You've all seen the videos during Fat Bear Week of big grizzlies up in Alaska feasting on salmon jumping from the depths of a river. This, too, is a bear eating salmon 🐻 🐟 . Although it's not a whole salmon, this salmon is a small piece of a much bigger story. Every week, a very small share of Wild Alaskan Company shipments show up a day or two later than they should've at members' doorsteps. Istead of dry ice and frozen blocks of sustenance, members experience, well, the opposite. A few years back, Carl Minor, who's on the Member Experience team, noticed a problem... and an opportunity. Members were tossing out their delivery that wasn't safe for human consumption. Why not find that thawed fish another home? Carl took the initiative to set up a reference guide, so the WAC Member Experience team could suggest to members a nearby wildlife sanctuary that would accept a seafood donation. Oscar, and many other animals across the country, are now able to feast on WAC seafood, thanks to Carl's initiative. Always empower the team that's closest to the problem to help solve the problem. Do you have any ideas on how we can make this experience even better? Let me know in the comments below. #WildAlaskanCompany #Sustainability #Bears #TeamEmpowerment #ProblemSolving
