baronessekatto work that is.
today was a 6 hour day.
Mostly we sat and did some great team building and discussion on how we want to proceed. We did an SWOT exercise (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) and came up with a preliminary list of goals.
Now that we only have 8 people in the company one of the things we did today is work on office arrangement. There had been a division of back/production staff and front/admin staff prior to this. So to eliminate this, the three of the front office (of which I am one) have moved our desks to the back so that we all are a community. This may or may not change if we get a new CEO but we will face that then. Right now we need to build our team feeling and better interpersonal relations/communications.
One thing that I'm really glad about is that our interim GM is wanting to focus on employees. Happiness, comfort and the like. There is even talk of once things are up and running doing 1/2 day fridays every other friday (like payday friday). But this won't be a thing until we are more stable.
Next things we need to do is offer up a list of potential new slogans to the board and create a new logo. Logo I leave to the creative department. I have a few suggestions for the slogan.
Once those are in place then we can focus on refocusing our schedule/programming. We discussed this a little, just throwing around ideas.
I can honestly say that for the first time in a very long time, today felt like a positive and productive day at work.
