Offsite/onsite 2 day executive pow wow is now over and wait until I tell you one of the topics of discussion...Food Emails! Yes, you read it right, food emails are derailing the company momentum!
A little background, as mentioned in prior posts, we have great relationships with many of our local restaurants, so naturally we receive their emails for specials and promotions, which we forward to our employees as a matter of general knowledge.
I choose to believe your average person receives email information, decides whether or not it is relevant or of interest and either accepts or deletes the information at hand, either way, we're talking less than half a minute of thought here! To have spent even a moment on this crap in the sequestered offsite/onsite is not really filling me with confidence in our leadership!
Sometimes I wonder what would happen if we changed focus and marketed ourselves as a clown college, clearly we could be industry leaders...but, I digress.
Easy fix, putting them out of their collective misery, will not be forwarding any further food or general knowledge emails, and everyone can refocus their energy on working hard for the brain trust!
And we're off...
