Beyond Deadlines: The Real Team Bonding Happens in the Gym, Court & Trail
[Vietnamese Summary Below]
Small Moments, Big Connections – Life at Nedy
It’s not always about the big things. Not the product launches, the milestones, or the all-hands meetings — though we celebrate those too. But what truly shapes the spirit of Nedy are the little moments. The everyday scenes that don’t make headlines, but make you feel like you belong.
A pickleball paddle resting in the corner, waiting for a quick game to break the afternoon monotony. Running shoes lined up by the door, ready for a post-work jog or the next competition. A guitar casually leaning against the wall, ready to transform a quiet moment into an impromptu jam session. These aren’t just random items; they’re part of what makes our culture feel alive.
After work, people gather — not to network, but to unwind. We hit the pickleball court for some friendly competition, lace up for a run, or simply enjoy a casual jog around the area. And when the day winds down, someone might pick up the guitar, turning the room into a place where music and laughter flow. It’s casual, it’s simple, and it’s ours. This is the side of work that doesn’t show up on LinkedIn but defines the culture: a place where you can build both fitness, creativity, and memories, together. That’s life at Nedy.
Pickleball & Play: Our Court, Our Community When we’re not in the gym or at our desks, you might catch us on the pickleball court. Yep, we play — and we play often. It's become a favorite way for us to blow off steam, break a sweat, and break into laughter all at once.
Whether it's a quick game between meetings or a friendly match after hours, pickleball gives us a fun, low-pressure way to stay active. We’re not chasing trophies — we’re chasing better health, sharper reflexes, and shared smiles. The court becomes a space where competition meets connection, and where teammates become friends.
It’s light, it’s lively, and like everything else at Nedy — it’s all about enjoying the moment together.
Running & Riding: Miles with Meaning We also love to take it outdoors — hitting the pavement or pedaling through the city. At Nedy, running and cycling aren’t just hobbies. For some of us, they’re personal goals. For others, they’re group activities. And for all of us, they’re ways to breathe deeply, push ourselves, and see how far we can go — literally.
We run for fun, we run for competitions, and sometimes we just run to clear our heads. Our cyclists log miles for health, for adventure, and occasionally for bragging rights. But no matter the pace or distance, it’s always rewarding.
Because moving forward — whether on foot or two wheels — reminds us that progress happens one step, one spin, one ride at a time.
Micro Moments, Major Impact
These post-work rituals — the gym, the guitar, the conversations in between — may seem small, but they carry weight (pun intended). They help us reset. Mentally, physically, emotionally. In a fast-paced world where stress sneaks into inboxes and deadlines, it’s refreshing to have space that lets us just be. No agenda. No expectations.
And while not everyone joins every day, there’s a quiet consistency to it. People drift in and out depending on energy levels or schedules. Some show up for the workout, some for the jam session, some just to hang out and laugh. But the space is always open. The vibe is always welcoming.
Building Culture - Embracing Balance Concept
It’s easy to say “we care about work-life balance” or “we value team bonding.” It’s harder — and more meaningful — to live it out in the small day-to-day ways. At Nedy, we don’t force culture. We just leave space for it to grow.
Whether it's the barbell in the room, the squeak of sneakers on the pickleball court, or the chorus of an old song sung off-key, what we’ve built together is something real. We believe a good company culture doesn’t have to be loud. Sometimes, it just needs to be honest.
So if you ever visit us in the evening, don’t be surprised if you hear laughter echoing from the gym, the pop of a pickleball rally, or a gentle guitar melody floating down the hallway. That’s not an event. That’s just us — living the small, meaningful moments that make Nedy, Nedy.
[Tóm tắt tiếng Việt] Tại Nedy, văn hoá không chỉ đến từ những buổi họp toàn công ty hay lễ ra mắt sản phẩm. Những khoảnh khắc giản dị sau giờ làm – như chơi pickleball, chạy bộ, đạp xe hay đàn hát cùng nhau – mới thực sự tạo nên sự gắn kết giữa các thành viên. Đó là khi mọi người tụ tập không phải để “network” mà để thư giãn, trò chuyện, và tận hưởng thời gian bên nhau.
Sân chơi trở thành nơi giao lưu, đôi giày thể thao chờ sẵn để chinh phục những cung đường mới, và cây đàn giúp xua tan mệt mỏi. Dù không ai bắt buộc, những hoạt động này diễn ra đều đặn, tự nhiên và đầy ấm áp.
Tại Nedy, văn hoá không bị ép buộc – nó hình thành từ chính những phút giây đời thường. Một môi trường nơi công việc và cuộc sống cân bằng, nơi tiếng cười và sự kết nối không cần lên kế hoạch. Và đó chính là cách chúng tôi xây dựng một cộng đồng thật sự – bằng những khoảnh khắc nhỏ nhưng đầy ý nghĩa.
