Thanking Those Who Help You Make a Difference in Your Community

This is the time of year we often think about giving thanks and giving back.  Whether it is participating in a food drive, adopting a local school, paddling on a dragon boat team, forming a team for the annual Heart Walk or Making Strides Against Cancer, or some other community event or initiative, chances are your employees play a big part in helping your organization give back.  Have you thanked them?  Once the event is over, take a moment to craft a warm thank-you message recognizing your team. Post it on your Web page, in your employee lunch room and even in your restrooms.  Let them know they are important to their community as well as to you and each other.
