Hero Kids Day 2024 Round Up

Hero Kids Day is an annual event dedicated to celebrating employees with children, including parents, guardians, siblings, aunts, uncles, and anyone who has a little Hero in their life.

This event has been a core part of Delivery Hero's community initiative for the past few years and continues to be an important tradition.

Recognise & Celebrate

At Delivery Hero, we prioritize inclusion and believe it is essential to recognize and celebrate employees with children.

We understand that work is a significant part of everyone's life, and we want our employees' families to experience and appreciate our office environment. This is why our Parent Heroes Employee Resource Group is such an important one - Our working parents support each other to make it through the tantrums, tears, and to-do lists!

Hero Kids Day allows us to honor the families of our hardworking employees, giving them a glimpse into our workplace and fostering a sense of community and togetherness.

Activities & Delicious Treats

We transformed our courtyard into a bustling funfair, complete with engaging activities and delicious treats. Partnering with the Delivery Hero Innovations Hub - our very own Dmart,  we offered our little Heroes a unique glimpse into the exciting world of Quick Commerce.

Children of various ages participated in activities such as decorating their own delivery bags, and stepping into the shoes of a real-life DMart employee to pick and pack orders, and of course delivering the items to an employee in the office (with a guardian present, of course!) They also embarked on an exciting scavenger hunt, discovering hidden treasures around the D-mart warehouse.

Additionally, older kids attended engaging learning sessions designed to captivate and inspire with interactive activities and educational content. It was a fantastic opportunity for children to have fun while learning.

The Most Successful Event Yet

This year’s Hero Kids Day was our most successful yet, with over 300 families in attendance and 450 little Heroes enjoying every moment of it! Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with employees noting significant improvements from previous years and feeling heard and valued. 

The team had to give a special shoutout to the balloon artist who kept everyone engaged throughout the day - everyone was captivated by her impressive balloon artistry and left the event with one of her creations! 

As we continue with the Kids Day event, we will build on feedback from participants to ensure every employee's voice is heard. Our goal is to consistently improve and deliver exceptional experiences to our employees and their families.
