Holiday cheer in the office — good for morale.
Good office morale is important for success. In fact, little in the office is more influential to success than the happiness of our employees. Happy workers are more productive and interface with clients more cheerfully and effectively. And the efforts required to cheer up the office are both affordable and invaluable. Here are some things to consider:
1. Attitude flows from the top.
Check in on how you've been feeling about things lately. Your attitude affects those around you more than ...
Ho. Ho. Ho.
Contrary to the popular use of the word "ho" (we won't go there), ho accroding to Webster is "a call to attract attention." It is sometimes used after a word denoting a destination, as in "Westward ho!" or "Land ho!" Santa, of course, uses it as a way to express delight.
So, in the spirit of Santa, let's all travel out of our comfort zones this holiday and wish a happy holiday to someone we either haven't seen or spoken to in a long time or someone we don't know. A neighbor, a person in the checkout line, a person walking to their car. Just stop for a moment and tell them you wish them a very happy holiday. Santa would be proud.
Gift Giving.
As is our tradition each holiday, we've once again made a contribution in honor of our clients and friends to Heifer International for "the Knitters Gift Basket." It includes the gift of a llama, alpaca, sheep and angora rabbit — four animals that provide Heifer partner families around the world with ample wool and endless opportunities to build a better life.
