City Side Distribution Team Preps for Upcoming Conference
Providence, Rhode Island, August 28, 2015 (Newswire.com) - “I am looking forward to this meeting,” said the City Side Distribution’s director of operations. “This is the top leadership event and we’re looking forward to sharing our team’s accomplishments with other managers from across the country.”
He noted that at these meetings, managers are invited to discuss how their respective teams have met or exceeded their goals since the last gatherings. “Sure, there’s a bit of competition there,” he admitted. “Our team has been hitting targets nicely and I’m pleased to be able to report it. However, it’s not a matter of winners or losers. The point is for those who have excelled to be able to share how they’ve reached their objectives. We all learn from each other. When we can collectively discuss best practices, we all win.”
"For us, many trips are incentive-based opportunities, so they have to be earned,"
Recently, the director and Danielle, City Side Distribution’s human resource director, traveled to Chicago to train and mentor new associates. “There’s something simply amazing about watching individuals who are new to the business learn and grow under your tutelage,” he said. “It’s rewarding to see the light bulbs in their minds turn on as they start to grasp key concepts or understand the methodology.”
City Side Distribution Managers Discuss Team Travel to the Bahamas
In addition to the leadership meeting and the Chicago trip, the team’s next exciting adventure will take place in November. Top performers will be traveling to the company’s R&R retreat at the luxurious Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas. “Not only will we enjoy the beaches and the resort’s amenities, but we’ll be busy connecting with colleagues from other regions and meeting some of the industry’s top leaders. It’s going to be a terrific time. We can’t wait to go.”
As he shared, the City Side Distribution team enjoys the benefits of travel. “I know in today’s market, many company leaders have slashed their travel budgets to a minimum,” he said. “I believe there’s an ROI that you can attain with well-planned trips.”
“For us, many trips are incentive-based opportunities, so they have to be earned,” he noted. “Right there, you’re showing a tangible benefit of achieving exceptional results. The bar gets raised pretty high to attain these rewards. You have to want it.”
The director noted that there are intangible benefits as well. “First, you’re getting away and refreshing your body, mind, and spirit,” he said. “You have to do this to sustain productivity. Next, you’re enjoying each other’s company outside the confines of your office environment. No matter how positive your culture is, if you want to see people in a different way, you have to step away from the known. Finally, inspiration comes from new adventures.”
“Every time we travel, we up our game a little,” the director concluded. “It’s the best ROI of all.”
