A couple of days ago, my store had a visit from the Senior Vice President of our company. Prior to this visit, all of our associates busted their rear ends preparing for it: some of them were called in solely for the purpose of straightening while others focused on ensuring that the sales floor was set to standards. Overall, the visit went very well: the SVP remarked that the associates were performing their job functions in an exceptional manner and that the store was very neat and organized.
That said, today I was the manager on duty, and I decided to buy the entire store pizza for their efforts: I wanted them to know that their hard work is appreciated and that I care; IMO, if workers feel that their leaders care about them, then that will help motivate them to care about their jobs, which will ultimately benefit the store and the organization.
Well, I'm not sure if the associates got my intended message; however, regardless of what they may think of my actions today, I hope they realize that their efforts did not go unnoticed and that their actions as a team are valued and appreciated by me. KS out.
So odd question, but do you work in the paint/coatings industry? We just went through this in my company around the same time.
