Good old fashion team building.
Last Friday, the Watermen Crew headed east to the rolling green hills of Ramona, CA, to enjoy a day of friendly competition and team building at Velocity Paintball. After several hours of sweat and mud, the entire crew was ear to ear with smiles. At first glance, this ‘field-day’ felt like an above-average way to get out of the office and enjoy the fresh air. A cool winter day provided the perfect temperature to enjoy a thorough dose of exercise, but the benefits don’t stop here. Each round of paintball was an excellent opportunity to communicate and strategize with each co-worker. Every individual improved their ability to present a strategy and execute with clear communication. Without the cohesion, each team would face a stinging barrage of paintballs.
Communication is Key
Members from the sales team, marketing department, customer service, and shipping came together with new strategies and approaches each round. Even our technical support team from Crypto IT, joined us in some knee high grass and eucalyptus to show us a thing or two and share the laughs. Highlights included our CEO avoiding all shots, as well as an impressive performance from our newest member to customer service.
These simple skills are transferable to every work place, especially Watermen, where we take pride in our close-knit community and the customers we serve. Without our level of customer support and communication, we would be another average competitor in the swimwear and apparel space. So, on that note, give us a call, and let us know how we can help!
By now, we are back to the office to fulfill your latest suit order. Thanks for working with us over the years, and let us know if you want to join the next round of paintball! Also, check out the Olive Windansea Hoodie – it helped our sales team stay a little extra camouflaged during the paintball.
