Today I was asked to write an appreciation of staff speech. Obviously you cannot mention everyone individually but some deserve mention for some outstanding contribution. It’s a delicate balance and you have to be very careful not to keep saying “And I would like to thank” because that makes the speech boring. It’s always good too to add in a personal story to illustrate the fact that the company is about people rather then merely profit. This kind of speech should leave the all the staff feeling appreciated and motivated.
