September 2010 Link Article: Do You Let People Know You Appreciate Them? I work for a Construction Consulting Company! We are in an office with over 150 Engineers and only 5 Administrative Assistants. I am one of them. I just read all the posts and I agree that when you work with people who can take a few minutes to say “Good Morning” or have a laugh, it makes coming to work a whole lot better. I recently lost a boss to downsizing and I believe she left to save one of our jobs. She was so outgoing and she made work fun. We went into a meeting one day and she started throwing silly putty at all of us. I know it's not real professional but it made us all laugh and broke a lot of tension. She told us to keep the silly putty and whenever we got a little stressed, take it out and play with it a little. And you know what, it works! Some people take business too seriously. You spend most of your waking hours with these people and if you can't have a little fun, your life is going to be miserable! Submitted by Terry
Great ideas. I have one to share: each year, on my employees’ anniversaries, I give them a small gift-wrapped token, such as a paperweight or a letter opener. More importantly, I attach a handwritten note acknowledging how many years they have been with me and how much I appreciate them supporting me for one more year. Submitted by Barbara We had a lady in our office who would come to work with two different earrings on, two different shoes with the same color or not, wear her skirt backwards, and every time she left the building she would leave her glasses on her desk. Needless to say, she never left the building just once for a trip. She was so funny, but was one of the most intelligent and kind people I knew. A lot of creative people are like that and, boy, was she creative. She made us laugh and laughed with us. Submitted by Deb |
