The holiday season gives us many things to celebrate - family, faith, and the completion of another year. I believe that celebrations need to happen more often than they do.
How often do you take the time to celebrate at your place of work?
If companies spent half the time they waste on focusing on what does not work and put it towards celebrating what does work, they could see a huge impact on their bottom line.
I know of companies that are finishing their best year ever. They hand out bonuses, say thank you , and in a blink of an eye they are scrutinizing and complaining about individuals, departments, and the woes of the company.
This type of behavior permeates the business world today and is one of the reasons that 38% of the workforce is disengaged. Disengaged workers suck the profits out of companies.
I encourage you to sit down and create a list of what your company does well. Then take that list and devise a plan that reinforces the items on your list. In that plan include time for celebration - we only have one life to live!
