If you know KnowBe4, you know that our annual Halloween celebration is one of the biggest events of the year! Not only has Halloween been a major company culture event since the company’s founding, but it is also our CEO Stu’s favorite holiday! Following COVID-19 guidelines, each office celebrated in accordance with socially distanced protocols according to their country's national and regional laws and regulations. From our Clearwater, Florida headquarters where we host our annual Know-B-Ween, to our offices around the world, let’s check out how Knowsters celebrated Halloween 2021.
Our headquarters in Clearwater, Florida is home to our largest Halloween celebration. Our theme for this year’s Know-B-Ween outdoor drive-thru was a mix of characters from Hocus Pocus, Addam’s Family, and The Nightmare Before Christmas. The day began bright and early with professional hair and makeup for our People Operations teams. Next, it was time to get dressed in costumes and in position! Our drive-thru was open from 11-2 pm to employees during the day, and open from 6-8 pm to the public in the evening. This was our second annual contactless and socially distanced drive-thru, and it was a great success! Trick-or-treaters were transported into each movie as they drove through the event and were given bagged treats. The Fun & Shenanigans team did an excellent job spearheading this annual event and we are so grateful for their hard work and creative vision!
To kick off Halloween celebrations in the York, UK office, the office was decorated and employees were given a box of Halloween cupcakes! We also held a competition for Best Costume. After a day full of fun and with plenty of Halloween cupcakes to spare, we donated the remaining treats to a local school. In our Leicester office, some of our employees shared photos of the town getting in the holiday spirit with jack-o'-lanterns.
