OneDay 2024: Maintaining the Momentum of Innovation
Elevating Louisiana through autonomy, creativity, and purpose
LWCC is Louisiana Loyal, leading a movement to celebrate and elevate Louisiana. That movement starts within our own walls, and drives us to think creatively about how to put our core values into action. LWCC’s OneDay initiative does just that. By inviting employees to spend 24 hours – one day – working in collaborative teams on projects designed to elevate the state, we engage our employees in the important work of ensuring a brighter future for Louisiana.
THE WHY BEHIND THE INITIATIVE
People often daydream about what they want to accomplish one day.
So, what if we gave them one day? One day to turn a dream into a pitch presentation. Inspired by Daniel Pink’s book Drive, LWCC’s 24-hour OneDay event challenges team members to celebrate and elevate Louisiana through innovative and collective problem solving.
WHAT MAKES A ONEDAY?
Elevating Louisiana
Participants are tasked with one objective: make Louisiana a better place to work and live.
Creative Autonomy
Teams are given free rein to take the project in their desired direction.
Uninterrupted Innovation
Participants are allowed and encouraged to pause their daily work for 24 hours and dedicate to the process.
Purpose Driven
Because making a difference is about more people coming together to do the right thing.

"I had such an amazing experience participating in OneDay! I enjoyed collaborating with LWCC employees from other divisions who I often do not see every day. Having all of those unique perspectives really did enhance the quality of our idea and presentation. Although we did not win, I think we all gained something just as meaningful, a great bond and working relationship that I hope continues on beyond this project."

"OneDay was an absolutely incredible experience and was somehow both terrifying and exhilarating at the same time. Seeing everyone come together with focus and passion made this event the most fun I have ever had at work. Being able to win the Judges' Choice Award for our efforts was the perfect bow on what was already an amazing gift of an event.”
"I really enjoyed our OneDay project. It gave us time to concentrate on something a little bit different. There are lots of good ideas floating around but finding the time in the hurry of regular day to day activities is not always easy. I appreciate that LWCC is always looking for new and better ways to accomplish our mission."

"OneDay was one of the greatest experiences within my 10 years at LWCC! Sure, it was a way to be innovative; but, the best part was working with other employees I wouldn't normally who bring so many different skills and talents to deliver an idea or concept. I am truly grateful to work for a company that allowed us to experience an event like this. It motivated me to use things I learned from that experience to make our department better!"
"OneDay was an incredible experience for me as a new employee. It was a great way to connect and interact with coworkers from departments that I wouldn't have as much regular exposure to; and also a great way to be immersed in the Louisiana Loyal movement, while having an opportunity to put into practice all of our core values at LWCC."
