This past week, TASC assembled the entire team and paused our daily work to take some time and learn about what TASC is focusing on this upcoming year, celebrate the achievements of some of TASC’s highest performing employees, and to re-engage with our culture.
Having an annual employee conference is nothing new for TASC; we have been doing it for nearly 50 years. Over the years, the meetings have looked different. From the times that we had 10 employees huddled in a conference room for a two-hour meeting, to an event space accommodating well over 1,000 people for three days of meetings capped off with a city-wide philanthropy event, to our fully remote meetings during COVID-19. Today, our meetings are a hybrid format with employees joining both in-person and remotely for a full day of activities. Regardless of the meeting format, it is always a BIG show, and I am amazed at how the event team finds new ways to create a memorable experience for our employees every year.
What has never changed over the years is a commitment to bring employees together to align everyone with where TASC is going, provide our employees time to connect with one another, and appreciate their achievements.
This year was no different.
Even though we are a privately held company, we are an open book with our employees. We spent time sharing how the company is performing financially, how that compares to our goals for the year, and what next year will bring. Our owner discussed all the eras of the business, and we discussed TASC’s commitment to growth and the responsibility that every TASC employee has to drive growth. We got a sneak peek and some training on our new Giving offerings and accounts that will coming to the market in 2025, and we celebrated the achievements of 12 employees who inspired us all with their impact on our company, customers, and the community.
It was a great day. I left the meeting with tremendous pride for what we accomplished this year, but most of all I am inspired and rejuvenated about our future and our new Growth Era!
