I love great experiences. Here is one from today. Today I had flowers delivered by urbanstems.com. I had a question about my order and wanted something changed. I got a response from the Happiness Team. I thought the name was kind of corny. Happiness Team? Maybe I trend toward curmudgeon, move over Jack Lemon. But I have to admit, the experience was very different than what I have had interacting with a "customer service team". They were quick and responsive to my request. They followed up to let me know it was taken care of. Given that where I was sending the flowers was across the country and I had no idea when or if it was delivered, I loved getting another message from my Happiness Team representative that the flowers were out for delivery and I could actually see the progress of the delivery. The best part was the email I received with the photo indicating it had been delivered. The service was: 1. Easy to use 2. Simple to get answers I needed 3. Super pleasant and authentic in responses 4. And they followed up so I didn't have to think about it. What a great example of what to strive for in serving clients, customers, patients, or each other. Oh, and yes, I did feel happier. Thank you Happiness Team #5starservice #exceedingexpectations #privatepractice

Fall is a wonderful time to refocus and set goals; it’s hard-wired in many people that back-to-school time is a perfect time to reset. We all loved some new school supplies: a trendy backpack or a box full of brand-new pencils and highlighters. Adults like fall gifts, too! No need for extravagance, but — let’s be honest — a little present when it’s not a holiday or birthday provides a pick-me-up for most people. As part of your employee appreciation efforts, do you ever give a small gift for a job well done? Here are some seasonal ideas for applicable fall gifts that just may make someone’s day a little brighter.

🐶 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗗𝗼𝗴𝘀 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆 🐶 If you are wondering how to approach the subject of dogs at the office or worried that the rules to follow will be complicated, I assure you, it’s easier than you think! Make it simple, clear and easy to follow. To make dogs, employees, and the Workplace Team happy, we set a few simple rules for dog owners, based on common sense. So far, it works for us. 🔸 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝘂𝘀 (𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀) 𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲: Notify us of your intention to bring your dog, including the date. We have a dedicated Slack channel for such announcements, called "happiness managers". 🔸 𝗟𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗼𝗴𝘀: We allow a maximum of 2 dogs in the office at the same time (this does not apply to service dogs). This way, it’s easy to keep track of our visitors, and any possible damage. 🔸 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀: The kitchen and dining areas are off-limits for pets. We respect that not all employees are dog-friendly. 🔸 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: Do not leave your dog unattended. You are responsible for your pet, so keep an eye on it, ensure your dog is well-trained for the office environment, and make sure it feels comfortable. We appreciate all our colleague dog-owner for following the policy, however, we provide warnings to owners who do not comply with the rules. #dogfriendlyoffice #officepolicy

A water bowl outside might say, “We like dogs”—but often, it’s empty, stale or dirty. This is virtue signaling, not a real solution. Pets are still left outside, and their owners shop or dine with one eye on their dog—or on the clock—worrying. Now, imagine offering something better: a PetParker station right by your entrance. Safe, comfortable, and secure, it’s the amenity that shows you truly care about your customers and their pets. ❤️🐶 Move beyond gestures and position your location as a true pet-friendly destination. Show your commitment with the PetParker experience. #customerexperience #customerloyalty #retail #hospitality #petsafety

Looking for new, fun places to take your dog? Here are five dog-friendly outing ideas where you can bond with your pup while exploring together: Pet-Friendly Bookstores Some independent bookstores or national chains allow well-behaved dogs to browse with you. It’s a great way to socialize your dog in a quiet, calm environment while you pick out your next read. Home Improvement Stores Large home improvement stores like Lowe’s or Home Depot often welcome leashed dogs. It’s a fantastic environment to practice leash manners and expose your dog to new sights, smells, and sounds. Pet-Friendly Cafés or Coffee Shops Many cafés, especially those with outdoor seating, allow dogs to join you while you enjoy a coffee or snack. It’s a nice way to relax together and people-watch, all while working on your dog’s socialization in a low-key environment. Outdoor Shopping Centers Dog-friendly shopping centers are perfect for a leisurely stroll. Many stores even offer treats for your dog as you browse. This outing helps your dog adjust to busier environments while getting some exercise. Dog-Friendly Breweries or Wineries Breweries and wineries with outdoor spaces often welcome dogs. They’re usually laid-back environments where you can enjoy a drink while your dog soaks in the scenery and socializes. Next time you’re looking for an outing with your dog, try one of these locations to enrich their day while you check off some errands or relax. It’s all about bonding and making fun memories together!
