The Case for Creativity: Why Corporate Workshops Are the Secret Weapon to Boosting Engagement & Culture

Beginner Oil Pastel Workshop at Intuit

The conversation around “return to office” isn’t just about desks and policies—it’s about people. At Studio Mooi, we understand that today’s workplaces are navigating a delicate balance: encouraging in-person collaboration while respecting flexibility and mental well-being. The question isn’t if teams should return to the office—it’s how to make it worth their while.

That’s where we come in.

Studio Mooi specializes in delivering creative, engaging, and meaningful corporate workshops that bring people back together—in the same room, at the same table, doing something real with their hands and hearts.

Whether it's painting with oil pastels, creating scented candles, to embracing in perfection with our Kintsugi Workshop, our events are more than just crafts—they're experiential team-building engagement initiatives rooted in connection, wellness, and community.

Why Creativity Matters in the Workplace:

Research shows that fostering creativity and hands-on collaboration in the workplace offers measurable benefits:

-Increased employee engagement: Creativity boosts dopamine levels and reduces stress, leading to a more energized and motivated team.

-Stronger workplace relationships: Shared creative experiences break down hierarchy and build trust.

-Higher retention: When employees feel seen, valued, and connected, they’re more likely to stay.

-Improved innovation and problem-solving: Teams who create together think more openly and collaboratively.
