Additional Culture Details
We believe that culture is a widely prioritized aspect of business across many industries now. Working with a team is a privilege, not a right. That is one thing we are very passionate about at The James Agency. We begin our Monday Morning Hustles, our version of an all-hands Monday morning meeting, with a “team kudos” that quickly turns into a 20-minute pat on the back about the extraordinary accomplishments we as a team have made in the week prior. Starting our Monday Morning Hustles out with gratitude helps employees feel valued and appreciated and often inspires them to keep reaching higher.
Corporate culture has the reputation of being toxic — a quality that is exponentially draining to a company and professional workplace. Ensuring employees have a safe environment with positive and respectful personalities is key to a positive corporate culture. Leaders should be encouraged to speak with honesty, integrity and vulnerability by being completely transparent with their employees.
Once a quarter, our company shuts down the office for a full day, for our “quarterly meeting.” In the first half of the day, we spend time talking about the state of the agency, listening to keynote speakers and peers presenting exciting new concepts/learnings and becoming reinspired about the work that we’re doing. The second portion of the day is a team build, where we can connect as a team. This benefits the agency as a whole, making us feel more connected.
