Not even a cupcake
Mary lamented “Not even a cupcake”
“After eight years of service, you would have thought they could have at least sprung for a cupcake.”
It was Mary’s last day at work. She was leaving feeling that she wasn’t valued or cared for as an employee.
In some organizations, rituals are part of the culture. They might be for occasions such as new team member arrival, departures or retirement, birthdays, promotions, and significant personal events such as a wedding or a baby.
These rituals are celebrations, recognition, and a way to show you care about the employee. These gestures show the human side of an organization. They can help motivate people by making them feel valued.
Oh, and not let’s forget that they are fun.
What rituals do you have in your organization? How do you show employees that they are valued and cared for?
