    Your wellness calendar works for some people. Hobbies give everyone else a way in.

    Yoga, Zumba and fitness sessions are valuable, and many employees love them. But a workforce is made up of people with very different interests, ages and energy levels. When the calendar offers one kind of activity, the same people tend to show up each time.

    Hobby-based engagement adds more entry points. The colleague who would never join a fitness class might join a Warli painting session, a karaoke hour or a box-cricket match, and sit next to someone from a different team while doing it.

    A typical activity calendar

    • A few recurring formats, often fitness-led
    • Built around occasions and dates
    • Participants usually from the same teams
    • HR plans, promotes and runs each experience

    Adding a hobby-led programme

    • Art, music, craft, games, sport and more to choose from
    • Built around what employees enjoy
    • Mixed groups across teams, ages and levels
    • HobbyTribe plans, promotes and runs it with you

    What your employees actually do

    Facilitated, hands-on sessions where colleagues make, learn or play something together. People leave with something they created, a new skill, and a few new names they know.

    What hobby-based engagement is designed to do for HR

    Camaraderie

    Shared, low-pressure activities give colleagues something to do together, and something to talk about afterwards.

    Connection across generations

    A jam session or craft table puts a new joiner and a 25-year veteran on equal footing, outside their usual roles.

    Culture and community

    Mixed groups from different departments and levels meet people they would not otherwise work with.

    Participation and choice

    A wider range of formats means more employees find something they actually want to attend.

    These describe the intended value of the programme. We share participation and session feedback after each engagement so you can judge the results in your own organisation.

    How it works with your HR team

    You set the goals and approve the plan. We handle the planning, promotion and delivery.

    1. Share your goals

      On a short call, tell us about your workforce, office locations, upcoming occasions and budget.

    2. We curate the mix

      We propose experiences, sports and timings that fit your goals and align with your HR calendar.

    3. We run it end to end

      Facilitators, materials, setup and the collateral to promote each session internally. Your team just shows up.

    4. Review and plan the next one

      We share participation and feedback from each session and use it to shape what comes next.

    Three ways to start

    Most organisations begin with a single session, then move to a regular programme once they have seen how their people respond.

    Easiest first step

    A single experience or team day

    One facilitated session, or a full day combining experiences and sports, at your office or virtually.

    • 15 to 200 participants per session
    • Pick from 46+ formats
    • Facilitators, materials and setup included

    Good for festivals, wellness days, off-sites, or a pilot with one team.

    Includes hybrid teams

    Experiences plus the HobbyTribe app

    Offline sessions combined with a platform where employees pick their hobbies and stay connected between experiences.

    • Weekly hobby challenges and leaderboards
    • Interest groups and colleague “tribes”
    • Rewards from partner brands
    • Reaches remote and work-from-home staff

    Good for distributed or hybrid workforces.

    Why HR teams work with HobbyTribe

    Range in one partner

    Art, craft, music, dance, games, communication skills, wellness and sport from a single team, so your calendar does not depend on one format or one vendor per activity.

    Hobbies are our core business

    HobbyTribe also runs a hobby-learning marketplace and works with hobby tutors and academies, which is where our facilitators come from.

    Little work for your team

    We plan, create the internal promotion material, bring the facilitators and materials, and run the session.

    Offline, virtual and in between

    On-site experiences in metros and tier-2 cities, virtual sessions, and an app that includes hybrid and remote employees.

    Questions HR leaders ask us

    What is hobby-based employee engagement?
    Engagement built around hobbies employees can do together, such as painting, craft, music, dance, games and sport. Each session is facilitated by a specialist and designed so beginners can take part.
    Does this replace our yoga, fitness or wellness programme?
    No. It is designed to sit alongside them and widen the range of activities on offer. If useful, we can also include formats such as Zumba or a mental health workshop within your plan.
    Can we start with one experience or one office?
    Yes. A single experience or team day is the most common first step. It lets you see how your employees respond before committing to a recurring programme.
    How many people can take part?
    Sessions typically run for 15 to 200 participants. For larger headcounts or several locations, we will discuss the right structure on the call.
    Can you run programmes across cities or every month?
    Yes. We deliver on-site across Indian metros and tier-2 cities, as well as virtually. Our monthly format runs one experience per office location each month, aligned with your calendar.
    How do you include employees with different interests or who work remotely?
    By offering a range of formats rather than one activity, mixing on-site and virtual sessions, and, if you choose, using the HobbyTribe app, where employees pick their own hobbies and join challenges from anywhere.
    What does our team need to provide?
    A space or time slot and a point of contact. We bring the facilitators, materials and setup, and prepare collateral to promote the session internally.
    How do we know whether it is working?
    We share participation and employee feedback after each session. For ongoing programmes, we review this with you to plan the next cycle.
    How is it priced?
    Pricing depends on the format, group size, location and materials. Some craft experiences are priced per participant with all materials included. After the consultation, we send a proposal for your specific plan.
    What happens on the consultation call?
    A 30-minute conversation about your engagement goals, workforce, locations and calendar. We suggest suitable formats and a sensible first step, then follow up with a written proposal. There is no obligation.

    Let’s plan a more connected workplace.
