It's summertime at AccountingDepartment.com and we have all sorts of fun things happening! To kick off the summer season this past Memorial Day weekend, we launched our 14th annual ADC Summer Challenge.
As an entirely virtual company, ADC strives to promote being active and bringing our employees together. The Summer Challenge initially started as a "Walk-to-Work" challenge by Co-founder, Dennis Najjar. Of course, a tongue-in-cheek play on words for all of our home office crew. Incentives were given to those participating and there was an honor system done by logging mileage in an Excel spreadsheet.
Since then, we have upgraded to the exciting Racery platform, which has routes around the world. Participation in the ADC Summer Challenge involves various activities, such as running, yard work, chasing the kids around, weight lifting, and more!
This year, over 130 participants, making up a total of 5 teams, embark on a thrilling journey around the world! This 6000-mile adventure combines the passion for being active with the exploration of unique landmarks and scenic landscapes, virtually, of course. Participants will navigate through a carefully designed route, winding through cities, quaint towns, and sprawling countrysides that stretch as far as the eye can see.
Here at AccountingDepartment.com, we have a family-first focus for our employees and provide them with the opportunity and flexibility to have a healthy work-life balance. So it's no wonder that ADC's amazing company culture has landed it on the 2022, 2023, and 2024 Inc. Best Workplaces List - a true testament to our accomplishments around the workplace we have created.
With that, we would like to wish good luck to all of our Summer Challenge participants and happy summer to all!
