Along with several standing committees,<br />

the IDA has recently established<br />

task forces to address challenges faced<br />

by both our association and the detailing<br />

industry at large. The first of these – the<br />

IDA Health & Wellness Task Force – was<br />

created specifically to generate support<br />

for our members for improved mental,<br />

emotional, and physical wellness. With<br />

detailing being a rather labor-intensive<br />

business, it can be taxing on both the<br />

body and on the mind. Additionally, external<br />

factors such as economic market<br />

swings, seasonal business cycles, and even<br />

a global pandemic can impact members’<br />

ability to cope and to thrive in their professional<br />

and personal lives. With all that<br />

in mind, the IDA Health & Wellness Task<br />

Force created a digital library to provide<br />

educational resources to our members<br />

on wellness topics such as maintaining<br />

physical health, managing chronic stress,<br />

navigating health insurance options, dealing<br />

with burnout, and many more issues<br />

that affect detailers’ lives on a daily basis.<br />

Individual members have also contributed<br />

articles to the library, covering topics<br />

such as proper nutrition, physical health<br />

in different climates and seasons, and how<br />

detailing benefits mental health and wellbeing.<br />

We understand that the health of<br />

our members directly affects the health of<br />

their businesses, ultimately affecting the<br />

overall industry, which is why we believe<br />

these resources are so important.<br />

The Health & Wellness Task Force has<br />

also begun hosting periodic virtual “Meet<br />

& Greets”, which are essentially a time for<br />

members to connect with detailing peers<br />

from across the globe and chat about<br />

whatever is on their mind – detailing-related<br />

or not. This initiative stemmed from<br />

virtual weekly group sessions during the<br />

COVID pandemic, which generally covered<br />

a specific topic (such as managing<br />

stress and anxiety or coping with loss) and<br />

were meant to bring members together<br />

at a time when gathering at the usual<br />

tradeshows was impossible. Members<br />

enjoyed the opportunity to connect with<br />

one another without having to deal with<br />

the usual restrictions of travelling, taking<br />

off time from work, etc., so we decided to<br />

continue hosting the virtual events regularly,<br />

even after travel restrictions were<br />

lifted and tradeshows were once again<br />

added to members’ schedules. Keep an<br />

eye on the event calendar on the-ida.com<br />

for upcoming virtual events.<br />

Another recently established group<br />

that has been active in building up resources<br />

is the IDA Industry Standards<br />

Task Force, whose main goal is to gather<br />

global differences in detailing terminology<br />

and other differences within the detailing<br />

process as it is completed around the<br />

world, so that we may create a comprehensive<br />

guide to offer to members. Since<br />

the task force’s inception, the group has<br />

conducted multiple surveys seeking input<br />

from members across the globe about<br />

terms used to describe the same detailing<br />

issue or situation. The data collected from<br />

these surveys have resulted in the updating<br />

of existing glossaries and the creation<br />
