~~ FSO Employee on Awards Call

Good Morning Folks,

The weather in New York has been fabulous. I hope all of you have had the chance to enjoy the summertime with family and friends. The FSO Nation has been going full steam ahead, delivering the world class experience that has made us famous from coast to coast.  

Before we get to the awards, I'd like to point out some very special recognition we received in a client's blog. You've seen all the kudos we've shared about our employees from this client, Capco, and now this recognition is icing on the cake. 

In their post they mention my fellow workforce happiness leader Simon Sinek's new book (Leaders Eat Last) where Simon (who has been featured right here on MitchWeiner.com's Ted Tuesday), talks about employees and happiness at work. He contends that only a minority of employees feel fulfilled and truly happy at work… and it is of our own doing.  

Sinek reckons employees are not happy because we have built systems and constructed orgaizations that force the human animal to work in environments in which it does not work best…. and one which encourages us to look after ourselves first and be suspicious of others.

Capco's takeaway was confirmation that trust plays such an important part in creating the right environment for employees … and acts as the lubrication that reduces friction and creates conditions much more conducive to high performance.

As such they were delighted to boast that we are a trusted partner blogging:

"As I thought about how good it felt to be recognised by our clients, I realised we don’t do enough of that with our own vendors and partners. How many of us have said thanks or well done to FSO and RPO - our partners helping us provide a world class experience in the office and helping us hire world class colleagues. They are a critical part of making Capco what it is...stop by - say thanks!"

Every day, people search for something that motivates them. Things to get them out of bed, things to get them pumped up, things to help them make it through the day and so much more! What a great thing to be able to say about your job!

Thanks to you Capco for giving us the privilege to serve you. Here are the July winners who personify our leaders of the future. 

You can read what our clients had to say about these Rockstars HERE and HERE and HERE and look forward to many more kudos we've received for our employees that will be published next Wednesday. 

What amazing teams ~ the energy and passion were unmistakable!! 

We've built and grown his business with an emphasis on people – the hardworking, dedicated employees who care about doing a great job for our clients. Without your passion, energy and care, we would not be the company that we are today. 

As we approach the third and final holiday weekend of summer, have a fabulous, sunny, day filled with love and inspiration.  

Hugs all around,

Mitchell D. Weiner
Chief Happiness Officer
