Congrats to Dan Eberle on winning the University Staff Recognition Award!
The ceremony was today, where all ten winners were recognized and gave a short talk about themselves and those in their team. Dan gave a humorous speech about delivering his own reward to the Office of University Staff (since it was produced here at DPPS originally) before they, in turn, delivered it to him at this ceremony.
Also impressive was another award winner’s speech, where she said “Make sure to share your appreciation with others. Many times, we do the work and don’t think anyone notices. Tell them!” I really appreciated this message, because everyone deserves positive encouragement for the work they do. So often we don’t go the extra mile to point out their contributions to a company’s efforts.
So tell them! Tell your employees how much they mean to the team. Tell your family how they are unique and special. You never know how much they need to hear it!
