Our Technical Services unit (Acquisitions, Cataloging and ERM) are moving
off-site next month.  We will be about 1/2 mile from the main campus and 20
people are moving.  The managers would like to set the tone for a new work
culture, amidst the unhappiness of being moved out of the library.  What do
all of you do to foster a good work culture?  I'm not really talking about
how to work together, we do that very well - more of team building, nice
atmosphere, actiities together, etc.  We have to balance the fact that many
of the staff are introverts and don't necessarily want to have parties all
the time - although we do celebrate birthdays, have a holiday potluck and
do an occasional fun thing (like celebrating Waffle Day, a Swedish holiday
on March 23 - waffles for everyone).

Ideas?
