JANUARY 18

Some stories just have to be shared.

GET IT IN WRITING

Imagine an issue of your company newsletter featuring an achievement by one of your employees. Now imagine it yellow and worn with age. (We just thought you might want to see how it will look years from now in your employee’s scrapbook.)

Your company newsletter is the ideal place to recognize outstanding employees. Submit employees’ names and photographs to the newsletter with a story about what they have done to live the corporate values. Don’t worry about spelling or punctuation; just tell the story. If they are smart, the editors will take your story and take care of the details.

Your employee will save that article for years. Guaranteed. And each time he sees it, he’ll feel the desire to be in the spotlight again.
