FinTech leader 100GROUP hosts 2nd annual retreat focused on team building and innovation
MOORPARK, Calif., July 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — 100GROUP, a leader in credit card processing and software, proudly hosted its second annual corporate retreat July 13-17, bringing together employees from its various brands and offices, including 100GROUP’s California and Michigan offices, Kennel Connection, ReCo Anywhere, EZ SecurePay, Hello-Groom, and PawLoyalty. The retreat took place in Westlake Village, CA, near the company’s headquarters in Moorpark, the hometown of 100GROUP CEO Jeff Brodsly.
Employees came from all over the world to attend the five-day retreat themed “Embrace Yourself and Your Circle.” The event combined team-building activities, enlightening presentations, and fun events to foster personal and professional growth.
“This retreat has been an incredible opportunity for our team to come together, share knowledge and strengthen our bonds,” said Jeff Brodsly, CEO of 100GROUP. “We believe that by taking care of ourselves and ensuring our individual needs are met, we can better serve our clients and continue to provide luxury VIP customer service.”
The agenda included presentations on maximizing success, strategic growth, operational excellence, digital innovation, and financial insights. Brodsly also invited his personal financial advisor to offer a session on personal financial planning, providing this ongoing service to employees at no cost as part of 100GROUP’s employee benefits.
Participants took part in group life coaching sessions focused on improving employee happiness and work-life balance, led by Heather McKay Novak of 180°BEING. Departmental feedback sessions encouraged open and honest communication, with prizes awarded for the best constructive criticism. “Setting the tone and encouraging open conversations is key,” Brodsly said. “We can’t fix what we don’t know is broken.”
The retreat also included visits to 100GROUP’s newly renovated corporate headquarters and the historic High Street at Moorpark, highlighting Brodsly’s revitalization efforts. Brodsly announced four promotions: Rick Brodsly to Senior VP of Client Success, Sarah McKee to Senior VP of Brand Management, Talia Hession to Senior VP of Payment Processing, and Andy Amena to Senior VP of Development. Brodsly believes in internal promotion and believes that rewarding and recognizing employees for their hard work is essential to maintaining a motivated and dedicated team.
A highlight of the retreat was the presence of Erik Nicholson, Senior Vice President of Partner Development at Fiserv, who traveled from Atlanta to engage and recognize 100GROUP. Erik noted, “Jeff has significantly grown his business with us, leveraging our platform and tools. He is one of our fastest growing and most highly integrated partners, with one of the brightest futures.”
The prestige of the retirement was further enhanced by Brodsly’s recognition for his contributions. Ventura County Supervisor Janice Parvin, who served as Moorpark’s mayor for 14 years, recognized Brodsly for his community and philanthropic efforts, stating, “Jeff Brodsly has been an outstanding member of our community for many, many years. His commitment and outstanding contributions to the community through his entrepreneurial spirit, hard work, passion and dedication to others do not go unnoticed.” Additionally, Axion Communications honored Brodsly for his “strategic vision, unmatched loyalty and unwavering support.”
The success of the retreat was largely due to the meticulous planning and organization of Sarah McKee, newly promoted Senior VP of Brand Management, and Kacy Waxman, Executive Assistant to the CEO. Their dedication and hard work ensured that the event ran smoothly and was a valuable and memorable experience for all attendees.
“This retreat wasn’t just about business; it was about embracing our unique strengths and supporting each other as a team. By fostering a culture of positivity and encouragement, we can achieve great things together, both personally and professionally,” Brodsly said.
