It’s no coincidence that a well-connected team is also a more productive, loyal and satisfied one. For In Business’ Feedback series, which compiles top questions and answers from Valley business leaders, CEO Andrea Aker emphasized how team-building activities like volunteering are key for fostering interdepartmental bonds that strengthen agency culture as well as the community.
As an example, she shared how Aker Ink’s quarterly volunteer outings with local organizations are not only an excellent way to give back, but also an opportunity to break down siloes among colleagues who don’t interact on a daily basis. As a result, she noted, the team feels supported and better equipped to resolve challenges.
