As the festive season envelops us in its warmth and joy, I find myself contemplating the beautiful convergence of Christmas values and the essence of good work ethic. Beyond the twinkling lights and festive cheer, there exists a profound connection between the spirit of Christmas and the principles that drive us to excel in our professional endeavors. 🎄 Christmas teaches us the value of giving, and in the professional realm, this translates into a spirit of generosity and collaboration. Sharing knowledge, supporting colleagues, and fostering a collaborative work environment can truly amplify the impact we have collectively. 🎅 Much like Santa's leadership in delivering gifts around the world, leadership in the workplace demands a sense of responsibility. Taking ownership of our tasks, leading by example, and guiding our teams through challenges are fundamental aspects of a strong work ethic. 🤝 On Unity and Inclusivity: Christmas promotes unity and inclusivity, celebrating the diversity that makes our world vibrant. In the workplace, recognizing and valuing diverse perspectives contributes to a rich tapestry of ideas, fostering innovation and creativity. 🌟 As we bask in the warmth of the season, let's carry the spirit of Christmas into our professional lives. May your holidays be filled with joy, and may the lessons of Christmas guide us all toward a successful and fulfilling new year! #ChristmasSpirit #WorkEthic #ProfessionalExcellence #Reflections #Leadership #Collaboration

Each year, the Strategy team travels to a mysterious, unknown location to celebrate Christmas by doing mysterious, unknown activities (it’s called a surprise, it’s fun). This year, Ōtautahi was our destination of choice. For a day we honoured Christmas’ most important components: eating, drinking and awkwardly trying our hand at speech-giving. After receiving tees adorned with personalised portraits, we celebrated iconic Strategy activities. This started by merging competition and pub lunches, resulting in a quiz the team still argues about today. We ended the day at Serve, Christchurch’s very own ping pong bar to celebrate the partner’s historic love for the ball-bouncing sport (they’re obsessed. They even got custom paddles/rackets/bats(?) made back in the day. Needless to say, we know who won…). No matter how busy the year is, reuniting to celebrate our achievements is always a priority - and everyone’s highlight. Even if it takes about a week to recover. Bring on Strategy Christmas Party 2024. What shall we do next?! #xmas #strategy

It’s that moment when everyone has shared what they are thankful for…..now what?? Save this post for some more questions to ask around the Thanksgiving dinner table!

As we gather to toast the festive season, ensure your company Christmas party🎄isn't just about merriment - rather it's a golden opportunity to recognize and appreciate your extraordinary team members genuinely. 🌟 This year, we're encouraging clients to embrace the simple joys. No need for extravagant gestures; it's all about authentic, heartfelt appreciation and lots of fun. Our focus? Awards that genuinely mean something, crafted to celebrate the unique contributions of each team member. 🎁 🤝 And here's something special: we're incorporating the 'Five Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace.' A little insight: 1. Words of Affirmation: A simple 'thank you' or a public shout-out can do wonders. 2. Quality Time: Giving undivided attention, maybe through a one-on-one lunch or a coffee chat. 3. Acts of Service: Lending a helping hand when it's needed the most. Make sure to ask first, before helping! 4. Tangible Gifts: Thoughtful presents that show you pay attention to their likes. 5. Physical Touch: A high-five or a pat on the back (keeping it professional, of course!). Your party is set to be a memorable one where everyone feels valued and celebrated. Here's to a fantastic event that strengthens your team bond and sets the tone for an incredible year ahead! 🥂 #CompanyCulture #EmployeeAppreciation #ChristmasParty #WorkplaceWellness #TeamBuilding #EmployeeRecognition #EmployeeRelations

It is the first time I have said it on LinkedIn this year 😮 Christmas Eve Eve is only 2 months away? 🎄 🎅 Time sure flies when you're hustling. Although you're knee-deep in day-to-day operations, it’s a good idea to start preparing for the festive season, starting with… 🎉 Christmas party: It's a fantastic way to let your team unwind and bond whilst showing your appreciation. 🎁 Gifts: Consider dishing out some Christmas bonuses to reward employees’ dedication and keep up the holiday spirit. A little generosity goes a long way! 😊 R&R: Now’s the time to decide whether you’ll be closing up shop or reducing opening hours over the Christmas period. Discuss with your team if they’d like to leave early on Christmas Eve. Everyone deserves some quality time with loved ones, and that goodwill always comes back twofold. ⏰ Cover: Assess your staffing needs to ensure operational excellence while allowing team members to take well-deserved breaks. Remember, the earlier you start preparing for Christmas, the merrier it will be for you and your team.

Is there a big deal? As adults with busy lives, we often find ourselves questioning the significance of the festive period. The demands on our time and energy can make it feel even more overwhelming, particularly for those of us who are family-oriented. However, I firmly believe that the festive period is a valuable opportunity to strengthen bonds, mend relationships, and positively impact others through thoughtful gestures and gifts. It is a time to reflect on our successes and how far we have come, while also allowing our bodies and minds the much-needed rest and pampering they deserve. Even in professional settings, I believe that this time should be granted to employees, allowing them to spend quality time with their loved ones and recharge their batteries. The festive season is a time for gratitude and sharing, so I invite you to join me in the comment section below to express what you are thankful for this year. Additionally, I encourage you to tag companies that reward their employees with an extended holiday period, providing them with the opportunity to refresh and nurture themselves before returning to work.

Most of my content revolves around offering advice to the hospitality industry, emphasizing collaboration and mutual support. However, as we approach the festive season, I thought perhaps it was worth reminding customers about the Christmas spirit 🎄 While you're out enjoying the hospitality of various venues and events this Christmas, take a moment to remember that it's also the holiday season for all the hardworking staff at every establishment. 💪 They, too, are excited about spending time with friends and family. Even though they might be working, their joy comes from making your experience special and demonstrating kindness, often in challenging circumstances. In our more egalitarian society, hospitality has evolved beyond mere 'service.' It's now about kindness and creating happiness for others, a two-way street. So, as you savor the season's delights, remember to reciprocate that kindness. You have no idea the power you have as customers to make a difference to the day of ordinary people doing their jobs and working together as a team 💗 Here's to joy, and plenty of money and time spent in our vital and vibrant hospitality industry. Happy holidays to all! 🎄✨ P.S As an extra special Christmas gift post a public 5-star review... not only does it genuinely help businesses that are finding things difficult at the moment but public recognition always gives the whole team a boost. 🙏 #HospitalityKindness #HolidayCheer #SpreadJoy #hospitalityindustry
