We have a program at HG where each month one of the associates is chosen as "Star of the Month" for their outstanding contributions to the community. At the end of the year, from those 12 stars is chosen "Star of the Year". It's a great honor and comes with a nice bonus. I got my star of the month last February for the work I was doing down in dining at our assisted living facility. I was surprised to have gotten it, but was happy to take the bonus that also comes with being star of the month.
I was not sure how good my chances were since I have since changed departments. But, I think I have done some good things as a CSR to enhance our community. The thing is, though, I don't do these things for a prize. It's just who I am. It is the amazing work ethic I've been blessed with, thanks to my parents. I stop and think about what I might want if I were in the shoes of my residents. Those things that are just a little extra to make someone feel special, to make their day a little better and easier. The same for my coworkers. What can I do to help them out to make our team run smoother. I'm happy to do it and it gives me a better sense of purpose at work.
I had a little hint that I might get the award. But, life as taught me not to put all of my eggs in one basket. Too many times I have been told I had something and then it was taken away without warning, so these kinds of hints must be taken with a grain of salt. Still, I'm very glad it happened and I'm proud of my achievements.
That is all :)
