Happy Friday! Happy Hanukkah!
The weeks leading to the holidays are always exciting and/or stressful- Company and personal events, shoppings, mailing packages, decorating and making travel arrangements.
If you are in the catering business, from December 1 until just before Christmas could be one of the busiest times for you. There will be lots of catering functions as most people are having their holiday parties during this time.
In the Food and Nutrition department at Lahey Hospital & Medical Center, we have been receiving between 50 to 60 catering events each week during the holiday while running a busy retail business. Yet, if you walk into our cafeteria or speak to our colleagues in the catering department, you will see business as usual. Everyone is happy, working together as a team.
I have been under the weather this week but when I walk into the department, somehow they make me feel much better. Their smile, hard work, dedication and the team spirit that they demonstrates are truly contagious. I truly believe that teamwork is not just working together. Teamwork requires each and everyone of us doing the job that were entrusted to us and putting in a little Sodexo
CARES spirit. The
CARES accronym means
Compassion,
Accountability,
Respect,
Enthusiasm and
Service.
Hence, I would like to dedicate this article to all the hard working colleagues in the Food and Nutrition department at Lahey Health and everyone who works in the retail and food business.
Thank you for making
everyday a better day for all those we serve.
We appreciate YOU!
