Every great workplace has that one person.

You know the one — the person who organized every office pool, planned every birthday surprise, remembered everyone’s work anniversaries, and somehow brought the whole team together without being asked. In our office, that person was the heart of our culture.

And then… they left.

Suddenly, the fun stopped. No more happy hours. No more team games. No more small moments that made work feel human. Everyone was busy, HR was overwhelmed, and those “someone should plan something” conversations never turned into action.

That’s when we realized something important:

Team culture shouldn’t depend on one person. It should be easy for anyone — especially HR — to create simple, fun, memorable moments at work.

And that’s how WorkPlayEngage was born.

We create plug-and-play Google Sheets engagement tools that help HR teams (and anyone organizing people) bring the fun back to work — quickly, easily, and securely.

No IT setup.
No software installs.
No learning curve.
No “Who’s going to plan this?” conversations.

Just ready-to-use tools that help celebrate milestones, spark joy, and build culture… one simple event at a time.

From baby pools and Super Bowl Boxes to team-building templates, our mission is simple:

Make work feel a little more human — and a lot more fun.

Thanks for being here.
Let’s create moments your team will remember.

— The WorkPlayEngage Team

People and culture

Our people are at the heart of everything we do. We believe meaningful work happens when individuals feel supported, respected, and empowered to contribute their best thinking.

Rather than relying on disconnected or transactional staffing models, we intentionally build teams in environments that encourage learning, collaboration, and professional growth. We invest in how our teams work together—because strong culture is not accidental, it’s designed.

We are deeply committed to giving employees a voice. Team structures and workflows are shaped with input from behavioral and organizational experts to support engagement, psychological safety, and sustainable performance. The result is a culture where people feel heard, valued, and motivated to do work that matters.
