To enrich employees' cultural life, showcase their athletic spirit, promote physical and mental well-being, enhance communication, and strengthen teamwork and cohesion, Glory Home Furnishings successfully held its annual Employee Sports Games on October 29, 2021.

The sports games featured a variety of events, including team competitions such as tug-of-war, 50-meter relay race, three-legged race, group jump rope, and bridge-crossing, as well as individual events like kangaroo jump, badminton, table tennis, and billiards. Teams were formed by departments or combined departments for group events, while employees could voluntarily sign up for individual events based on their interests. Over 200 employees participated in the competitions.

The tug-of-war, the highlight of the annual games, was the most intense and demanding event, testing teamwork, skill, endurance, and willpower. Ten teams from sales, R&D, administration, production, quality control, and logistics competed fiercely. Regardless of strength or outcome, team members fought for collective honor and personal challenge, demonstrating unity, encouragement, perseverance, and unwavering effort—truly showcasing the power of teamwork. Even losing teams earned respectful applause. After intense competition, the Sponge Production Team 2 emerged as the tug-of-war champion.
