# Working Environment:
Modern Offices
- the offices are equipped with spacious desks, great for pair-programming,
- if you need to stretch your legs and relax your back, there are several standing desks in the offices,
- there are a few sofas, in case you need a quick rest,
- and when you need a little break, you can always challenge your colleagues to a game of foosball (@C29) or a darts/small ping pong tournament (@C39).
Equipment
- hardware/software: there is a 'standard package' for everybody and you can find more information on the IT wiki page. You can discuss possible additional wishes with the IT team,
- since our work calls for a lot of sitting, we have to be as comfortable as possible; if the chair that you are using doesn't suit you, you can always order a new one (some of us are also using exercise balls),
- office supplies: if you're in need of any office supplies, you can find them in the administration office (@C29) or in the closets below the printer (@C39),
- remember, when it comes to company money, treat it as if it was your own.
Kitchen Supplies
- seasonal fresh fruit gets delivered to our offices everyday,
- kitchen is fully equipped with appliances you need to enjoy a nice meal,
- our pantries are always fully stocked with all the basics: coffee, a selection of teas, beverages, spices, oil, vinegar etc.,
- 'Pancake Mondays': every Monday at 13h, we enjoy treats such as pancakes with Nutella or jam/ice cream/baked goods, while socialising and mingling with our colleagues in the kitchen.
Pharmacy
- in the admin office (@C29) and in the closet besides the printer (@C39) you can find our own small pharmacy stocked with several different medicines, pills, band-aids etc.,
- if you see that something will soon be running out, please inform Ines or Pia to refill the stock.
# Learning and Development

- if you have any topic suggestions (that you would like to present or hear), please contact Sašo;
- there are several books at your disposal at our [Sinergise library](https://git.sinergise.com/operations/wiki/wikis/Library) to read up on everything that interests you; there's also a wish list where you can order any book you'd like to read,
- there is an active Pluralsight (find log in details in Keeper) subscription available, which you can use to take any of the courses they're offering,
- conferences, workshops: you are always encouraged to attend events that could help you and the company gain new knowledge and broaden our network and connections,
- courses: if you find any courses that you believe would improve your knowledge/skills and contribute to your development, do not hesitate to suggest you take it (contact Pia).
# Health, Well-being and Recreation
- every fall the company organises and pays for flu shots for all employees that are interested.
Tick-borne meningoencephalitis shots are also covered (you can get them at [ZVD](http://www.zvd.si/) or [NIJZ](https://www.nijz.si/)).
- during fall and winter (usually from November-April) we have a company gym membership at [Infinity Gym](http://www.infinitygym.si/); a number of monthly visits is bought based on the interest,
- volleyball (during summer beach volley, during winter indoors),
- you are welcome to give any other suggestions regarding recreation and well-being (contact Pia and we'll look into it).
# Team Events
Two company events are usually organised every year; one sometime around June and the other sometime around September. The activities differ and depend on the weather. We try to cover it all — from being adrenaline junkies for a day to simply relaxing in the nature. The main purpose of these events is changing up the pace and socialising outside our usual work space.
Each team is encouraged to organize a separate team event for themselves as well!
We finish the year with our traditional end-of-year dinner.
If you have any suggestions about future team events, contact the HR team.
