Revamping onboarding sessions at VO2 Asia Pacific
Traditional presentations with slides weren’t cutting it anymore for team-building and training sessions
Gabby Dong is the HR Manager at VO2 Asia Pacific, part of VO2 Group. Their mission is to drive success for the world’s most iconic brands by offering end-to-end support - from strategy and innovation to large-scale execution - leveraging expertise in business, technology, data, and AI.
"It can be challenging to keep people’s attention," she explained, "and when we need interaction, people are often hesitant to actively share their thoughts." Gabby needed something more engaging - and she found it in Mentimeter.
From the moment Gabby discovered Mentimeter, it stood out among the competition for its user-friendly design and interactive features. She quickly put Mentimeter to work in one of the most pivotal HR tasks: onboarding.
"Onboarding is a critical process that gives new employees a first impression of the company," she said. Instead of the usual lecture format, Gabby used Mentimeter to create a fun, dynamic quiz. The quiz covered VO2’s founding year, global reach, corporate culture, and more. It didn’t just deliver the information - it got employees talking, laughing, and learning.
"Turning our onboarding lecture into a fun and engaging quiz with Mentimeter served as a great icebreaker to help new employees relax and reinforced key points in a memorable and interactive way."

She credits features like the real-time quiz leaderboard as one of the key drivers for the buzz in her sessions. "The improvement in participation has been remarkable," she said. "The leaderboard sparks lively discussions and creates an energetic atmosphere."
One of Gabby’s favorite things about Mentimeter? The little details. "The adorable avatars assigned to participants before the quiz starts are such a fun and creative touch," she said. They align perfectly with VO2’s vibrant company culture.
Looking ahead, Gabby sees even more opportunities with Mentimeter. She’s eager to explore additional features and increase its use in future sessions. For Gabby, tools like Mentimeter are game-changers for making her work feel unique - and for building connections in a team.
"I believe great companies like Mentimeter deserve to be seen and recognized," Gabby said. With her efforts, it’s clear she’s putting both VO2 and Mentimeter on the map for innovation and engagement in APAC.
