Today we celebrated two team members 10 year anniversaries. In today's dynamic business landscape, where change is constant and innovation drives progress, it's easy to get caught up in the allure of rapid turnover and constant churn. However, amidst the whirlwind of new hires and fresh perspectives, there lies a hidden gem that often goes unnoticed: tenure. Tenure within a company is not merely a measure of how long an employee has been with an organization; it's a testament to loyalty, dedication, and a deep-rooted commitment to the company's mission and values. While the trend of job hopping may seem appealing on the surface, it's crucial to recognize the immense value that long-serving employees bring to the table. Let's raise a toast to the tenured employees who continue to shape and enrich our organizations every day. Your contributions do not go unnoticed, and we are grateful for the unwavering dedication and commitment you bring to the table. Here's to many more years of shared success and continued growth together!

This month, we celebrate a whole crew of amazing associates who've dedicated their skills to making Clark Schaefer Strategic HR the powerhouse it is. 💙 Donata Lipps, HR Business Advisor, is celebrating her third year with Clark Schaefer Strategic HR! Q: What makes your work day exciting? A: I love working with all my co-workers, and each day brings a new opportunity to grow and learn. Q: What could you give a 30-minute presentation about with no advance preparation? A: Pickleball, cornhole, or raising chickens. Q: What's one thing you've learned from your coworkers that you're grateful for? A: I’ve learned that it's possible to work hard AND play hard. Being part of a team that is dedicated to achieving our goals while also taking time to celebrate successes, whether big or small, has been truly rewarding. Q: When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? A: A professional dog walker… or any type of pro athlete. Q: How many different states have you lived in? A: With the biggest cup of coffee imaginable. Q: What’s your favorite inspirational quote? A: “Choose to be kind over being right, and you’ll be right every time.” — Richard Carlson, author of "Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff — and It’s All Small Stuff" Q: How do you wind down after work? A: Taking a moment in my driveway before entering the house to reflect on both the positives and negatives of the day. I believe it's important to celebrate even the smallest victories and to also allow myself time to process any negatives and find ways to learn from them. This helps me prevent the negatives from lingering into the next day. Also, any day that I can go play Pickleball after work is a huge plus in my book! Q: What job would you be terrible at? A: Anything that involves public speaking. A special thanks to those who opted out of being featured on social media for their work anniversary but are an incredible part of our crew: Gilbert Obeng (2 years), Anne England (2 years), and Zeina Kowalski (2 years). #WorkAnniversary #EmployeeRecognition #HappyAnniversary

As we celebrate the first anniversaries of our founding leadership team at Murrieta Hot Springs Resort, we reflect on the foundation they’ve laid. Each associate who’s been with us now proudly wears a water drop on their nametag, symbolizing their dedication to our shared mission: “Caring for the Enhanced Vitality of All.” But what does it truly mean to care? Care is not just a feeling, but an active commitment—nurturing connections, showing empathy, and fostering growth in the well-being of others. It’s about the people we influence, whether it’s our teams, communities, families, or even ourselves. Genuine care is comprehensive. Think about the times you’ve felt truly fulfilled—those moments of well-being remind us that personal and professional growth are inseparable. To enhance vitality is to embrace continuous improvement, striving for excellence both personally and collectively. At Murrieta, we live our purpose by actively engaging in our mission, sharing knowledge, and working towards meaningful contributions. Our understanding of “All” extends beyond just our team—it includes our community, families, and ourselves. Everyone’s well-being is vital to the health of the whole. We foster a shame-free culture, recognizing that life has its ups and downs. Here, resilience and authenticity are valued, creating an environment where growth and connection flourish. “Caring for the Enhanced Vitality of All” is more than a motto—it’s a call to action. Join us in this journey, where care, enhancement, and well-being create a truly fulfilling professional experience for everyone.

At First 4 Recruitment Ltd we believe that recognising our candidates is more than just a formality—it’s a crucial part of fostering a positive and productive workplace culture. Acknowledging the hard work and achievements of our team members not only boosts their morale but also reinforces their commitment and motivation. When individuals feel valued and appreciated, it enhances their job satisfaction and drives them to perform at their best. Our commitment to recognizing and celebrating our employees is a cornerstone of our approach. By consistently highlighting their contributions and successes, we create an environment where everyone feels empowered and engaged. In turn, this recognition doesn’t just benefit individuals; it elevates the entire team. A motivated and appreciated team is more cohesive, innovative, and dedicated to achieving collective goals. At First 4 Recruitment Ltd we’re dedicated to boosting employee morale through meaningful recognition. We understand that a positive workplace is the foundation of success, and we’re proud to celebrate the outstanding efforts of our team members who make our achievements possible.

Now that RPM Office Appreciation Week 2024 has come to an end and I put this collage together, it makes me smile ... Seeing my team's excitement and anticipation for what each day offers, it's motivating and inspiring! We are encouraged and expected by our employer to take some time to celebrate our hard work and accomplishments together as a team! Stopping to have lunch together and play silly games or receiving our favorite coffee or taco... It's not about the smoothie or the pizza, it's the thoughts that are put into the week that count. It's about feeling the appreciation for all that your team does, and most importantly to me - it's about watching how those little things can help build morale and positivity amongst the office team - which spreads on to the maintenance team, residents, vendors, and ultimately into their personal lives! .... Wow Thank you RPM for acknowledging the front line and allowing us the time to celebrate our wins with each other! Showing your appreciation was a wonderful way to spend our work week! It added more value than may be known! I am beyond proud of the office team we have! I am grateful to work for a company that allows me to build my team based on our vision and goals for the property. Hiring people smarter than me is always helpful! 😁 They are success and results driven and have done great things over the past 90 days! I am proud and grateful for them everyday! As leaders, we are only as great and ultimately successful as our team we hire and invest in! We strive to hire the best and want to keep them happy and motivated! I acknowledge them often! They are recognized for their wins and supported by us as Community Managers, but it's amazing to watch how much positivity and value it brings to an onsite team member when they are recognized from our upper leadership! To all my Corporate leaders, remember how powerful your "good job" can be for our onsite staff! It's incredible the difference y'all can make! So the next time you reply to an email recognizing a small or big win or to say thank you, please try to include the team or the team member who helped contribute to the win! It'll leave a lasting impression on them about you and the company they work for! #officeappreciationweek #RPMliving #werekindaabigdeal #gratitude
