Even 10 days later, "People are walking through the halls high-fiving each other," says Johnson. "The atmosphere here is just joyous." To keep it that way, Adlink managers are planning another offsite next year. And they've invited the Orion Learning trainers to follow up with quarterly visits to Adlink headquarters, where they will use slogans and short exercises to refresh the staff...
