300+ Employees Virtually with Hooray Teams?

Global Collaboration in Action: 26 Countries Joined Virtually

At a Glance

The popularity of remote work makes employee engagement a top priority for companies. Fun and exciting virtual events help bring that lighthearted banter to the virtual workspace while making teams feel more engaged. That’s exactly what Omilia, a leading conversational AI company, needed for its 300+ employees across 26+ countries.

The company wanted to transform its Virtual Town Hall into an interactive experience for employees spread across different countries, from Greece to the Philippines to Argentina. Their goal was to create a space where employees could come together and share company updates or goals in an interactive setting. That’s where Hooray Teams stepped in to unite Omilia’s global team through a fun but meticulously orchestrated virtual event.

Meet Omilia

Omilia is a leading AI-driven conversational intelligence provider, delivering human-like natural language solutions for seamless customer interactions. With roughly 400 employees spread all over the world, staying connected is key to their culture. As a fully remote company, they wanted their Virtual Town Hall meeting to feel more interactive. They needed a space where employees could connect, share ideas, and walk away feeling refreshed for the year ahead. That’s when they approached us to create an interactive team bonding experience that would bring their team together.

The Challenge

Omilia wanted to bring their global team together for a town hall without the hassle of booking a venue and managing travel logistics. Instead, they looked for a virtual platform that could make the experience inclusive and interactive rather than one-way monologues.

Their main problem areas were

Lack of meaningful connections among remote employees

Time zone and regional barriers

Cultural and language diversity challenges

Difficulty in creating engaging content

Based on these key areas, we at Hooray Teams itemized all their major areas of concern:

Create an intimate space where 300+ remote employees can get to know each other and doesn’t feel like a long lecture.

Make it easy for teams across Europe, Asia, or America to participate.

Connect employees across diverse cultures and backgrounds.

Craft universal content to cater to diverse regional audiences.

Make participation easy without tech glitches and engagement drop-offs.

Promote employee appreciation with prizes and awards.

The Solution

We knew that making this event a success required careful planning and a strong focus on engagement. So, we designed an interactive experience that kept energy levels high and participation seamless. We made it happen through:

Seamless Planning

Strategically scheduled the event for multiple time zones for 100% participation from the Omilia team.

Global Participation

Designed to bridge cultural and geographical gaps among remote teams while ensuring everyone felt included.

Three Custom-Designed Games

Created a mix of interactive games like trivia, AI challenges, and riddles, tailored to diverse skill sets and backgrounds.

Dedicated Hosts

A team of 7+ event hosts including a tech expert managed real-time troubleshooting while keeping the game energy high.

Prizes and Rewards

To power up the engagement, we introduced surprise rewards and recognitions using an external app.

Custom-Built Trivia Platform

Rather than relying on third-party software or extra downloads, our custom platform ensures maximum engagement and fun.

A Breakdown of How We Made It A Success

The challenge was to cater to a large group while creating an intimate setting where everyone felt involved. To maximize participation, we strategically scheduled the event to accommodate different time zones, ensuring no one felt left out.

To keep energy levels high, we designed three interactive games-a mix of trivia, AI challenges, and custom riddles-tailored for a global audience. Each round featured new, cross-functional teams, encouraging employees to collaborate with colleagues they might not interact with daily.

We had 7+ event hosts and a dedicated tech expert on deck to ensure a seamless experience. They troubleshooted technical glitches in real time and kept the energy high from start to finish. Additionally, our custom-built game platform eliminated the need to rely on third-party tools and ensured maximum engagement. Rather than a simple name call-out, we added an element of surprise by using a Spin-the-Wheel platform to announce the winners.

The Result?

What could have been a traditional Virtual Town Hall to share updates turned into an engaging experience. Teams participated and bonded in a way that felt both meaningful and energizing. Here are the key takeaways from the event.
