Our Benefits group hosted the first ever Campus Jam at our Redmond headquarters this past Saturday. Aside from an opportunity to enjoy an incredible warm sunny day in Washington, it was a perfect chance for employees and their husbands, wives, partners, and children to experience a little bit of life on campus.

The morning started out with a 5k fun run/walk, followed by cooking demonstrations, some incredible food, live music, sports clinics for kids led by professional athletes and trainers, a climbing wall, inflatable bounce houses, and a fun obstacle course. Throughout the day employees and their families also took part in expert led seminars on topics ranging from running your first marathon to financial prosperity to maintaining a healthy weight for life.

     

Anchoring the outdoor venue were tents where employees could check out the latest in what our Benefits department has to offer to create personal wellbeing in the areas of health, fitness, and finance - just to name just a few. There were also a number of exhibitors from thelocal area including organic farms, fitness facilities, and even ergonomics consultants.

   

Though the focus was on family friendly activities there was definitely a little bit of something for everyone. What a great way to experience a beautiful Redmond day AND find out what Microsoft Benefits has to offer our employees and their families!
