Company: Lincoln
Benefit Life
Programs:
Employee Incentive/Recognition
Program Types: Travel
Objective:
Team building excursion and meetings for 12 sales and marketing employees
who sell variable life and annuities, including Greg Farley, executive vice
president of Lincoln Benefit Life, who was also the coordinator of the trip.
The excursion took place on the Royal Pacific Canadian railway, which is
comprised of five, three-engine vintage railway cars from the early 1900s. It
was a six-day trip, starting at Calgary, Alberta, and going through the Canadian
Rockies. The train has meeting rooms, dining car, suites for two, and high-speed
Internet access.
The purpose for the excursion was to conduct teambuilding exercises and meetings
to discuss business strategies and to see how well the team worked together.
According to Farley, "This trip helped me to choose my divisional managers
after I got a better feel for each member of the team. I got to see how everyone
interacted with each other." The group also had the opportunity to play
golf, hike, and fly fish on stops along the way from, Banff to Invermere.
"Everyone was so proud of themselves when the chef cooked their catch at
our final lunch. The chef turned it into poached trout over rice," said
Farley.
Results: "Our salespeople spend up to 80 percent of their time on
the road in hotel rooms," says Farley. "These are fairly seasoned
travelers, so finding something unique helped us develop an esprit de
corp."
