The Ripple Effect: How Small Acts of Courtesy Foster Big Business Benefits. In today's competitive landscape, fostering a positive work environment and strong client relationships is crucial for sustainable success. One often overlooked strategy to achieve this is the power of small acts of courtesy. Courtesy cultivates a ripple effect throughout your organization. Employees treated with respect and appreciation are demonstrably more engaged and productive. This translates directly to enhanced customer service, the cornerstone of building loyalty and advocacy. Creating positive interactions through genuine acts of consideration fosters trust and inspires word-of-mouth marketing, the most powerful form of advertising. Courtesy in Action: Employee Recognition: To build a culture of appreciation, it's important to recognize and celebrate achievements. Client Appreciation: One way to show appreciation is to write personalized thank-you notes or offer unexpected upgrades. This simple gesture can go a long way toward expressing gratitude toward others. Community Engagement: Partner with local charities or offer discounts to veterans and students to boost your reputation and attract new customers. Let's discuss how this can benefit your business. Let's create a culture of courtesy in the workplace! In the comments below, share how courtesy has positively impacted your company. 📢 #professionalcourtesy #businessgrowth

How prepared is your team for 2024 and the road ahead? After the summer holidays, clearing the cobwebs and getting your team limbered up to hit the ground running is an important first step for the new year.    One way to fire your team up for the year ahead is by kicking off with a team building event. This is particularly important after the frenetic year end that many people experienced last year. And for those companies or departments that simply didn’t have the time or budget to enjoy end of year team event before Christmas, then there is an even greater need to reconnect your team by strengthening and deepening personal bonds.   In our experience, one powerful way to do this is to focus your team on a common interest that has greater significance than themselves. This serves to excite and mobilise them and effectively ignite the team engine. This in turn will set the tone and platform to build start to build the momentum needed to tackle the challenges your people will invariably face ahead. It’s all about investing the time in your team now to deepen their reserves and resilience.   Our sessions deliver just such a higher purpose as your people will learn about and from one of our charity partners and the incredible work they do and impact they have in our communities. Your people will also collaborate as a team in fun activities and challenges to deliver something meaningful that has a direct benefit to the people and communities they support.    Your team will leave the session feeling inspired about what is possible and have a shared sense of a higher purpose to fuel their team spirit. So let us help you kick off 2024 with purpose! #teambuilding #teambuildingwithpurpose #corporatevolunteering Claire Jenny #teambuildingactivity #teambuildingevent #teambonding Alana Jill Andrea Emma Ian Jackie Jasmine John Jonathan Kathy Kim Lesley Lorissa Lyndsay Michael Sally Tamera Trudi #teambuildingevents #teamculture

As a small business owner, providing competitive salaries is not always sufficient to motivate your staff. It is crucial to implement effective appraisal methods, as rightly pointed out by Page Hinerman. Some other appraisal methods include: 1. Performance-based bonuses: Offering bonuses or incentives for outstanding performance can be a significant motivator for employees. 2. Regular performance evaluations: Regular evaluations help employees understand their strengths and weaknesses, allowing for targeted development and recognition of achievements. 3. Promotion opportunities: Providing clear paths for advancement within the organization can motivate employees to perform at their best. 4. Recognition programs: Acknowledging employee achievements through awards, certificates, or public praise can boost morale and encourage continued dedication. These appraisal methods are not only beneficial for nonprofit organizations but are also applicable to for-profit organizations. They contribute to team morale and ensure employee dedication to the success of the organization.

The average person spends 90,000 hours at work over a lifetime. That is why colleagues are such an important part of our social connection and sense of belonging... And yet, when we become ill, or have a serious accident, or when a loved one dies suddenly - we tend to be cut off from this support network. As a colleague, it can be hard to know what to do in these situations. The 'relationship rules' are not always as clear as 'friends' or 'family' - and so the person doing it tough is often left to cope without their support. That is why we were so thrilled to hear about how Debbie's workplace responded when her husband died suddenly last year... This month Debbie shared her story of how her colleagues at the school where she works as a cleaner used the Gather My Crew app to create a support crew that provided her with small acts of kindness during the early weeks of her grief. Groceries and meals just turned up at her door - and they even organised donations to help the family get through. Just another example of how Gather My Crew helps people to help others... Please think of us next time one of your colleagues is going through a tough time. And if you work in HR - reach out so we can talk with you about how we can support your team during tough times. If you want some of our posters or flyers for your work lunchroom so your workplace can be like Debbie's - let us know and we will send you one of our resource packs.

How informed are you when it comes to gift-giving in a business setting? Start by familiarizing yourself with your company's policies on gift limits. This will help you stay within acceptable boundaries and maintain professionalism. Remember, the timing and appropriateness of the gift are key. Avoid gifts that could be perceived as favors. Instead, opt for humble gestures that show gratitude without expectations and respect the professional relationships you have. There are various ways to show appreciation, both tangible and intangible. Sometimes, a simple verbal or written thank you can be the perfect touch. Tips for navigating business gift-giving: ·      A gesture can be a gift when offered as a special celebration or an appreciation meal. For example, if you just received a massive order from a client and want to thank him for that order, celebrate with a meal that includes a special toast. ·      A gift as a token of appreciation. Dedicate time to a project, support a charity, or express verbal or written thanks. These gestures can be equally impactful and respectful. ·      Souvenir gifts, such as items that signify a memory or experience shared with the recipient, can be thoughtful tokens of appreciation. Choose items that resonate with the recipient's interests or reflect a meaningful connection. ·      A gift as a souvenir, such as a book by a favorite author or a statue or wall decor signifying a memory of an event or activity. ·      Consider collective gestures of appreciation, such as holiday baskets for teams or group activities. These foster camaraderie and inclusivity while expressing gratitude to the entire group.   Regardless of the type or value of the gift, maintain professionalism in your interactions. Avoid excessive or lavish gifts that may create discomfort or ethical concerns. By following these tips, you can navigate business gift-giving gracefully and professionally, fostering positive relationships and demonstrating appreciation for colleagues, clients, and partners. This approach will make the recipient feel respected and appreciated without undue pressure or obligations.   Chapter 9 shares many ways to gift and offers suggestions: https://bit.ly/3OdnDnT  or visit GloriaPetersen.com  for seminar information. #gifts #giftgiving #giftcompanypolicy #appreciation #thankyou #gratitude #giftpolicy
