Beyond Office Hours: The Social Side of FXBO

If you opened the FXBO calendar during working hours, you would find exactly what you expect: meetings, deadlines, projects, and impressive goals. 

Scroll a little further, though, and the calendar starts developing its own hobbies. 

There are summer parties, Christmas celebrations, padel matches, fishing competitions, regattas, and casual team gatherings by the lake. Then there is Legion Run, where someone apparently looked at mud, fire, ice and barbed wire and thought, “Perfect. Team bonding.” 

More on this later. 

So yes, we build Forex CRM technology for a living, but once the laptops close, FXBO has a social life of its own. 

Introvert trigger warning: You can survive this. We have proof. 

When the FXBO Calendar Develops Social Hobbies 

We spend enough time together solving problems, launching projects, and discussing intricate matters. Every now and then, it is nice to meet without an agenda attached. 

That might mean a summer party, a Christmas celebration, or one of our seasonal gatherings. One FXBO birthday summer party even took us to the lake, complete with music, dancing and a fishing competition. 

And oh! Nothing reveals your colleagues quite like discovering who becomes fiercely competitive once a fishing rod enters the situation. 

The point is simple: we get to know the people behind the job titles. Preferably somewhere nobody has to share their screen. Ever. 

FXBO Participates at Legion Run 

Some team-building activities involve dinner, but ours have also involved crawling through mud. 

The FXBO team has taken on Legion Run, complete with obstacles, fire, ice and barbed wire. 

Yes. Voluntarily. That detail deserves emphasis. 

For a few hours, teamwork meant helping each other over obstacles instead of projects. 

Long story short: everyone survived. 

However, if you are curious, which I bet you are, you can watch the highlights of our Legion Run chronicles! 

The FXBO Athletic Social Side 

Thankfully, not every FXBO sports event comes with fire and ice. 

We have also taken our competitive spirit onto the padel court, including the FinTech Corporate Padel Tour. Then there was the FXBO Regatta, plus other sports activities and challenges that occasionally appear on the calendar. 

Some people arrive determined to win. Some are there for the team. Some discover athletic abilities they had managed to keep secret from themselves for years. 

Our FXBO Social Circle Gets Bigger 

Not every gathering is just for the FXBO team. 

Our FXBO Inner Circle Industry Gathering brought clients, partners and familiar faces from across the industry together away from the usual calls, inboxes and conference booths. 

Some were relationships we had been building for years. This time, there was no CRM demo waiting at the end and no fifteen-minute calendar slot ticking away. 

Just an evening to talk, reconnect and enjoy the community that has grown around the work we do. 

Because somewhere between integrations, projects, emails and meetings, business relationships start becoming human relationships too. 

And it turns out people are considerably easier to get to know when nobody begins the conversation with: 

“Can everyone see my screen?” 

Yes, We Love to Celebrate Every Occasion 

We love to celebrate every occasion at FXBO. 

Summer parties, winter gatherings, Masquerade-themed Christmas celebrations, and team events give everyone a chance to talk about something other than tickets, integrations, campaigns, and deadlines.  

We also celebrate Women’s Day and Men’s Day, adding a few smaller moments throughout the year to recognize the people we spend so much of it working alongside.  

You name it, we celebrate it! 

Halloween 

Halloween, for example, comes with its own FXBO office dress code: costumes. 

We dress up, commit to the character, and finish the occasion with dinner. For one day, job titles become slightly less useful when the person sitting across from you could be a developer, a vampire, or both. 

Christmas 

In addition to our annual celebration, Christmas gets its own junior edition. 

For our kids’ Christmas party, Santa comes to the FXBO office with gifts while the kids get busy with activities like painting and candle making. 

For a few hours, the office gets a new management team. 

They are smaller. 

They are considerably more interested in Santa than Forex CRM software. 

And we know better than to argue with them. 

Why Do We Love to Celebrate at FXBO? 

Honestly, who doesn't? Every social event reveals highly valuable professional information that will never appear on an org chart: 

• Who dominates the dance floor. 

• Who gets suspiciously competitive at sports. 

• Who can apparently fish. 

• Who takes Halloween costumes very seriously. 

• And who suddenly becomes very busy when someone suggests karaoke. 

This knowledge may not directly improve our Forex CRM, but it strengthens the bond between the people building our forex CRM software. 

It also makes Monday conversations considerably more interesting. 

Beyond Office Hours, FXBO Is Still About the People 

Company events alone do not create a good workplace. 

But they do create room for something important: connection. 

People from different departments meet without a project sitting between them. New colleagues blend in faster and more comfortably. Clients and partners become more than names appearing in an inbox. 

And sometimes our families get to become part of the FXBO world too. 

Then everyone returns to work knowing each other a little better than before. 

So, yes, life at FXBO involves Forex CRM technology, deadlines, ambitious projects, and plenty of problem-solving. 

It also more than occasionally involves a lake, a padel racket, a boat, Halloween costumes, Santa Claus, an industry gathering, or an alarming amount of mud. 

Our calendar likes variety.
