NOT A FAMILY THING
Over the past few years I continue to hear stories about the workplace as family. That everything about work should feel like family. Well, I am here to tell you the other side. To tell you that work is work and family is family. Over the past several decades, I have worked for more than a dozen organizations, all in this industry. Although there were several that were wonderful places to work, none were like home, and none felt like my family. As we continue to build a better business, let’s position the team and the club for success, and as a solid workplace. During my work career, I have lost a job or two, but have remained as part of the same family for more than sixty years. Here are 5 thoughts in building a better workplace where people can feel good about their job:
Although the company name on my check has changed often, my name remains the same. As you continue to build your club, work to respect every staffer, teach them well, be fair and open with them, and provide each opportunities to learn and to grow. The workplace can become a strong team, much of that is up to you, however it will never be like family.
