Pack Your Bags – The DLT Solutions’ Team Trip

It’s a cool 32 degrees outside in the dead of winter and DLT Solutions’ employees are dusting off their bathing suits and suntan lotion. Why? Because they’re about to jet set to the Caribbean for their all-expenses-paid, highly coveted, team trip. One of the highlights of working at DLT, team trips to Caribbean destinations are awarded to sales divisions if that division hits their annual sales goal. But the sales reps aren’t the only employees that benefit from hitting their sales goal. DLT provides the same opportunity to employees from HR, Marketing and Accounting. Because driving revenue to ensure we hit our sales goals is a team effort, team trips share the “everybody or nobody” mentality. In fact, six years ago, the company was surveyed about the team trip format. Employees were given the choice of revamping the incentive program to send individual employees who hit their personal goals versus sending the entire team if the collective goal was met. The results were unanimous to keep the team trip in place as is; sending employees as a team. This speaks to the “we are one team” mentality which has been a driving factor behind DLT’s growth. Kids, spouses and significant others aren’t allowed on trips so they become a chance for employees to form bonds. “What can I say? DLT team trips are the best. Everything is taken care of and it’s a great opportunity to let loose with coworkers outside of an office environment,” said Ali Adler, Sales Rep on the Infrastructure and Peripherals division. Team trips are the pinnacle of DLT’s “work hard, play hard” philosophy. Past destinations have included the Bahamas, Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Punta Cana, and more. As if the trips themselves weren’t enough incentive, all of the conference rooms at DLT are names after tropical destinations to keep those enticements front of mind.
