Tasty team-building

David Crain, KJA Creative Director

Sure, it begins with a paycheck.  (J. O. B.)

But if it ends there, it can be a miserable, uphill trudge. Counting the minutes to “quittin’ time” is a sign that something’s badly askew. Several dynamics can affect whether you find yourself in that trap — or not.

We credit the KJA founders, Ken & Suzan Juneau, for creating a rock-solid team-spirit foundation. But we also recognize that daily, each one of us has a vital role in maintaining that spirit as we march forward. Over the course of a year, our team embarks on a spectrum of unscripted and spontaneous efforts, each magically bonding a diverse collection of individuals into a passionate and committed TEAM.

The activities vary. Greatly. They can range from a Christmas party at one of our homes to a punkin’ carvin’ contest in the conference room.

Today’s installment – nothing less than genius. And while you’d expect that from a company that does award winning work, today’s creation came from one of our team members who’s not officially part of the “creative” core. (We’re all rethinking this right now!) Our receptionist, Janet Logsdon — the first face you see when you enter our front door, has an array of creative skills of her own. For our people celebrating birthdays in March, Janet crafted a stunning and scrumptious work of art.

Is it a basket of fruit? Is it a cake? Is it even edible?
The resounding “OMG!” responses answer all the above.

Yeah – being part of the KJA team has its perks. Today they were extremely high calorie.

Team-building usually takes a bit of effort – but the benefits always outweigh the investment.

Now you know the secret of our recipe for camaraderie. What’s yours?
