When Your Company Strikes Gold and You Get... Pizza? 🍕💰 Alright, gather 'round for a tale of two companies! Company A (let's call them "Dough-verload Inc.") just had a record-breaking quarter.  The CEO's grinning like he won the lottery, and the shareholders are doing backflips.  So how do they thank their hardworking team? drumroll With a pizza party! 🎉 Now, don't get me wrong.  I love a good slice as much as the next person.  But when the company's swimming in cash, and you're drowning in pepperoni, something doesn't quite add up! 🤔 Meanwhile, in the land of "We Actually Appreciate Our Employees": 1. Google once surprised their staff with $1000 cash bonuses and 10% raises across the board.  Talk about a "Google search" worth doing! 💻💰 2. Airbnb gives employees an annual $2000 travel stipend.  "Sorry, can't come to the meeting, I'm busy appreciating my job from a beach in Bali." 🏖️ 3. Tesla has been known to reward top performers with actual Tesla cars.  I guess "employee of the month" parking spot just doesn't cut it anymore! 🚗 4. Amazon offers to pay 95% of tuition for employees to train for in-demand jobs.  Because nothing says "thanks" like investing in someone's future (and potentially creating your own competition). 📚 5. Twitter (pre-Elon era) once gifted custom-made Tiffany & Co. glass bird ornaments to all employees.  Because nothing says "we value you" like breakable tchotchkes, right? 🐦 As the great Richard Branson once said, "Clients do not come first. Employees come first.  If you take care of your employees, they will take care of the clients." Now, I'm not saying we all need to start handing out luxury cars (though I wouldn't complain).  But maybe, just maybe, when the company hits the jackpot, the celebration could involve more than just extra cheese. So, what's your take?  Are you team "pizza party" or team "thanks-a-million"?  Share your most memorable (or hilariously disappointing) work appreciation story in the comments! #EmployeeAppreciation #CorporateCulture #WorkplaceHumor #GennadiyVaksman #GV #MrG #Gennadiy ------------------------------ ✅️ I share content that I find unique, inventive, and distinctively cool.  ✅️ Follow me for more updates: Gennadiy Vaksman ✅️ Stay tuned for my latest content by ringing the bell icon (🔔) at the top right corner of my profile. ------------------------------

Rewarding the team can be done in a variety of ways, bonuses, commissions, an annual reward for results - many companies do it in different ways. One way that is often overlooked, but has a variety of benefits is corporate hospitality. Building a Culture of recognition, recognising your teams productive behaviour with a party or event drives growth, recognition and rewards are not only nice gestures, but also powerful tools for boosting your team's morale, performance, and retention. When you acknowledge and celebrate your team's contributions, you show them that you value their efforts, respect their skills, and care about their well-being. You also create a positive and supportive work culture that fosters trust, collaboration, and loyalty. Recognition and rewards can also help your team overcome challenges, learn from feedback, and strive for excellence. Take a look at some examples of how Global Event Management has done this for our clients for 20 years! #Hospitality #Reward #Recogtnise #value https://lnkd.in/eFFUaHJt

As they say picture speaks a thousand word..it is already articulating everything but would like to add some of my thoughts on this topic.. *Fair Share: Time to Rethink Profit Distribution* As we celebrate corporate successes and soaring profits, let's take a hard look at the elephant in the room: *Why aren't hardworking employees sharing in the wealth?* When companies rake in billions, but employees struggle to make ends meet, something's amiss. It's time to question the status quo and prioritize fairness. *The Issue:* - Record profits, but stagnant wages - Lavish executive compensation, but meager employee benefits - Disproportionate wealth distribution, fueling income inequality *The Solution:* - Transparent profit sharing models - Performance-based bonuses for all employees - Fair compensation and benefits packages - Investing in employee development and growth *Let's Break the Silence:* It's time for corporate leaders to recognize the value of their employees' hard work and dedication. Share your thoughts: How do you think companies can better share profits with employees? What benefits or incentives would you like to see? *Let's spark a conversation that drives change!* #FairShare #ProfitDistribution #EmployeeBenefits #CorporateSocialResponsibility #IncomeInequality #Leadership

What a common strategy, I hope one day some employers will realise how important is human power and capital. They need to realise that many destiny depend on those force that are driving the company's growth, the more you keep them happy the higher profit you make through their hard work.

Not the way at all

Thank you Talal Al Murad. What an apt example of 'corporate thuggery, toxic mindsets and a paralyzed workforce; sadly prevalent across many businesses and entities. This visual highlights the urgent need for a shift in corporate culture to foster healthier, more productive environments. It is imperative that educational institutions take note and incorporate these lessons into their curricula, preparing students not just with academic knowledge, but with the resilience and ethical grounding to transform future workplaces. 👠 #essentialskills #peoplematter #authenticleadership

Thank you for the journey my dear friends This month, after 40 years in the Hi-Tech Industry and working for four of the largest companies in the world I’m officially retiring . I have no mix feelings, I was working for a long time to get to this day. This industry gave me everything I have, but I also gave back all I had : my commitment, my passion, my youth, the time of my family .. so I believe we are even, I don’t owe anything, nothing is owed to me. It’s time to focus my family in full. To the ones that ever met me, know that you touched my life in some way. I never take a person for granted. If there is one thing that I take with me after these 40 years, is the people I met all over the world. I hope to have had a positive impact on many of you, even knowing that I’m a though person, I always acted in good faith to protect my company, my teams and being fair. I tried to build my career on transparency and honesty but those principles are often not welcomed in highly political organizations. Never allow politics to silence you. I’m proof that you can succeed anyway. If I can pass on a legacy , it could be: never give up to your values, never surrender the right actions to the mediocrity of bureaucracy or to the criticism of others. You can succeed being you, respectfully of course. When you make a mistake, take responsibility, correct course and keep going. Corporate America needs people that can challenge the status quo to succeed. Be that people. I tell you: the day you go, you will face your own judgment. Better do things to be proud of yourself. In 40 years, I was able to drive a lot of innovation to our communities (as you can imagine). People like me, need to leave room for the new generation to deploy the next waves of innovation. I can’t even imagine what they will be able to witness and do in the next 20-30 years. I wish I could be here that long :-) A lot of the future challenges will need extremely courageous leaders. I trust most of the people I knew in my career are or can be those leaders. Be happy, be confident, be transparent, be yourself. You are the ONLY asset any company really has. Make it worth. See you around Gustavo
