User Scenario: The Pack Shack

Name: Allison Jones

Age: 36

Occupation: HR Professional at Wells Fargo

Lives in: Phoenix, AZ

Education Level: BA in Management

Allison was tasked with looking for team building exercises for her office to do together in a few months. Wells Fargo employees in her office generally get along together well, but don’t have many personal relationships with each other. She likes her job, but working for a bank can be dry and repetitive so she is hoping to find something lighthearted and fun that allows people who usually don’t work together to get a chance to interact together. She finds The Pack Shack and loves the idea that a day of team building can also serve a greater purpose of reducing food insecurity. She needs to pitch the idea to her boss and needs proof that it will in fact accomplish the goal of bringing teams in the office closer together and be a factor in helping the company’s retention rates.
