“It gives employees a chance to interact with<br />
people they don’t know very well,” said Chief<br />
Talent Enrichment Officer Monica Steffeck.<br />
While there is time to relax and enjoy the<br />
time away from home, the company does get<br />
down to business with the annual meeting held<br />
from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday.<br />
Along with poring over the businesses’ highs<br />
and lows from the previous year, new initiatives<br />
are announced. In fact, the company usually<br />
waits to make big announcements at the annual<br />
meeting, Steffeck said.<br />
To lighten up this year’s meeting held in<br />
March, some information was presented similar<br />
to a Saturday Night Live newscast.<br />
“It’s funny to laugh at coworkers rather than<br />
sit in a boring meeting,” Steffeck said.<br />
After the meeting wraps up, attendees are<br />
given a chance to explore the area before being<br />
treated to dinner and live band at the hotel on<br />
Saturday night.<br />
The retreat opens up communication<br />
between coworkers who may not have a lot of<br />
interaction with each other at the office.<br />
“We feel like we know each other better at<br />
the end of the weekend and recognize each<br />
other in the halls,” Steffeck said. n<br />
