“For three years now, we have been organising our online after-work parties for new colleagues together with BITOU as an onboarding event – every quarter. What began as an experiment during the remote period has established itself as a fixed onboarding highlight. We are particularly impressed by how flexibly BITOU responds to our requirements and how professionally the events are moderated. Even in the digital world, it is possible to create real connections – that is a great added value for us.”

The Cake Factory is the ideal onboarding event for integrating new employees into the team in a fun way. An interactive simulation game focuses on cooperation, communication and joint decision-making – without any actual baking involved. New team members quickly get to know each other, experience typical team processes and gain an initial insight into cooperation and corporate culture.
This interactive team format demonstrates the importance of information exchange, coordination, and mutual support in everyday work. It is ideal for introducing new employees to team communication in a playful manner.
It is common knowledge and also true in the workplace: first impressions are crucial. This is where onboarding events for your company come into play. Employees who feel welcome, secure and understood in their new job during their first few weeks not only stay with the company longer, but also get involved more quickly and with greater motivation. With a professionally facilitated onboarding event, you can achieve exactly that and retain new team members in the long term.
A well-thought-out onboarding process pursues several goals, most of which can be effectively achieved through team-building events. But what do you need to consider and how can you integrate your individual company content into an onboarding event? We would be happy to work with you to develop a unique concept that is specifically tailored to your needs.

The Ortenau Clinic in Offenburg is one of the largest municipal hospital networks in Baden-Württemberg – and for the past four years, it has been using a very special format for its onboarding event: the Chain Reaction XXL.
Once a month, the hospital welcomes its new employees with this interactive, team-building experience. Together with our experienced team trainer Marcus, participants develop a functioning chain reaction from a wide variety of materials, which is assembled into one large overall reaction – symbolising the new collaboration in everyday hospital life.
The objective is clear:
New employees should not only settle in, but also quickly feel part of the team. The event playfully prepares them for the challenges ahead, strengthens their sense of togetherness, and creates an authentic level of trust through targeted stimuli – both among themselves and with the existing team. This allows new colleagues to be integrated directly into the team and also get to know people from other departments. This creates a completely different team spirit and increases motivation.
The feedback from Ortenau Clinic speaks for itself:
“For us, the XXL chain reaction is much more than just a nice introduction. It brings our values to life – and strengthens the team spirit that is so crucial in everyday hospital life.”
We are delighted about our long-standing collaboration and that we are able to contribute to a successful start in the healthcare sector – with a great deal of heart, structure and impact.
Our team trainer Marcus also draws a positive conclusion:
“What always amazes me is how quickly new colleagues bond with each other in a chain reaction. You can really feel the trust growing – and that’s in an environment where cooperation is literally vital. I always look forward to that moment when the spark ignites and a group of individuals becomes a real team.”
We would like to continue on this path together in the future. Because in such a dynamic and challenging environment as the healthcare industry, strong teams that can rely on each other are essential.
With the Chain Reaction XXL, we create a trusting basis for exactly that month after month – and we are continuously working to further develop our formats in order to meet the future requirements of everyday clinical practice. Other formats could also be exciting, such as our development module “On Thin Ice”, which focuses on improving communication within the team and working together efficiently.
