Host a Team Summit
Exectras is a fully remote company and tackles these risks with intentional team-building. At our July Team Summit in Houston, our nationwide crew flew in for three days of connection and collaboration. We held brainstorming sessions to spark innovation, shared laughter over dinner and drinks, and battled it out in competitive putt-putt golf.
The result?
A tighter team bond that fuels collaboration. As the saying goes, the team that plays together stays together!
