The RONA MS Bike Tour is a unique way to get together outside the office for Team The Plan, made up of employees and clients from Investors Group Financial Services in Whitby.
“As in many offices, we work with a lot of people but may not know each other except to say hello in passing,” says team captain Luke Scott. “This is an opportunity to do something together, to share a common goal, and to get to know each other outside the workplace environment.”
“By also inviting clients to join us, we develop those relationships and add a whole new dimension to them,” he adds. “Ultimately we’re connected to each other in a different way.”
While part of the incentive behind the team was to build relationships, Luke says that helping to end MS is as important as the networking. “We’re committed to giving back to the community and supporting causes we’re passionate about.”
After riding for the first time in 2010, the team hopes to double its size this year. “Taking part in the tour definitely solidifies our colleague and client connections, and that benefit carries forward into our everyday work,” Luke says. “And since we’re supporting a very worthwhile cause, we’re winning on both sides.”
