Employee Engagement Tip of the Day: Take Pictures

Nov 12

We take tons of pictures at our shop. It’s super fun, and I think pictures bond people. The cool thing about pictures is that you can look at them later and say, “Yeah, I was there.” It’s fun to look back and remember together.

I don’t think people take many pictures at work in cubicle farms. We live a third of our life at work — and it’s invisible. After thirty years and a gold watch, what’s there to show? How about a few snapshots? Do you take pictures at work?

Here’s a few of the iFractal gang…we always have a camera or video going.

    There always bad days or bad periods of time, even in the best places to work.
    Pictures of the good times: lunchtime social events, gathering to eat cake for a baby/wedding shower, service award presentations, etc. allow you to look back & helps to alleviate the heavy times. Good organizations not only provide positive outlets, they document them as well. It helps keep work in perspective.
