A cricket match at the Karsun Family PicnicKarsun families recently enjoyed a day on the farm. Employees and their guests were invited to relax in the country at the Karsun Company Picnic. Families explored the farm, took hayrides and met farm animals.

The outing was part of our monthly event series. These get-togethers include happy hours, brown bag seminars and other celebrations. As part of a culture that nurtures innovators, Karsun seeks opportunities to improve work life balance for our employees through these events. Some activities are specially designed for families of Karsun staff to connect. Children of our employees also recently visited our offices in Herndon, Virginia for Take Your Child to Work Day.

Last Thursday Karsun Solutions joined many other companies across the United States in celebrating Take Your Child to Work Day. They hosted children ages 8 through 13 at their Herndon, Virginia Headquarters. This year’s inaugural event encouraged guests to imagine a world where technology creates exciting jobs, homes, and communities of the future. Using collages and worksheets participants brainstormed solutions to today’s challenges.
