🌷🐰 Happy Easter everyone! 🐣🌼 As we celebrate Easter, symbolising rebirth and new beginnings, it’s a good time for reflection on what we've achieved and the possibilities that lie ahead. At Lidl Ireland, we've recently concluded our Talent Management Cycle for 2023-2024, a period dedicated to feedback, recognition, growth, and introspection. Now, as we embark on the new Talent Management Cycle for 2024-2025, it's an ideal moment for each of us to pause, reflect on the feedback received, and establish our objectives for the upcoming year. This presents an opportunity for reinvention, a chance to begin afresh, and a dedicated focus on our goals for the year ahead. Whether it’s mastering new skills, advancing in your career, or achieving personal milestones, I’d love to hear about the aspirations you have for your growth and development this year. 🌟 Also, watch the video below for some tips on setting objectives and achieving success in the year ahead! #Easter #NewBeginnings #TalentManagement #LeadershipDevelopment #SuccessJourney 🌟🌸

As I reflect on the Best Workplace for Millennials certification, I am reminded of the significance of creating an environment where every individual feels valued and empowered. With our employees affirming that Drydocks World is, one of the best workplaces in GCC for millennials, it is clear that the foundation we’ve built is strong. The insights we’ve gained through our employee engagement survey will continue to guide us as we evolve, ensuring that we address opportunities for growth while amplifying our successes.

As a manager, celebrate Labour Day as a way to foster strong bonds within your team. Recognition + Appreciation = Morale boost of members. Here are 5 ways to recognise and appreciate your teams today: 1️⃣ Personalized Thank You Notes ↳ Handwritten notes with acknowledgements of their specific contributions and efforts and expressing gratitude for their hard work can make them feel truly appreciated. 2️⃣ Recognition Awards: ↳ Consider hosting an awards ceremony to publicly recognize exceptional employees for performance, teamwork, and innovation. 3️⃣ Extra Time Off: ↳ Now who wouldn't love this? Offer employees the gift of time by providing them with an extra day off or allowing them to leave work early. 4️⃣ Special Gifts/Treats: ↳ Surprise employees with small tokens of appreciation, such as gift cards, company-branded merchandise, or treats like snacks or desserts. 5️⃣ Team Building Activities: ↳ Plan and celebrate with a team-building picnic, team lunch, or fun outdoor activity to boost team bonding! Wanting the best for your team shouldn't be a one-day thing. Let's celebrate hard work and dedication every day. Happy Labour Day! 😊 🔂 Share & Save for future ! #midcareer #professionaldevelopment #growthmindset

Linkers, I've heard it's bad to have several short-lived jobs, but what about staying at the same company for a very long time? Does that look bad on my resume, and, if so, how long is too long to stay at any one job? Back in the day, it was considered a sign of loyalty and longevity to stick with one employer for decades and then retire (maybe with a fat pension or a gold watch in return). With today's job environment, that's no longer a viable option for many of us.  From reading this article about this senior I don't think there is a timeframe that is too long to stay in a job. The key is staying up to date in your area of expertise and networking with people in the field, and she is brining it!!! If you're happy at your job there is no reason to leave because you've been there too long, just make sure you are keeping yourself and your skills marketable.

March 1 is tomorrow! Are you ready to demonstrate meaningful appreciation to employees? Will co-workers show appreciation for each other? If the answer is yes I recommend leaders take note of that and emjoy the win for a moment. It means you are doing a good job building a culture that depends on you but not only you. When I refer to trickle down leadership, employees appreciating each other falls into that. Broadly speaking, “what did you do yesterday that could positively impact how others choose to act today?” BONUS….Did you know March 1 is also National Unplugged Day? Can you honor that and appreciation in a single act? Thinking……. In close, and for our school leaders trying to solve teacher burnout and vacancies: You are not only leading a school. You are also leading a workplace. I can’t help but wonder what principals and administrators will do tomorrow to show appreciation to the teachers they lead? I know many schools have a teacher appreciation week. Regardless, i wouldn’t let this day slip by. It takes little time and effort to tell people who depend on your leadership that you appreciate them. #inspiringhr #hrdonedifferently

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

Appreciation Day is a special occasion to celebrate the hard work and dedication of employees. It's like a warm ray of sunshine on a cold winter day, illuminating the path ahead and warming our hearts. Just as a flower blooms with care and nourishment, employees blossom when they feel valued and appreciated. Employee appreciation is not just about handing out bonuses or gifts. It's about acknowledging the effort and contribution of each individual, and making them feel like they are part of a family. It's about recognizing the small victories and the challenges overcome, and showing gratitude for the unique skills and talents each employee brings to the table. Appreciation Day is a reminder that every employee is a vital cog in the wheel of success. It's a day to reflect on the journey we've taken together, and to look forward to the brighter future ahead. Let's cherish this day, and make it a regular occurrence, because every day should be a day of appreciation for our dedicated employees.
