The Cure for the Daily Blues: A Good Corporate Culture

Posted on September 12, 2011 by lstudwell

We all have good days – and we all have bad days. Sometimes everything our way and sometimes everything just plain goes wrong. So    how do you beat those days where nothing seems to be going right? The key is to work for a company where there is a solid corporate culture that fosters good employee relations – one where you can laugh and share successes… and cry a little if you need to! Fun is one of those things that constantly runs through our minds – so why not have that at work too?

One way we beat the blues is through weekly and monthly team outings or internal employee events. We have hosted everything from ‘Breakfast in Your PJs’ to a ‘Cinco de Mayo’ party… It’s an outlet we use to get to know each other better and build better relationships so we can enjoy our days and survive the ones that are a little more challenging. We talk about new restaurants we’ve been to or the favorite places that everyone “MUST go to.” Our days are practically planned by when we are going to get together next. By 9:30am, the menus come out and plans for lunch are made.

Recently, we celebrated our 20th Anniversary at El Jardin in Glenview – we shared a lot of great stories from the past 20 years and celebrated our successes. Every single employee showed up for the event – something that rarely happens at corporate functions. And it is all a product of just building that good corporate culture – with everyone wanting to come to work each and every day.

The next party in the line-up is a ‘Back-to-School Homemade Soup and Grilled Cheese’ lunch. Hope everyone is hungry!
