Kimball Electronic China's (KECN) Spring Outing 2026: Embracing Nature and Strengthening Connections

Jun 2, 2026, 08:16 by Ashlee Wahl

 

 

With the arrival of spring and a renewed sense of energy, nearly 500 employees from Kimball Electronics China (KECN), along with their family members, came together to participate in the company’s 2026 Spring Outing—an annual event designed to foster well-being, connection, and team spirit.

 

Centered on the theme Embrace Nature, Walk Together,” this year’s outing reflected employee feedback and preferences, offering a diverse range of experiences across five scenic destinations: Nanjing Youzi Mountain, Yangzhou Slender West Lake, Nanjing Happy Valley, Jiangning Xinghua Village, and Hangzhou Qiandao Lake. Each location provided employees with the opportunity to step outside their daily routines, immerse themselves in nature, and enjoy meaningful shared experiences.

 

Surrounded by the beauty of the Jiangnan region, participants engaged in a variety of activities—from casual conversations and team games to sightseeing and sampling local cuisine. These moments allowed employees to recharge both physically and mentally, while also strengthening personal connections beyond the workplace.

 

Sally Sun, Quality System Engineer, shared her perspective on the experience:
“The spring outing was incredibly relaxing and enjoyable. Spending time chatting, playing games, and enjoying the scenery helped me truly unwind. It also brought me closer to my colleagues, and I returned feeling refreshed and energized.”

 

More than just a recreational event, the Spring Outing also served as a platform to strengthen collaboration and trust across teams. As employees connected in a relaxed and informal setting, they reinforced relationships that support effective teamwork in the workplace.

 

Albert Zhang, Facility Manager, emphasized the broader impact of the event:
“These moments go beyond simply taking a break. They help build deeper trust and stronger team connections, reflecting our guiding principles in action.”

 

The strong participation across teams highlights KECN’s continued commitment to cultivating a supportive and collaborative workplace culture. By investing in initiatives that promote employee well-being and engagement, the organization reinforces its belief that strong relationships are fundamental to long-term success.

 

Through events like the Spring Outing, Kimball Electronics continues to bring its values to life—encouraging employees to grow together, support one another, and create quality for life both in and beyond the workplace.
