Every employee in every company believes that their job is the hardest at one point in time or another. They also occasionally feel taken for granted and/or under appreciated. Well, there is a cure for this. If your company has an in-house newsletter, consider writing an article in each issue devoted to “A Day in the Life” of one of your employees. Have your newsletter editor spend a day or most of a day following the employee and writing down everything they do.
The article should mention both the normal activities as well as all the unexpected interruptions, questions, assistance, emergencies and other tasks that take the employee away from his/her scheduled duties.
Once the article is published and read by the employee’s co-workers, they will have a greater respect for that employee and all he/she does for the company. It should also make the employee highlighted feel more appreciated and recognized for what they do. Keep writing these articles for as many different positions and employees as possible. It will encourage everyone to have more respect for each other and build camaraderie.
