Will celebrating milestones help your culture thrive?

Who was Daniel and why is his name on some of the bricks?

 

Should you be let go for our obvious, gross negligence?

Will celebrating milestones help your culture thrive? Of course. Yet it’s astonishing how many people know it but do not actively design their corporate human resource practices with intentionality.

It’s Sunday, January 25, 2015. Who cares? No one.

But what if we recalled that January 25 was jungle jeff’s very first day with the Walt Disney Company?

But it was so long ago, 1982, that it no longer has relevance or value to today’s work.

Epic failure.

Hard to appreciate the Mississippi River without the knowledge of it’s headwaters.

Most of your employees have no knowledge of your founder. Not even if their life depended on it.

Acceptable?

On the second of only three runs in ten days, this sign instantly brought to mind a missed opportunity. An easy thing to add, if only an organization’s culture thinks intentionally – a corporate culture by design, not by default.

Thank you for visiting Dorney Park.

There are variations and or additions that could be added, but most important to communicate is “Thank You”.

Easy.

Or easily forgotten?

Thank you for reading this post. Be amazed and be amazing today.

Why time stamp these posts? Why are they 100 days old?

Orlando based motivational speaker, jeff noel, is the Grateful Dead of blogging.

Most people don’t get the Dead’s music. But some do. And the ones who do, enjoy a very special connection that others aren’t interested in.

Besides that, the writing here isn’t to create a following, it’s to create a ruckus.

Starting with the person typing these very words.

A half-hour has been blocked at 3:30pm today to gather for jungle jeff’s ‘Disney years of service’ award. Thirty years at Disney used to be rare back in the day. Most of the people receiving that milestone were hired as part of the opening team in 1971 or hired shortly thereafter.

You felt privileged to be in attendance at their special recognition.

Nowadays, 30 years isn’t such a big deal.

Unless it’s you.

Then it’s pretty surreal.

While 30 years at Disney isn’t rare, 30 years with a single organization in 2014 is.

The nervous part?

Hard to explain.
