In this season of holiday cheer and reflection, I searched for articles on how to be thankful – just little reminders.
There are many aspects of our lives to be thankful for, but I want to reflect for a moment on my place of employment. I am extremely thankful for a caring and compassionate team that strives daily to make the lives of our community members better as they get back to work and gear up business operations.
One particular aspect I am thankful for is the addition (through some natural turnover) of CBE One-Stop Employment System staff that was in the unemployed trenches themselves not so long ago. Not only are they extremely empathetic to what our job-seeking customers are going through, they bring a fresh perspective on how we can make our services better.
With limited resources outpaced by demand, this is a constant struggle – not everyone coming through our doors will end up with exactly what they hoped. We do want them to feel their interaction with us gave them additional tools in the toolbox and that someone out there genuinely cares about them.
On that note, I say, “Thank you,” to staff as well as the customers we are privileged to serve.
