Frank den Brok, director of finance for T&B's European, Middle Eastern & Asian (EMEA) operations organized the conference which included topics such as efficiently integrating new acquisitions, tax policy, budgeting process, IT systems and inventory management.
"As a company, we want to achieve new heights, therefore, we need to operate on high levels," said Frank. "The conference was an invaluable forum and venue and was well attended and very effective for our purposes."
However, it wasn't all business. Not far from the conference, hidden among the forest, the group took part in team-building exercises that also took them to "new heights"–literally. The activities included tree climbing and zip-lining through the woods.
"Working as a team yields better results than a group of individuals," said Fabrice VanBelle, president of EMEA operations. "Group activities are an excellent way to have employees bond with each other. It's no secret that a well bonded team of workers is more productive."
