Nice Reward

I've been running our Employee recognition for seven years. We usually get taken out to lunch by the CEO, his wife and the HR VP as a thank you after our year-end presentation. It's nice but it's a little stilted sitting in a restaurant trying to converse amongst a dozen people.

This year, we decided to do something a little different. Basically, I invited us all over to the CEO's house for an afternoon of lunch, cocktails, pool and ping pong. The party also expanded to include the Senior Management team.

When we got there on Friday, the CEO was at the grill working on our burgers (both cow and turkey). How cool is that? The CEO actually made us lunch!

We had lunch and watched some of the previous years' presentations. We've done some elaborate films to present our Employee of the Year and it was fun revisiting them. There was the Who Wants To Be A SmartStar?, a corporate training film done old school in black and white, The Mad Scientist and take offs on Home Improvement and Fear Factor.

After the viewing, several pool games and some serious ping pong action broke out. I was bummed that I had to leave because we were going to Tucson and I had to book out at 3 PM. Everyone had a good time and it was a great afternoon of chilling and chatting.
