Happy Valentine’s Day! This is the day we spend a little time recognizing the importance of special people in our personal lives. Traditionally, we’ve recognized spouses, family and close friends on Valentine’s Day.
I think we should also use Valentine’s Day to thank the other special people in our lives – the ones we spend 8 or more hours with, 5 or more days a week – our coworkers.
Labor Day celebrates our co-workers’ efforts. Let’s use Valentine’s Day to celebrate their importance to the quality of our work lives. If you are like me, you have several people you work with who contribute to your enjoyment of your job. Today’s the day to tell them.
Try something like this – Frank, I just wanted to tell you that your constantly “up” attitude, the smile on your face, your nurturing spirit toward me and others helps make this a great place to work. I just wanted you to know that I appreciate it very much.
Please find at least one person you work with and thank today.
