WHY FOCUS ON RELATIONSHIPS

When’s the last time you and your colleagues gathered together for something other than work?

Healthy relationships are the lifeblood of successful teams and companies. Relationships, like people, need consistent care and feeding to thrive.

Strong relationships and trust among colleagues are integral to your and your team’s health, happiness, performance, and success (whether working at the office or remotely from home). A regular cadence of inclusive and impactful team building activities can foster feelings of connection, inspiration, and engagement within your workplace.

WHAT WE DO

Inclusion Drives Individual & Team Performance

Smith Assembly is a benefit company founded and led by two women of different ages and backgrounds. We help leadership teams build inclusive high-performance cultures. Our workshops feature hands-on activities co-created by innovators from around the world. The cross-cultural consulting services we offer improve the cohesion of your team, inclusivity of your products/services, and impact of your organization. We model a more diverse, inclusive, equitable, and just way to do business.

HOW WE DO IT

Hands-On Activities Open Minds & Hearts

Our team building workshops and other impactful consulting services create an environment that encourages you and your colleagues to engage, open up, and build. Something special happens when you spend time interacting with one another in different ways, especially when you’re also doing something tactile or kinesthetic.

WHY WE’RE DIFFERENT

Shared Experiences Deepen Relationships

Having fun together in immersive activities boosts camaraderie between you and your colleagues and forges bonds across gender, race, ethnicity, age, and org chart. Our radically-inclusive approach is to co-create our offerings with leaders from the underserved communities supported by our donations. We feature those global innovators, showcase a wide variety of cross-cultural collaboration practices, and share stories about how grassroots innovation enables sustainable development around the world.
