Research shows that the average employee stays with a company for about 4 years, give or take. Ms. Moss is just one of many examples of York School District 1 employees that have that long surpassed that average, and we are grateful for her! If you're interested in a new career path in Education, let's talk about the reasons that we see these long-lasting careers here at YSD1! #connectedasONE #YorkSC

Secret Santa has something to say for you... We have numerous opportunities to play the role of a secret Santa. Imagine the impact we can make by lending a helping hand to our coworkers, and offering support when they least expect it. Whether it's assisting with a challenging project, sharing valuable insights, or simply being a positive presence, these small gestures can make a big difference in someone's professional journey. One powerful way to be a workplace Santa is by secretly praising our colleagues in front of their bosses. Acknowledging their hard work, dedication, and achievements can not only boost their morale but also contribute to their career growth. Let's create a culture of appreciation and recognition, ensuring that every deserving individual gets the credit they deserve.

In my role as a vertrouwenspersoon/trusted person, I've seen firsthand the power of trust and early intervention in the workplace. It's heartening when colleagues seek support early, allowing us to navigate challenges together. Yet, it's deeply saddening when individuals come forward only after deciding to leave our organization, limiting our ability to help beyond sharing in their grief. Having served as a vertrouwenspersoon/trusted person for seven years, I've learned the critical importance of this role in fostering a supportive, open work environment. It's not about accolades but about making a real difference in our colleagues' lives and our organizational culture. I encourage more of you to consider becoming a vertrouwenspersoon/trusted person. It's an opportunity to be a beacon of support and contribute to a workplace where everyone feels valued, heard, and empowered to thrive. Let's together create a culture of trust and openness that benefits us all.

So, I’ve been the Interim Chief of Staff to the Executive Director of the Port for the last 10.5 months. Which is a job I don’t want. But YOU should totally apply!! Now, you may be saying to yourself, “Eric, if it’s such a great job, then why don’t you want the permanent gig?” To which I would say “Mind your own beeswax.” Which is a phrase that people use to avoid saying the word “business” which is weird because it’s not like trying to avoid cursing by saying “H-E-Double Hockey Sticks”. As a side note, I went to a costume New Year’s party one year at Consolidated Works (of blessed memory) dressed as H-E-Double Hockey Sticks, with two hockey sticks in my hands, which was funny but challenging for alcohol consumption. My general theory is that people use “beeswax” because they’re worried that if they say “mind your own business” then people will start singing “It’s Business Time” by Flight of the Conchords, which was amusing the first thousand times but now I could do without. Not to be confused with the very strange “It’s Time for Business” video that the Seattle Chamber made, full of cameos from such luminaries as Governor Christine Gregoire: https://lnkd.in/g2tYKGBp. Not to be confused with Courtney Gregoire, who was a Port Commissioner, and so we’ve come full circle! Wait, where was I? Oh yes, the Port is a great place to work, Executive Director Metruck is a great guy to Chief of Staff for, and you get to engage in all sorts of amazing organizational, management, and policy issues/decisions/projects/initiatives. And, while we don’t make beeswax at the Port (although we probably move beeswax cargo through our aviation and maritime gateway), we do raise bees on the airfield and partner with a local nonprofit to jar and sell the honey! So, we’ve got that going for us, which is good. https://lnkd.in/gzm2Atps

Being Santa in someone's life is the best job one can have, and it doesn't require a red suit and reindeer, not not just during the Christmas season, but throughout the year. In our professional lives, we have numerous opportunities to play the role of a secret Santa. Imagine the impact we can make by lending a helping hand to our coworkers, offering support when they least expect it. Whether it's assisting with a challenging project, sharing valuable insights, or simply being a positive presence, these small gestures can make a big difference in someone's professional journey. One powerful way to be a workplace Santa is by secretly praising our colleagues in front of their bosses. Acknowledging their hard work, dedication, and achievements can not only boost their morale but also contribute to their career growth.

#CSR strategies don’t need to be overthought. Sometimes it is just about your people and placing value in them.
