4 Reasons Your Company Should Hold Off-Site Gatherings

Within the marketing department here at Dominion Systems, we make a point to get off-site from time to time. Whether it’s to drive across state to attend a Hubspot User Group or just down the road to our favorite coffee shop, we understand the importance of getting a change of scenery every once in a while. As a company, however, this can be pretty difficult to manage. After all, many of the departments within our organization have to be on site in order to run on all cylinders. That being said, we manage to get everyone from the company off-site whenever possible. For example, every year we throw a huge holiday party to celebrate the hard work we do during year-end. We also get each department to go out on a “department outing” over the summer months. Whether it’s a day spent on the lake or on the golf course, this is a great way to get some fresh air and not feel cooped up over the summer months. Whenever one department is out for the day, everyone else is happy to step in to make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
