The Vive Crop Protection team recently gathered for our highly anticipated 2025 Kickoff in our hometown of Toronto, ON. This served as a vital opportunity for team members to connect, share insights, and align our efforts toward a common vision for the future. This year’s event was not only a platform for important updates but also a chance to engage in fun and collaborative team-building activities.
The event began with an inspiring overview of the company’s direction, emphasizing our commitment to the grower, innovation, and our growing footprint in the agriculture industry. Leadership shared exciting updates about our strategic goals and initiatives, highlighting how each team member plays a crucial role in driving our mission forward. This alignment ensures that everyone is on the same page as we strive to create impactful solutions for our customers and the industry.
One of the highlights of the event was a guided tour of our nearly-completed laboratory expansion. The commercial team had the opportunity to learn about the state-of-the-art facilities that will enable our technology team to rapidly enhance our research and development capabilities. This investment in our infrastructure reflects our dedication to providing cutting-edge solutions at a high velocity and supporting our team’s ongoing growth and success.
Beyond the updates and tours, the kickoff event featured a variety of fun team-building activities designed to foster collaboration and camaraderie among team members. From a spirited Toronto Blue Jays game to a riveting game of whirlyball to some friendly competition at bowling, these fun team building activities brought out the best in everyone. These moments of joy and connection are essential for building a strong team culture and enhancing our collaborative spirit.
“Our kickoff event not only reinforces our strategic direction but also allows us to celebrate our successes and strengthen the relationships among teammates,” shared Katie Grace, Director of People and Culture. “It’s crucial that we invest in our team culture, as our people are at the heart of everything we do at Vive.”
