Thanksgiving<\/a> is a time to show thanks for what you have and for those that are part of your life.  It is also a time to show others what they mean to you and why you are thankful they are part of your life.  The same can be done at the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having a \u201cWall of Thanks\u201d is a great way to recognize all the individuals and their contributions to the business and to each other.  Set up a wall in a common area that everyone has access to.  You can either hang a chalkboard with chalk nearby or have a large pad of post-it notes.  Everyone can take this opportunity to write a note of thanks in appreciation of what someone has done for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A fun idea is to have a Thanksgiving recipe contest.  With the American culture consisting of such a mix of nationalities, many households have such a variety of takes on the basics such as stuffing, potatoes, etc.  The participants can bring in their dish along with the recipe.  I love the idea of the winner getting their Thanksgiving turkey as the prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another great idea to show how thankful you are is to do a clothes drive and give back.  Set up a box in the work kitchen for the entire month of December than as a group, bring your donations to the local homeless shelter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Celebrate this Thanksgiving in your office by showing thanks, having fun and giving back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Thanksgiving is a time to show thanks for what you have and for those that are part of…","protected":false},"author":70,"featured_media":11545,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1292,1296,1299,1315,1316,532],"tags":[317,613,716,928,1129],"class_list":{"0":"post-11544","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-occasions-and-celebrations","8":"category-tips-and-trends","9":"category-expressing-thanks","10":"category-latest-trends","11":"category-office-wellness-tips-and-trends","12":"category-office-wellness","13":"tag-thanksgiving","14":"tag-office-party","15":"tag-holiday-party","16":"tag-tips","17":"tag-business-tips","18":"cs-entry"},"yoast_head":"\nGobble, Gobble!
