We have a tradition in our office of welcoming new employees with a breakfast just for them. The new person gets to feel special and welcome and we get to know him/her a little and make them begin their time with us feeling like part of the team right off the bat.
We also welcome vistors and guests to our office with a "welcome" sign and their names.
Employees who have been with us a while, we try to make eachother feel wanted. "We want you to stay and be part of our team. You are valued, you have contributed, we like you, we want you with us." Everybody likes to feel special and wanted. I know I do.
One "welcomes" a new person or a vistitor or guest, however a person who has been with you for a while may need to be affirmed that he/she is wanted/valued in the organization.
A friend of mine resigned recently and I miss her very much. She was a unique person. At 24, this was her first job out of college, but she was wise beyond her years. She used to sing at her desk while she worked, I loved it. Beautiful voice too. Her internal light was very bright and she was filled with love. She smiled all the time, made people feel wanted and good.
Someone else will come and take her place, and that person will be wonderful too, but we will probably not have anyone just like my Michelle. Good luck Michelle, thank you for gracing us with your presence, I know you will feel welcome and wanted wherever you go!
In that regard, on behalf of all Turnloveinsideout (TLIO), everyone is welcome to share stories and thoughts on Love. All current TLIO'ers are wanted to continue with us and post whenever possible Your presence is wanted, valued, desired. We want you to feel supported and loved here.
Have a great day.
Peace
