5 Fun Things for Staff Kick Off

August 29, 2025 • Becca Moore and Dani Rosenberg • Season 4 • Episode 88

In Episode 88, we’re diving into 5 Fun Things from our annual Staff Kick-Off—a tradition that helps us reconnect, realign on our mission, and set the tone for a great season. With our big move coming up, we kept this year’s meeting intentionally lighter, knowing a more intensive training is on deck soon.

1) Staff Lunch Away from the Studio
A cozy, cute space that keeps setup and cleanup simple—perfect for keeping the vibe relaxed and focused on connection.

2) Big Build Bash Theme Carryover
We love a theme for clarity and cohesion. With our new studio underway, the construction vibe we used at Open House made decor, slides, and materials easy and on-brand.

3) Fun, Organized Info Delivery + New Staff Resources
We used Canva slides and Rhythm visuals to make “important things” engaging. Faculty leads covered key areas: HR processes (payroll, time-off, sub logs), taking roll/Dancer of the month, assistant best practices, and more.
We paired this with Rhythmpedia—our new branded Enrollio landing page linking everything (policies, forms, calendars, schedules)—and a staff "BAND" in the BAND app for ongoing team communication.

4) Personalized Notebook with Staff Guidelines
Digital is great, but a printed, stickered, Rhythm-branded notebook helps everyone follow along. We added our Top 10 must-knows from our Staff Guidelines for quick reference and asked every team member to send their top 5 takeaways from the handbook.

5) Rhythm-Branded Bag with Fun Items
A last-minute win that felt personal: a cute tote with a Rhythm patch (heat-pressed!), plus fun goodies like a mini brush, hair ties, electronic wipes—and a colorful pouch with cash to purchase role-ready items (dance shoes, a class bag, hair supplies, leggings/dancewear). It’s practical, appreciated, and fun to see what everyone picks!

This was Part 1 of our season kick-off. -- a lighter version but still very necessary to bring everyone together and put us all on the same page at the start of a new season. A larger training will follow as we prep for our big move later this year.

Thanks for listening—we’ll be back soon with a brand-new episode!
