On Friday, February 10 the PaperFree employees participated in their first ‘Company Day’. As a day set aside specifically for team building, training, and other activities, company days are an excellent opportunity to bring all the company’s many departments together for one purpose. For this first event, all the employees were treated to morning CPR certification classes taught by the American Red Cross. Though PaperFree is not in the business of medical care, CEO James Robinson shared that he had an experience where someone was in medical distress and he found himself unsure of his CPR training from many years prior. He shared that any one of the employees could find themselves in his shoes and having the opportunity to be trained could end up saving a life. In addition to adult CPR, employees were trained on infant CPR, choking emergencies, and how to set up and use AED devices. Many PaperFree employees have young children so the additional training modules are certainly a benefit to have at home.
For the second part of the day employees split into teams and gave a thorough cleaning and dusting to all their offices, conference rooms, break rooms, etc. - helping to build a sense of responsibility in maintaining one's work and common areas. All in all, we'll call the first Company Day a success!
PaperFree looks forward to the opportunities that Company Days provide and is excited to organize more in the future.
