Three Best Things to Happen at the TrackFive Holiday Party

Have you ever had one of those warm, content feelings in the pit of your stomach as you realize you are exactly where you are meant to be? This is the best way I can think of to describe the TrackFive holiday party. Although we have different company events throughout the year, this is by far the highlight – even for those who aren’t crazy about the holiday season. The team gets dressed up and goes to a fully catered event at a classy restaurant. We get to share food, drinks, gifts, and so much laughter. We forget about the grind of work and just relax and enjoy the unique group of people that we work with. Everyone brings their significant other too, which really opens the door to us bonding on a more personal level. As the company grows, somehow this event remains a cozy, intimate evening in the heart of downtown Lancaster.

Top Highlights of the TrackFive Holiday Party

This year was extra special. Check out the top highlights of the 2018 TrackFive holiday party!

1. Our Florida team came to visit

The holiday party is one of the few times in the year that our entire company is together. We make the people who work in Florida fly up here and suffer in the cold with us. Having them in the office all day, and then being able to spend casual time with them in the evening at the party really helps create unity. When you have two offices so far apart, it is really challenging to make sure the same company culture exists in both places. It’s also hard to feel like one solid team. Times like this, when we can all be together, are vital to overcoming those challenges. We have teams who are communicating and working together daily, yet have never met face to face. It’s always fun to meet those people in person. And what better way than to bond over great food, drinks, and the spontaneous karaoke after-party?

2. We’re getting new benefits

The second-best thing that happened during the holiday part is that we finally got to hear about the big changes coming to our benefits in 2019. Our president revealed our new benefits for us at the holiday party. We’ve known for a long time that this was in the works, and by some miracle, it was kept a secret until the night of the party. This made the event really exciting. Although we already have some of the best benefits around, like our health insurance paid for in-full, TrackFive is adding a really cool new feature to the benefit plan. We have something like an ala-cart package deal, where you can pick from a selection of benefits up to a certain value. Some of our options are student loan or wellness reimbursement, and even a few unique ones like pet insurance! We have lots of pet lovers here at TrackFive, so this is a pretty cool idea.

3. SPOILER ALERT: We’re rebranding!

The most exciting part of the entire night was that we are rebranding! A challenge we run into a lot as a company is finding an efficient and clear way to explain what we do. For this reason, we decided it was time to rebrand and reform our message. It’s been more than 10 years since the company was founded, so it’s time for a facelift. We partnered with a local branding firm here in Lancaster, and we all got to see the new logo at the party. Sorry – we can’t show you just yet, but the rebrand will be official in the new year, so be sure to check it out then!
