Eleven years ago, Power Home Remodeling (“Power”) launched a massive end-of-year celebration in Cancun, Mexico to say thank you and recognize the accomplishments of our employees over the past 365 days.
But through the years, it’s evolved into something much more than just a typical holiday party. The event, now called “Quest”, is one part Coachella, one part wellness retreat, one part beach vacation — except instead of bumping elbows with 100,000 spectators, it’s an exclusive viewing party for Power employees, friends, and loved ones on the beaches of Mexico.
Celebrating 30 years in business, we sought to create our biggest Quest to date in December which included a three-day music festival with an A-list lineup of artists (Bruno Mars, Wiz Khalifa, and Quinn XCII just to name a few), interactive art installations, and daily workouts. Room, board, food, swag, and admission to what was one of the hottest festivals of the year are all included in this unique workplace perk. Bonus: Power employees are also able to bring their significant other.
At Power, we put our people-first philosophy into action — and Quest is a direct reflection of that. Our goal was to architect an immersive, one-of-a-kind experience that truly enriches our employees’ lives, connects them to new people, and provides a more fulfilling place to work.
Our in-house event and creative teams intentionally construct every element — from conception to execution. Each year is unique with a new theme and an entire experience built around it. This year’s theme was retro futuristic - a celebration dedicated to nostalgia, euphoria, and rediscovering yourself.
It was also important to create an environment that was inclusive and accommodating of everyone. For those that have a sober lifestyle, we created a program called SWAY (Sober Ways to Advance Yourself), where we offered signature mocktails, dedicated lounge areas, and activities throughout for those that wanted an escape from the big event.
Quest proved to be a huge success:
Sign-up period sold out in seven minutes, and we threw our largest Quest to date with over 3,000 attendees.
Saw a 15k page-view spike in visits to Power’s Glassdoor page after announcing the music lineup.
Boosted employee sentiment about Quest and Power as a best place to work. A post-event survey found:
- 98% of employees look forward to the event every year.
- 86% of employees believe that Quest is an essential part of what makes Power a great workplace.
- 75% of employees believe Quest increased their interest in continuing to work at Power.
Our social media amplification sparked attention:
- Garnered over 257k impressions; 212% higher than Quest 2021
- Reached a total of 92k people; 44.9% more than Quest 2021
- Gained 430 followers
But don’t just take our word for it — here’s what employees had to say:
“Quest was MIND BLOWING!!! I’ve never heard of a company sending employees to a private, all-inclusive 3-day music festival for their holiday party!” — Jessica Rogers, Business Affairs Manager
“Quest is a really great incentive to work at a company that values employees and really gives us experiences of a lifetime.” — Dennis Moore, Installation Manager
