I'm backtracking here to Frederikshavn (stop 6) and not just to brag about how good our host mum Tina's roast pork was (although it was out-of-this-world amazing).
I wanted to quickly write about an important topic we were discussing over said roast pork (and many bottles of red wine) - Christmas!
Morten and Tina told us about a lovely tradition they have around Christmas with their staff at their company, Seafood Sales. At the start of the month of December, each staff member draws a name out of a hat. Then, every day leading up to Christmas, it is their job to do something nice for that person, be it making them a cup of coffee, collecting their printing from the printer, buying them lunch. It doesn't matter how big or small, as long as it is something that will make their lives a little easier for the festive season.
I loved it, and think it should be compulsory to implement it in every workplace! It's yet another example of a small gesture making a big difference to the happiness, motivation and drive to perform at work.
