Happy Holidays!
We Will Be Back after a Short Break
356 exciting but also exhausting days lie already behind us, not for long and the year 2019 is history. 2020 is just around the corner.
Somehow even our current project plans seem to point out something to us 😉.
In order to recharge our batteries for the challenges of the coming year, we are taking a short break from 24 December 2019. In urgent cases you can reach us during this time by e-mail urgent@projectwizards.net.
From 2 January 2020, we will be back for you full of energy.
The whole ProjectWizards team wishes you a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year and all the best for 2020.

We are also happy to spend our time with joint activities, such as having a barbecue bowling, karting or curling. Sometimes it's just a visit to the Varité or the Christmas market or a nice walk to the restaurant for having dinner together. Especially since we lack the coffee or tea kitchen due to the decentralized work, such activities are important as a team.
But of course this is not only true for us here at ProjectWizards, but also for all companies and industries in general. Here are a few reasons why team building is so important:
