Workplace Memories
My sisters and I helped Mom move. She and Dad had lived in their home for 53 years. After Dad died, we put the house on the market. And it was sold.
That house was filled with wonderful memories. I remember learning new things – roller-skating in the living room until the carpet was burlap. I remember a sense of community – sitting in the stairway, listening to my parents laugh late into the evening with their friends. I remember taking risks – posing for prom pictures in a dress that was so yellow you needed sunglasses to look at it. I think about that house, and I smile.
Our work environment creates memories, too. Each of the environments I’ve worked in elicits a different emotional response.
Think about your organization. What will your employees remember when they leave? Will they remember it as a place to grow? A place where relationships laid the foundation for success? A place where they could take chances, try new things, and grow professionally?
What memories do you have of the places you’ve worked? What emotional responses do they elicit?
