"Opportunities for team members from different business functions such as Sales, Operations and Shared Services to collaborate and build relationships can be limited; their paths may never cross on a working day.
We in Pallas really wanted to create opportunities for team building and bonding in an organic way rather than through structured social activities.
We knew the PepTalk hub would help solve this issue but the adoption and usage by employees during the Workplace Wellness Championships was really impressive”

Purpose A non-work way to break down work silos
Pallas Foods uses the PepTalk is to provide an opportunity for employees from all departments to communicate. The PepTalk program became an effective way of starting conversations between people who may not have had a work-related reason to talk.
