As a person who is passionate about giving back to our world, I am always looking for meaningful ways to support socially responsible organizations and the individuals they benefit. Last week, a group of us from Anderson Performance Improvement experienced an afternoon at Feed My Starving Children (FMSC).
Feed My Starving Children is a non-profit Christian organization committed to feeding starving children around the globe. The success of the organization is due to its fun and easy approach; school-aged children and adults pack meals formulated by food scientists for starving children. Once the meals are packed, they’re sealed, boxed and stacked on pallets ready for shipment.
FMSC sends meals all over the world, including El Salvador, Haiti, and Nicaragua, to name just a few. We learned how our 2 hours of effort can change the lives of hundreds of children. At the end of the day, we were able to feed 33 children for one full year! It was truly an amazing experience.
What is your organization doing to support social responsible initiates? Please let me about.
Anderson Performance Improvement leading the way with great things as always. Congratulations Louise and everyone. I miss you folks and often wonder how things are going – especially when driving south on highway 61. David
Dave,
I wanted to get back to you on your request on how to recognize small teams of people.
Provide regular thank you’s that are specific to what the individual or team did to recieve the special recognition. If you can allow them to accumulate their Dave Bucks or whatever name you want to put on them, you will encourage goal setting and start to focus your entire team on what is most important.
The best part is you start to get everyone looking at what is working and how to improve on those things that are not. See if you can get other managers to join in to recognize your team mates by giving then specific feedback or even where they let you know what a great job they did so you can hand out the recognition and mini team meetings. You can create the WOW factor.
