Since Delegata is a fast growing company, getting together for a mid year business plan update keeps all informed of our progress and gives us another opportunity to celebrate our successes and review where we need to improve. This year, the business plan update luncheon was held on Monday, July 29th in the Sacramento Club. All full time employees were invited to attend the 2-hour event to hear what the management team had in store for the rest of the year!

The luncheon started off with a review of our growth and what we have done so far. Kais spoke of our accomplishments and the new client accounts we are staring to work with. He also went over the projected growth and actual growth and showed how we were on target to make our numbers for the year. With over 15 open positions, it is obvious that we have some growing pains as well as successes ahead!

In response to the surveys handed out to all full time employees, Kais went over the results and findings. Overall, the management team received positive results and even more positive feedback as to what could be done better. Main issues of concern for employees were benefits and culture, which Kais stated would be part of his immediate priority list.

Brian spoke for a few minutes regarding benefits and the efforts being made in that direction. Though he was primarily working on the Internet Portal project at CalPERS through the end of July, Brian stepped in to work on the Delegata benefits project as it was an immediate priority for the company. His report was mostly a summary of the steps that will be taken in the upcoming months where the employee stock purchase plan was concerned.

Kais finished the luncheon off by handing out bonus checks and announcing promotions. Congratulations to the following employees on their recent advancement and congratulations to all Delegatans for a job well done!
