On Thursday, February 9, the Wheeler team gathered at the San Jose office, as well as in virtual meetings, for the second of many Collaborative Days. After the first Collaborative Day in Fall of 2022, the positive feedback was overwhelming, so the tradition began. These events are opportunities for the local team to connect in person, spend dedicated time discussing important topics in an open environment, and top it off with fun teambuilding experiences!
On February 9, we first held a time of remembrance for Keith Plottel, his legacy, and his contributions to the firm and the greater tax community. Then we broke out into small groups rotating through a range of subjects, including:
- Potential topics for future blog posts
- Website improvements
- Our vision for internal committees at Wheeler
- Department specific needs, and
- Improving collaboration with our remote team members
Thank you to all of our staff for jumping in and participating—we believe the best way to grow and improve is by hearing from everyone in the firm at all staff levels and working together to implement the best ideas.
After a full day of collaboration, the party moved to LVL Up in Campbell, a nostalgic arcade bar filled with over 25 classic arcade games and pinball machines.
