Community Involvement: Sykes & the North Dallas Chamber

Today's post is a bit of a departure.  Sykes, as a company, is proud to be involved in our community as volunteers and supporters of a number of orgnaizations.

One key organization is the North Dallas Chamber of Commerce.

Recently, our own Kevin Wallace presented a business seminar to the Chamber with his wife, HR consultant Amy Wallace. Kevin and Amy are knowledgeable business people and their presentation, given as a part of the Chamber's Business Toolbox Series, allowed them to share their knowledge while giving visibility to our company.

Kevin and Amy's presentation on business etiquette in the workplace, gave tips and ideas to business owners on everything from acceptable language and dress to how to formulate an employee manual or policy.

"As a business person you not only need to think outside the box, you need to refold that box into an employee manual," Kevin said in the presentation. the value of creating and maintaining a workable company culture is invaluable.

"If you don't work to create your company culture," Amy said, "your employees will do it for you."

The value of sharing your business expertise with your fellow business owners in the community through a chamber or other group is tremendously valuable to both the giver as well as the receiver. Sykes has made many friends and learned a lot from our fellow business owners and operators in North Texas.
