Despite the challenges of the current COVID-era pandemic, DCO Commercial Floors president Curtis Blanton was determined to host an in-person kick-off meeting to bring all their employees together, a chance to mark the achievements of the past, reflect on their current challenges and discuss how they could use those experiences to improve and shape the future.
“We do a lot of meetings either all or mostly virtual,” Blanton said. “This was an event where our entire team needed to be fully engaged as we reinforced our core purpose, our core values and top goals. This is where it all starts, everything else is lost without it. My vision for the company, our core purpose, and our culture are only discussed in person in this company. Those conversations simply don’t happen on a web call. Important conversations happen in person. Many companies don’t realize that they risk losing their culture during this time of a virtual mindset. Going virtual just becomes the easy answer.”
