Camaraderie At Work
Read
Kaufman Rossin was recently named a “Best Place to Work,” and I can see why! I’ve only been employed here four months and I’ve already experienced some great benefits such as massages on site, healthy snacks in the kitchen, and friendly invitations to lunch.
Last week I experienced another way Kaufman, Rossin takes care of their employees. Despite it being tax season, we were encouraged to take a break and participate in the Mercedes Benz Corporate Run in Fort Lauderdale. Part of my job, being on the marketing team, is to help host events. This 5K Run/Walk proved to be the most fun event I’ve had so far! Why? Team camaraderie!
I drove up early, bought lots of food and drinks, and lugged coolers over to our river view tent to set up. I was pleasantly surprised by two of our principals who showed up early to help! We hung signs, laid out food and had plenty of time to take in the view, have a salsa dance lesson and occasionally check-in with the office via the iPad. I was excited as the rest of our team began to show up – most of them I hadn’t had the chance to meet yet. One group even “carpooled” via boat! I thought that was pretty cool for an accounting firm. There were good-natured challenges for race performances, tons of encouragement, and a 100% completion by our racers. The photos I captured showed lots of smiles, and gratitude for a much needed break from the daily grind. After eating dinner and basking in our collective success, everybody pitched in to clean up – that was another nice surprise!
As I reflected on the evening, I knew right away what made Kaufman, Rossin a best place to work — the people.
