viewpoint

I am one of those strange people who is more or less enthusiastic about my job. I really think it's because I'm not there that much and do not have a lot of responsibilities. Since I'm so chipper and helpful, they put me in the Viewpoint Committee. Viewpoint is a measure of how much the workers enjoy working at our establishment. I don't feel this years score was a true reflection of how people feel. It's way too high. Most people just gave 5's across the board just to get it over with. I have seen some improvements since the survey, but it's not enough. Motivation is a huge factor. It's not something a group of underlings can change. The only things I can think of right now that can improve the working experience is to bring a sense of community to the workers.

I am guilty of not communicating. Most people in the store doesn't know what it is we do when we wake up too early on a Saturday morning to meet. Sometimes we get things done. We had some great ideas last week. I brought up a few of them. We need a comments box. Which we have. Just needed to label it as such. We should decorate the hub. Put pictures and such on the cabinets. That is the only place where we can put things up. But of course, those things don't happen because we in the committee don't have the motivation to do so. Motivation really comes from top down, and that's another story.

I had a couple more ideas. I want to make the display more interactive. People can write on it. Add to lists, suggestions, votes and such.

A lot of pictures. We have a lot of pictures stored up already, we just need to print them. I'm thinking a new myspace group. People need to turn on the receive bulletin feature.

Taking email is a good idea. People want immediate response. I don't think the comments box thing is really going to work. Bulletin board type of thing is good.

I want to take suggestions from people. Collaborated suggestions. I want to know! Yeah I think I'll make a few more suggestions next time.
