What March Madness Means At Graylyn

March is rapidly approaching and (despite daylight saving time and St. Patrick's Day) what does that mean to all those sports enthusiasts out there? March Madness, of course! While employers complain that they lose money during the NCAA tournament, employees score on their office pool winnings. But do these activities harm your employees' moral or boost it? Let's take a look at this infographic.


There seems to be much research that has been done about work productivity during March Madness, but why watch the games in your office, lit with flourescent lighting and surrounded by chatty coworkers, while you can watch them in a comfortable setting. 

Each year at Graylyn, we set up our own bracket and show the games throughout the tournament in our very own Grille Room. Relax by the fire with a cocktail and maybe even some appetizers and enjoy the games. 

Stay tuned for more information about Grille Room openings for the March Madness, and we hope to see you here! Go Deacs!
