Has anyone in your company taken the time to show your colleagues around the city and metro area? For the last several years, working with colleagues from India, California, and the UK that were on short-term assignments in our suburban Detroit offices, I've taken them on tours lasting from 3 to 10 hours, depending on the day and availability, on my own time, to share some of Detroit's historic and cultural treasures with them. All have enjoyed their experiences and some have asked for follow-up tours on subsequent stays.
I can't imagine being sent to a place where I'm holed up in a hotel room with little or no access to transportation when not working in the office. With mostly malls to visit in Novi, who wouldn't think little of the area?
