Speaker 1: My name is Eva Lorik. I'm your Director of Human Resources here at the Bud Group. So what do you think about gratitude and giving thanks? What does it mean to you? Well to me it means appreciation and recognition. So let's all take a look at this next video and pay close attention to the interactions that people are

Speaker 2: having with one another. Hey Rhonda, I just finished the kitchen.

Speaker 3: Well let's inspect the kitchen to see how that is. Okay. Hey, you haven't cleaned, you haven't pulled the trash. I need you to get on that right away. All right.

Speaker 2: Hey, good morning. Oh shucks. Hey Liz, I just remembered I have to get to my son's baseball game in like 15 minutes. Would you mind pulling the trash from the kitchen? I don't have

Speaker 4: to do that. That's your job. I gotta do mine. I mean please, I really got to get out of here. You can't help me out. Yeah, you'll be able to get it done.

Speaker 1: Hey, can I get someone's help? All right, so too often we look at what's wrong in a work setting rather than what's right. Teamwork might be weak or non-existent. Each person is there to make for themselves and maybe not for the greater good of the team or maybe even for the location. So we all have bad days. Some start at home, some just with one interaction with another individual who started their day bad. Emotions are contagious in this way. So like in the video you just watched, a person's emotions and physical health is directly related to a person's safety on the job. Could the manager have done or said something differently to prevent this employee from hurting themselves? Did the manager even read this individual's emotions when they were speaking? Their head was slumped down, their shoulders were down. Teamwork has been demonstrated to increase efficiency, improve communication, foster friendship and loyalty. So what could have been done differently in this video for a more supportive team? Now take a look at the next video and let's see how

Speaker 2: gratitude plays a role. Hey Rhonda, I just finished up with the kitchen. Okay, well

Speaker 3: let me inspect that. All right. Microwave looks great. Oh, thanks. Countertop is really in great shape. Sinks look good. Keeping up with your dusting. Floors, tables, it all looks nice. Thank you. Thank you so much. Yeah. Hey, when you get a chance before you leave

Speaker 2: tonight, do you mind getting that trash? Yeah, sorry, totally forgot about that. Thank you, really. I appreciate everything. Thank you. Thank you. See ya.

Speaker 4: Hey, good morning. Hey, good morning. Thanks for all your hard work. Oh yeah, no problem.

Speaker 2: Oh, sorry. Have a good day. You too. Oh, shucks. Hey, Liz, I just forgot. I have to get to my son's baseball game in like 10 minutes. Would you mind pulling the trash in the

Speaker 4: kitchen for me? I'm sure I'll be glad to, no problem at all. Okay, awesome. Yeah, as soon as I'm done with this, I'll grab it. Yeah, all right. Thanks so much.

Speaker 2: Thanks, have a good one. I'll see you tomorrow. All right. Hey, tell your son I said good luck. All right, thanks. See ya. Have a good one. Bye.

Speaker 4: Let's go, Jimmy. Great inning, coach. Woo. All right. Hey. Hey. I didn't think you were going to be able to make it. Yeah, actually, I didn't think so either, but I had a

Speaker 2: really good day at work, and this other employee helped take care of the end of my shift, so I can make it out here, and yeah, it's a great game. That's awesome. Wow, what a difference. So in this last video, we saw

Speaker 1: recognition with positivity. We saw appreciation, connection with one another, care, respect, and friendship in the end. Gratitude is strongly and consistently associated with greater happiness. Gratitude helps people feel more positive emotions. They relish in good experiences, helps to improve health, deal with adversity, and build strong relationships. How much more positive can that be? So thank you. It's a powerful phrase, a powerful sentence within our vocabulary. Strive to use it more often in your day-to-day conversations, and you will just see how far it takes you and your team. So thank you for all that you do at The Bud Group. You are appreciated. Thank you.
