In this blog, we are taking a quick tour on &#8216;Bridge Global 2020&#8217; &#8211; the major and minor incidents and milestones in the year 2020 that made us humble, thrilled, and proud.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Powered by over 15-years of experience, we could continue to put a smile on the faces of many through our unique <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bridge-global.com\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\">custom software solutions<\/a> and the forbearance to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bridge-global.com\/covid-19-experience-with-our-clients-and-employees\" class=\"rank-math-link\">change with times<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed the year wasn\u2019t exactly what humanity had expected and hoped for. But it\u2019s worthwhile to take stock of good memories because goodness prevails amid chaos. The year 2020 has treated us with some transformative paths, and we\u2019re happy to review them as we step into 2021. Here we go\u2026Let&#8217;s explore Bridge Global 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">IT Futsal Challenge 2020<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bridge-global.com\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Bridge Global<\/a> conducted the 4th edition of <a href=\"https:\/\/futsal.bridge-global.com\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\">IT Futsal Challenge<\/a> on February 14-16 &amp; 21-23, 2020 at the United Sports Center, Kochi. The event witnessed exciting participation of about 150 teams from various IT companies. The six-day sports gala had a vibrant closing ceremony with Bridgys performing an incredible <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JhLPOpMBmKE\" class=\"rank-math-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">flash mob<\/a> stealing the show.

The teeny-weeny virus was strong enough to force us to stay indoors indefinitely. As soon as the pandemic had set in, we allowed all our employees to shift to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bridge-global.com\/blog\/working-from-home-because-of-covid-19-heres-how-you-can-stay-agile\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\">work from home<\/a> mode. They can continue so until it is safe to return to the office in full capacity. We keep our office open (following all safety protocols) for those who wish to work from the office due to the internet or other infrastructural issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have supported our employees with COVID-19 allowance and COVID-insurance packages to keep them financially comfortable, emotionally peaceful, and physically healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Embraced the \u2018New Normal\u2019 for Our Clients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We are committed to delivering digital products on mobile, web &amp; connected platforms to our clients around the globe. Regardless of how complex and unprecedented the situation is, we reaffirmed our commitment to help our clients, partners, and communities to embrace the massive transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are getting through this with compassion, patience, and partnership. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bridge-global.com\/covid-19-experience-with-our-clients-and-employees\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Check out how we are moving forward and making a difference<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Celebrations Went Virtual<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Though most of the employees are working from home, we can never ditch our celebrations. None of the festivals went unnoticed or celebration-less. We brought all Bridgys together through virtual festivities. We even celebrated our team as well as individual achievements, project milestones etc. through our virtual weekly meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"226\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bridge-global.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/virtual-meetings.jpg\" alt=\"Meetings and celebrations went virtual during the pandemic lock-down in Bridge Global\" class=\"wp-image-46871\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bridge-global.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/virtual-meetings.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.bridge-global.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/virtual-meetings-300x136.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We had a vibrant Onam celebration (Kerala\u2019s most important festival) with pomp and splendour.

That\u2019s why we thought of sending a paper greeting card to all Bridgys for Onam 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"351\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bridge-global.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Onam-2020-cards.jpg\" alt=\"Paper greeting card to all employees for Onam 2020\" class=\"wp-image-46873\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bridge-global.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Onam-2020-cards.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.bridge-global.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Onam-2020-cards-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bridge-global.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Onam-2020-cards-427x300.jpg 427w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We took this as an opportunity to thank all our employees for sticking with us and making us proud each day with their innovation and dedication.
