    A jam-packed day full of informative presentations by various wellness professionals, workshops, outdoor yoga, and 15-minute massage therapy sessions. From learning how to manage anxiety, to setting SMART financial goals, there’s something for everyone to engage with and learn from.

    Annual Softball tournament
    Kobo employees can sign up for an all-day softball tournament, culminating in the Championship Game, where the winners get their names engraved on a trophy. Lunch is provided, and there’s a water-refill station to keep everyone hydrated. Those who aren’t playing can also go to the park and watch the games.

    Pooch program
    Who doesn’t love cute dogs at the office? Enough said. 

    Kobo Tech University
    During work hours, employees are encouraged to join our Kobo Tech University, which offers free classes by our most experienced Developers and Architects. You can learn about the essentials of coding, apps, and data, among other topics. 

    Kobo Tech Ladies
    Kobo Tech Ladies is a group that meets monthly with the purpose of women helping each other take a step up, personally and professionally. It’s a safe space where Kobo women of all ages and career levels become more self-aware, grow their confidence, learn new skills, and share their knowledge to help others.

    Happy hours
    Thirsty Thursdays occur once a week; a different department hosts this hourly event full of tasty snacks and beverages (non-alcoholic options are included!). We also have special bigger-scale happy hour events once a month.
