The importance of work

8/1/11 The importance of work

Over the last couple weeks, you've spent dozens of hours working at Delta College. The main reason you were here, of course, is to be able to get a paycheck to put food on the table and pay your bills. But, work does have it's advantages. A positive work environment is a great social connection. People who have good relationships with their coworkers are healthier on almost every measure. We spend a lot of time with our coworkers- sometimes significantly more than our significant others. This should also remind us that the people we work with are also our "customers". We can approach our coworkers with the same commitment to great service as we do every day with our external customers.  I appreciate the relationships I have established with you. You make my day every day!
