Below are some of the extraction and images from the events that the team and I organised and participated in:
Below are the activities and events that the team and I organised:
 This is a summary of the events that the team and I have organised during the 7.5 months. |  During Chinese New Year, SAP employees would welcome the the new year with the lion dance troupe going around the office to bring good luck to the company. |  This is one of the annual internal networking events that the team organise for the employees. |
|---|---|---|
 Lunch talks and workshops are also organised for employees to participate in and learn more from health to finance. This picture was taken during one of the healthy cooking workshops. |  Another lunch workshop that happens annually is the Mother's Day Flower Arrangement Workshop. During this workshop, employees would get the chance to make their own bouquets that they can give it to their mothers. |  Employees that have been working at SAP for 3, 5, 10, 15 and 20 years onwards are invited to attend this event to thank them for the years of hard work. |
 Quarterly, some SAP employees would take part the Food Distribution event by the Apex Club of Bukit Timah where we would give food and other necessities to some of the residents living in Redhill and Bukit Merah. |  Some SAP employees would also take part in the 3 annual visits to Dover Park Hospice. This picture was taken during the Mid Autumn Festival where the patients at the hospice were give moon cakes and other goodies. |  SAP employees are also encouraged to take part the 2 annual clean-ups to learn more about their wastage and how it can affect the marine life. Employees either can participate in the forest clean-up @ Pulau Ubin or the coastal clean-up @ Mandai Mudflats. |
 To encourage employees to be healthy and dare to take up challenges, SAP would take part in the annual 5km JP Morgan Corporate Challenge. |  For employees that like to take up a more challenging course, they can take participate in the annual Singapore International Triathlon. |  Employees that wish to keep fit all year round can join in the U-Fit interest group where on a weekly basics, they will do cardio and weight training together. |
 Employees that like water sports can also take part in the Dragonboat Interest Group that happens on a weekly basics too. They can also take part with the team in competitions like DBS Marine Regatta and Dragon Boat Century Race. |  Employees with children from aged 2 to 12 are encourage to sign their children up the biennial Kids@Work event. The younger children would attend storytelling session while the older children would partake in a challenge around the office premises. |
During my internship, as shown above, we organised events for employees of SAP to participate in. For lunch talk, we would cater lunch bento for employees to eat while sitting in for talks and activities in the pantry. After the lunch talks, the bins in the pantry would always be over-flowed with bento boxes and the cleaners would have a difficult time cleaning up. Hence, I decided to implement the lunch bento separation idea.
​
I put up signs on the bins in the pantry to prevent employees from throwing their finished bento boxes into them. Instead, employees were to separate their bento boxes and wastes into 5 categories - covers/lids, empty boxes, utensils, food waste and tissue papers. Through this idea, the bins in the pantry after lunch talks were no longer filled with bento boxes. The pantry cleaners also thanked me for making their job easier.​
Employees also began to realise the amount of food wastage. Some of them came over to ask the team if we could think of something to reduce the food wastage while some asked to share their bento with their colleagues instead of taking a box themselves.
​
The team has decided that they will work with the catering company to reduce the amount of food and no longer provide disposable utensils for employees (giving employees a reusable utensils set through events as corporate gifts; should they need to use disposable ones, they would have to pay a small fee [donated to their quarterly Food Distribution] to get a set from the team).
