“Companies are wise to jump on the Cubs excitement, said Andrew Challenger, vice president of Chicago-based outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas.

‘It gets people from different departments who don’t normally connect with each other to connect on something besides the daily business item, and that’s incredibly valuable,’ Challenger said.
