How Bachman’s Enriched Employee Wellbeing During the Holidays
A Kindness Success Story
The Challenge:
December is one of the busiest months for employees at Bachman’s. Their Wellness Committee was looking for a simple yet engaging program that would help boost employee morale as they worked through the holiday season. Bachman’s chose our new Day Maker Challenge, to activate during December. During this 4-week program, employees were encouraged to make someone’s day 20 times through intentional acts of kindness. Bachman’s chose to modify the challenge and asked employees to recognize someone who made their day. Nomination forms were available throughout the company’s operational and retail locations. Those nominated were entered into a prize drawing at the end of the program.
The Impact:
The results of this challenge celebrated employee connections and morale through encouraging acts of kindness. Team members were excited to acknowledge the employee who made a difference in their day. The Bachman’s Wellness Committee collected over 50 Day Maker nomination cards and ensured that each nominated person received their submission form to recognize their acts of kindness.
After the program, the committee communicated to all employees, including a recap of the program and highlighting several acts of kindness nominations. This program helped boost the well-being of both the person submitting the nomination form and the nominated person. It was a beautiful way to encourage engagement.
