Over the past several months, the Executive Leadership Team and I have had the opportunity One of the best parts of my job is hearing stories about our employees providing exceptional customer service. In these moments, they demonstrate our entrepreneurial value by focusing on the customer. It’s even more meaningful to me when colleagues take the time to recognize one another by writing an ICARE card celebrating how they live our values.
September offers several opportunities to recognize your fellow employees. First, I’m excited to announce the September ICARE Challenge. This challenge was created in direct response to feedback from our latest Vision surveys, in which many of you shared that you would like more recognition. You can learn more about the challenge in this edition of Good Vibes.
September also includes several observances that give us opportunities to thank colleagues for the important work they do in service to Goodwill and our community:
· Workforce Development Month (September)
· Direct Support Professionals Appreciation Week (September 14–18)
· National Security Officer Appreciation Week (September 20–26)
During these observances, I encourage you to take an extra moment to recognize and thank employees in these areas for their service and impact.
I sincerely appreciate all that each of you does to help people build lives of possibility and purpose!
