits
Stronger emotional connection to leadership and you as the employer
Increased engagement and optimism
A renewed sense of purpose within your heroes, the HR team, given their closer tie directly to employee impact
Differentiation and loyalty for carrier partners
Yuletide does not add another layer of programming. It restores meaning to one of the largest investments an organization makes.
When employees feel seen, valued, understood, and that they matter, culture shifts.
Community & Scholarship Impact
Yuletide extends beyond the walls of the workplace. In fact, it breaks them down completely.
At its heart, Yuletide recognizes that benefits and wellbeing are not only about employees, but about families and future generations. In select engagements, Yuletide includes a scholarship and community impact component that reinforces the deeper purpose behind corporate care.
These moments often take place in partnership with local schools and community organizations, where leaders have the opportunity to invest directly in students and families. What begins as a benefits conversation becomes a visible expression of generosity, hope, and shared responsibility.
This element is not performative. It is purposeful.
By connecting corporate investment to community impact, Yuletide strengthens the meaning behind benefits and reinforces the message that care extends beyond enrollment cycles. It becomes a lived demonstration that organizations do not simply offer protection, but actively participate in building futures.
For employees, this reinforces pride and belonging.
For leadership, it aligns intention with action.
For communities, it creates tangible opportunity.
Yuletide becomes more than an event. It becomes a ripple of both hope and joy for future generations inheriting the world of work.
Joy Events: Mattering in Motion
Immersive Activations for Culture and Belonging
While Yuletide is a flagship summit experience, JoyPopUps (live) and JoyLab (virtual) are designed to bring the same philosophy of mattering and meaningful connection into organizations in flexible, scalable formats. Each activation is curated, custom-designed, and aligned with your leadership priorities, ensuring that care is not only communicated, but felt.
Whether in person or virtual, these experiences are rooted in one essential question: do your people feel seen, valued, and though they matter to you?
JoyPopUp
In-Person Immersive Activation
JoyPopUp transforms everyday workplace environments into thoughtfully designed spaces of reflection, recognition, and connection. These experiences are multi-sensory and story-led, intentionally interrupting routine to create meaningful micro-moments of joy.
A JoyPopUp may include:
Guided reflection and grounding practices, think breathwork, meditation and yoga with sound
Connection circles and conversation prompts
Creative art expression stations that reinforce shared impact and passed forward to connect groups together
Recognition moments that celebrate individual contribution
Boomerang of Joy experiences that invite participants to extend appreciation beyond the room to acknowledge kindness and curiosity
Curated takeaways that carry the joy forward
Each JoyPopUp is custom-built in partnership with your organization. These are anywhere from 1-4 hours. Some are integrated into leadership gatherings or corporate events. Others are designed as standalone cultural resets. The goal is consistent: to strengthen belonging and reinforce a mattering for your team
JoyPopUps are priced on request based on scope and scale. In select cases, angel sponsors may be available to support organizations with budget constraints.
JoyLab
Virtual Joy Activation
JoyLab brings the JoyCatchers™ philosophy into digital spaces, ensuring that distributed and hybrid teams experience the same intentional connection as those gathered in person. In a Zoom-heavy environment where meetings often feel transactional and rushed, JoyLab creates structured space for reflection, recognition, and meaningful dialogue.
Each JoyLab session is story-led and facilitator-guided. Participants are invited into thoughtful prompts, shared conversation, and interactive exercises designed to strengthen joy & mattering within teams. Rather than adding another meeting to the calendar, JoyLab shifts the tone of the room. It encourages participants to slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect to why their work and their presence matter.
JoyLab experiences can be tailored to specific organizational moments such as leadership offsites, culture resets, team transitions, open enrollment periods, or wellbeing initiatives. Sessions are curated in partnership with your leadership team to align with your goals and priorities.
Like JoyPopUps, JoyLab experiences are custom-designed and priced on request based on scope and format. We believe access to meaningful connection should not be limited by budget, and in select cases angel sponsors may be available to support participation.
