Every week, the team at Orbitkey gather around our meeting space for a morning ritual known to us as “tea time,” complete with a rotating host known as the “tea master.” While we share stories from the weekend, the tea master selects the tea and tea time begins with a unique story behind their tea choice. From there, we discuss our week, update each other on our tasks and goals while planning for the projects ahead.
At Orbitkey, we find great joy in learning and honing our skills. We encourage each and every one of us to take a chance and prioritise their learning to create new ways of thinking.
