Happy St. Patrick's Day

Saturday March 17, 2007
Traditions are important in companies just as they are in families. And, nothing is more important than the annual traditions work places establish around the celebration of seasonal holidays. A holiday celebration builds positive morale that results in increased employee motivation. High morale and motivation contribute to team building and productivity. Productive teams are responsible for the success of your organization. Here are holiday celebration ideas for your work place.

Today is St. Patrick's Day and Easter is on the way. One company I know serves corned beef and cabbage to its entire staff; cooked by the employees, it is an annual feast much looked forward to and appreciated. Another company I know holds an annual Easter egg hunt for employees' children. Get creative with holidays to build staff morale.
