Winston-Salem, NC, October 30, 2015 (Newswire.com) - “It is essential to give your people every opportunity to expand their horizons,” stated Greyson, the director of operations at Winston Grey. “When they attend industry gatherings and corporate retreats, they get to do just that. Team members get to experience the highlights of a new location while they rub shoulders with innovative performers from across the industry. Travel is a winning proposition for professionals, so we try to give our associates here at Winston Grey a range of options to get away from the office so they can learn new skills and establish new connections.”
The company’s team members participate in a variety of travel incentives, often involving exotic locales and relaxing retreats. The director commented, “It’s fun to watch our people compete for the most coveted trips. There is a strong sense of healthy competition when a getaway to an exciting place is on the line. It means even better results for our firm and for the brands we represent, so we try to offer many travel opportunities.”

Winston Grey’s Director Discusses Skill Development and Business Travel
Greyson and the Winston Grey executive team believe that the skill-sharpening potential of business travel is reason enough to venture away from the office. The director noted, “You can gain valuable new contacts and pick up new techniques at industry events, but there are other abilities you can refine as well.”
Time management is a key skill for professionals, especially in a hyper-connected world filled with distractions. “We want our associates here at Winston Grey to know how to prioritize tasks and have enough time to get important things done,” the director added. “When you attend a conference or a seminar, you have to plan your activities very carefully, or you will miss out on valuable sessions and speeches. Our team gets better at managing the hours in a day every time we attend an industry event.”
Greyson also appreciates the fact that business travel helps enhance communication skills. “Whether it’s navigating the challenges of getting to the event site or making connections with new people, you are always sharpening your communication skills,” she remarked. “Our team members gain confidence through the trips we arrange, and it often leads to new contacts and unexpected opportunities.”
