A group of over 100 Microsoft employees were recently in Malta for a week-long offsite visit during which they had the opportunity to conduct a series of business meetings to discuss collaborations between their respective markets and operations.

Their week in Malta also featured a number of events such as team building activities in Valletta and Mdina, a volunteer day and a promotional drive of Windows 8 at The Point shopping mall in Tignè.

During this drive, marketing managers from all over the multicountry region interacted with shoppers, showed them the Windows 8 on tablets to better understand local consumers and their views and opinions about the new platform.

One of the highlights of this week experience was a volunteer day at the Millennium Chapel in Paceville. During this event, all employees helped out with maintenance and painting at the Millennium Chapel premises and entertained a number of under-privileged families to some fun activities. At the end of this Volunteer Day, Microsoft Malta made a donation of €25,000 in cash and in software products.

“We are delighted to have had the opportunity to make this event a positive and beneficial one for the Millennium Chapel one. Microsoft Malta is very conscious of the demanding challenges that this insitution is facing and the great work it is doing in its community and this has spurred Microsoft Malta to make this donation. Microsoft is very close to NGOs and charity institutions in Malta. Over the last five years, Microsoft Malta has donated over €600,000 in software, hardware and financial donations to a number of NGO’s,” said Adrianna Zammit, country manager for Microsoft Malta and Cyprus.
