May is: Workplace Relationships Enrichment Month<\/h3>\n

May is the month to focus on the enrichment of workplace relationships, and have fun in the process. We spend a great part of our life at work. It makes sense to do what we can to develop satisfying relationships with those we work with every day.<\/p>\n

Activity ideas:<\/p>\n

1. Everyone loves crossword puzzles, and they serve a useful purpose when you customize them to your workplace or organization. Make up clues that tell something interesting about each employee. The answer will be the employee’s first and last name.<\/p>\n

For example, one company placed a bulletin board inside their break room and invited employees to answer the question: “If you could change the world (or your workplace) what would that look like?” Questions can be changed periodically. The answers provide incredible insight about the respondents. It can also be a place where your employees can post personal stories, pictures, etc.<\/p>\n
