Lembaga Alkitab Indonesia (LAI) successfully held its 2024 Family Gathering event on June 28, 2024 with the theme "Gelorakan Kebersamaan"at Mambruk Hotel and Convention, Anyer.

The Board of Yayasan Lembaga Alkitab Indonesia (YLAI) realizes that in order to achieve maximum service to its customers and partners, employees are often under high work pressure. To answer this struggle, the LAI Employee Family Gathering activity program is presented as a solution to refresh the work atmosphere and strengthen the bond between employees.

Lydia Rina, the person in charge of the event, expressed her gratitude to the entire committee who had worked hard to make this event a success. "Even though the event was not held at Gelora Bung Karno, the excitement was palpable in Anyer," she said enthusiastically.

Mambruk Hotel and Convention located in Anyer was the perfect choice for the LAI 2024 Family Gathering. The beach atmosphere and ocean view directly bordering Sumatra Island provided a mesmerizing visual experience for the participants. The charm of a beautiful sunset on a private beach, coupled with several acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, as well as the largest infinity pool in Anyer, created an unforgettable atmosphere.

Participants are pampered with a relaxing natural experience, accompanied by the sound of the waves and the melodious chirping of birds. Not to forget, mouth-watering culinary delights complete the event.

The LAI 2024 Family Gathering event was filled with various interesting activities designed to strengthen relationships between employees. Samuel Diaz, one of the participants, revealed that through this event he was able to get to know more new colleagues, both from the head office and the printing house. "The gathering held games that were quite fun, so from there I started to get to know each other and feel a little closer," he said.

Supriyadi, a long-serving employee at LAI, gave a positive appreciation of the event. According to him, the event went well because almost all participants actively participated in the series of activities. "From departing from Bogor to Anyer, everyone seemed happy. This joy can improve better performance in the future," said Supriyadi. He hopes that similar events can be held again in the future by maintaining the good things that already exist.

Enthusiasm was also evident from the comments of Paskatia, a new employee who joined the Family Gathering after 4 years with LAI. Although she was unable to attend, she regretted her absence considering the event was exciting and only held once a year. Paskatia also gave suggestions for future events, "Maybe you can try to stay overnight or go to a place that is a bit far away. But the trip back and forth yesterday was already cool," she added.

Julian Loen, one of the participants, emphasized the importance of Family Gathering events for employees and companies. According to him, the event provides an opportunity to get to know each employee's family and background, thus strengthening the relationship between employees. "This will have a positive impact on productivity and harmony in the workplace," he explained.

Furthermore, Julian added that the event could also boost employees' morale as they felt that they were getting attention from LAI. This feeling of being appreciated and cared for is expected to increase employee loyalty and dedication to the company.
