Adults that continue to learn, will grow beyond many’s earthly concern!

  Keeping It Simple We cannot prevent the progress of technology in the world. Finding how to make it work with us to create amazing experiences is going to be an ongoing process. How can we keep a personal relationship and be involved with our staff when companies are managing facilities across many city miles, multiple states, and even around the world? Can we develop team development to include our growth in technology? Simple staff technological engagements can many times be overlooked. We are looking for ways to celebrate and acknowledge our staff. Simple forms of acknowledgement more often could help keep them engaged longer. Tom, with the University of Central Florida, mentions personalizing each student's experience (2022). Recognizing birthdays, work anniversaries, recognition of holidays, and many others.
