The Dallas Standard Extols the Virtues of Travel
While there are many perks that come with working at The Dallas Standard, perhaps one of the team's favorites is the ability to travel as a group. The managers recently described the many travel opportunities available to associates.
Dallas, TX, October 30, 2015 (Newswire.com) - “We make it a practice to get our team out and about,” said Taylor, The Dallas Standard’s director of operations. “The benefits are truly worth the time and money spent.”
Taylor noted that The Dallas Standard team members are eligible to earn travel opportunities that range from attending regional or national conferences to retreats at luxurious tropical resorts. “We set goals for our associates individually and as a team,” she explained. “If they are among the top performers, they can participate in these events.”
"It's important to mix it up a bit,"

As Taylor noted, in addition to using travel as an incentive to promote extra effort, the team also cross-trains with other regional branches and engages in local activities that bring them together outside of the office environment.
“It’s important to mix it up a bit,” she shared. “Just being away from the office together adds a different dimension to team bonding that is often missing when travel is considered a luxury instead of a fundamental part of operations.”
The Dallas Standard’s Director Discusses Benefits of Travel for Career Skill Development
There are several benefits to travel that Taylor suggested can improve associates’ career skills. “Time management is a great one,” she noted. “When you’re traveling, you have to be extra diligent about how you prioritize your time. Not only are you expected to be certain places at certain times, you have to contend with travel-related delays. Planning ahead will help you maximize your time, even if you’re waiting around an airport or train station.”
“The other skill that is developed through travel is your networking strategy,” she added. “When our team travels, we meet assortments of people. It’s perfect for attaining new and exciting connections that can be tickets to future opportunities.”
As Taylor noted, diverse perspectives ultimately drive innovation. “I tell my team all the time, you’re not going to be inspired staring at four walls. Get out and experience the world around you. You’ll find that you’re more invigorated and that the ideas flow more freely.”
“We invest in our travel program at The Dallas Standard because we believe the benefits far outweigh any costs,” Taylor concluded. “There’s a huge world out there in which we can learn and grow together, and build a stronger business.”
