The head office staff of the Swiss Youth Hostels took over the Zurich Youth Hostel for 24hrs.

At this year's head office team event, everybody had to pull up their sleeves. Team work and effort was what was asked for. The staff members of the Zurich Youth Hostel where replaced for a day by the head office employees. Housekeeping, food preparation, bar, reception, night shift and management where put into the head office staff's hands. After a short induction by the professionals, the Zurich YH was handed over in the early evening of the 20th January 2010.

More or less thrown in at the deep end, the office employees, with not much hostel experience, managed to perform their tasks with style all day and night. The office staff members were impressed by the challenges of their new job roles and the necessary planning skills but one or the other turned out to be a real talent. 24 long and eventful hours later the Zurich YH was handed back to its ‘real’ employees.

It was a successful team event, full of positive experiences and smiling faces. Surely one to remember!
