Today we had a celebratory lunch at my work. I’ve been in my new position at my new employment for two months. There are so many new names, departments, routines. But there is something that is completely different than any other place I’ve worked. Nobody complains.
I work for a company that makes food for people on the go. Convenience without compromise. And I can be honest when I say that from the prep room to the sandwich apprentice to business development, everyone greets everyone by name and with a smile. We hold doors open for each other and have potluck. We cater in lunch once a month to eat family style. We compliment each other’s work and celebrate daily victories with a dance. And we pray together. Yes, we pray.
It’s like they have this giant secret. A treasure. Something that a large part of the working world knows little about. If you make work fun, smile, have straight talk with lots of positive feedback, and treat your coworkers with respect like they are your own family, then business just might be pretty awesome. Our leadership has such amazing vision and ambition that it’s hard not to want to stay on for the whole ride. Many of the employees have been there over 20 and some up to 40 years. That speaks volumes.
When you value your people, they will value your mission and give back tenfold.
I’m loving the opportunities that are heading my way and grateful to finally have some doors open.
EAS - We will win as one!
