We all want to have fun at work, but sometimes it's hard to know when to stop and get back to business.

In many companies nowadays, there are a lot of entertaining activities to do during work hours, but how do you know when you're crossing the line between having fun and actually being productive?

To discuss this topic, I called Catherine Ferarry Simon to join me in today's episode of the Funky Marketing Show.

Catherine Ferarry Simon is the Chief People Officer at Scaleway, and she has a ton of experience in human resources and management.

In this episode, we chat about how to find the perfect balance between fun and productivity at work, and Catherine gives us some great tips on how to stay on track.

We also touched on how to keep the values and the culture as the company grows, and how to push your teammates to learn and grow with you.

So if you're struggling to find the right balance between fun and productivity, or if you're just curious about how Scaleway maintains its values and culture, make sure to tune in to this episode!
