Employee Morale
Unique Idea for Celebrating Father’s Day
Contributed by Ann Heatherton
You still have a few days to hold a last minute Father’s Day morale booster. This is what Ann wrote about what she did:
To celebrate Father’s Day one year, I held a baseball ticket drawing (4 tickets, parking and Stadium Club passes included).
To enter the drawing, I asked employees to share thoughts about their dads or about fatherhood. I got many thoughtful and heartwarming responses.
All of it was posted on the employee -ShareBoard- which featured chocolate brown and gold posterboard with coordinating scrapbook pages and cocoa/green/blue yarn for texture.
One employee even emailed me an ultrasound of his baby which was due any time. (I posted it of course.)
And to think at one time I didn’t believe they would ever learn to share.

Joke of the Week
As manager of a video store belonging to a major chain, I often helped customers who had trouble hooking up rented video-game systems. One morning a co-worker held out the phone as I arrived.
She had been on the line for nearly an hour, trying to get a customer’s system to work. Desperate, the customer now begged me to make a house call.
I agreed to go, and upon arrival, I verified all the feeds and connections, turned on the television and was greeted by the start-up screen.
“Oh, thank you,” she said. “How did you fix it?” Her ten-year-old son, who had been watching me like a hawk as I worked, was quick to respond: “He turned on the television, Mom.”
Needless to say, we added that step to our checklist.
