TMB Virtual Events – Winter 2022
Throughout our time with maximum telework due to the COVID-19 pandemic, TMB has been holding virtual events for all employees. While we look forward to having events in the office again once we reopen and return to the office, this has allowed us to stay in contact with our employees and keep the connections we have established in the office and meet new hires. To kick off many of these events our Chief Operations Officer (COO), Dan Clague, would briefly go down the list of attendees and introduce them and their role in the company to the group. This has been very helpful to our employees who have started since the pandemic began because it allows them to put a face with many of the names they have been hearing and working with before we return to the office. Our virtual events range from a monthly morning coffee session with the COO to diversity talks to company All Hands presentations. For one event we borrowed a tradition from the Navy and the COO held a modified “rope yarn Sunday” to check in with employees and enjoy a little virtual down time together.
Another part of our Return to Office implementation is to conduct formal training associated with professionalism and etiquette while supporting our Navy customers. We developed a new and updated presentation on this subject and held an on-line training this fall. New employees were provided some valuable information to support our Navy customers while our seasoned professionals appreciated the reminders. One employee said, “Thank you so much for the presentation it was very informative and gave me a great refresh about getting ready to return to [the] office.”
