As the new year approaches, many of us find ourselves stuck at the office.

But that doesn’t mean the celebration has to be mundane! Here are eight unconventional and exciting ways to welcome the new year right at your workplace.

1. Desk Decor Extravaganza: Transform your workspace into a festive wonderland with streamers, balloons, and confetti. Encourage your colleagues to join in and turn the entire office into a party zone.

2. Office Olympics: Organize quirky competitions like chair races, paper airplane contests, or even a mini-golf tournament in the hallways. It’s a fantastic way to boost morale and bond with coworkers.

3. DIY Mocktail Bar: Set up a DIY mocktail bar in the breakroom with a variety of alcohol-free drink options. Colleagues can mix and match their favorite flavors for a refreshing twist.

4. Time Capsule Tradition: Have each team member write down their hopes and goals for the year ahead. Seal them in a time capsule to be opened the following year. It’s a great way to reflect on personal growth.

5. Desk-to-Desk Countdown: Create a chain reaction of excitement by setting up a “countdown” where each employee visits their coworkers’ desks with a small treat or activity to do as the clock ticks down.

6. Themed Dress-Up Day: Pick a fun theme like retro disco, favorite movie characters, or futuristic fashion, and have everyone come to work dressed accordingly. You’ll be amazed at the creativity that emerges.

7. Positive Affirmation Wall: Encourage your coworkers to write down their aspirations and positive affirmations on a communal wall. It’s a great way to start the year on a motivated note.

8. Virtual Travel Showcase: Share travel experiences and photos with colleagues by setting up virtual booths showcasing your adventures. It’s a unique way to connect and inspire wanderlust.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
