Director at Penna PLC

In reading my many work anniversary congratulations after 13 years here at Penna 3 things came to mind: 1. Where do the years go? Whilst we've packed a lot into the last 13 years, it has flown by, so I must be having fun! 2. We should celebrate years of service more fully. Without LinkedIn reminding me, the date would have just passed by. 3. Anniversaries make you think. Do I still love what I do, what have I achieved? Luckily on both I was able to reflect positively. Perhaps worth employers considering how they celebrate service for employees as a key retention tool, as negative answers to my Q2 could lead to employees making a call to a recruiter, like me! Thanks everyone for your good wishes, here's to Year 14 Penna our 50th year.

Years of service (as opposed to time served) should indeed be celebrated when they impact positively on our citizens. Whether it’s retention in an organisation, place or sector, valuing people for their contribution, commitment and impact is part of what public service/serving the public is all about.

Congratulations Julie - wow 13 years! We look forward to building an even stronger partnership with you and Penna over the years to come. Enjoy your anniversary 😊

Julie, Every time I met you, you were full of enthusiasm and energy whilst actively listening to those around you, making them feel included and valued. This I believe is then reflected back and can make it more enjoyable at work and work events. May your positive reflection continue! Stephen
