The Walk-a-Mile program is based on the old adage, "Before you judge someone, walk a mile in his or her shoes." The program gives employees ("walkers") the opportunity to spend a few hours watching and interacting with an employee ("host") from another department. Seeing, firsthand, how other departments operate is often eye-opening, and always educational. You may even learn more efficient ways to work—as an individual, or as part of a team—that you can share with your own department.
