You bet they are! Yesterday was my birthday. When I got into the office, inserted into the slot above the number keys on my keyboard was an envelope with my name on it. Inside was a birthday card hand signed by the management team. Each of them, and there are six, wrote a brief personal message wishing me a happy birthday and thanking me for my contribution to the success of the company. It really made me feel special and appreciated. The card was not one of those funny or off-color cards I like to get for and receive from friends. It was definitely a business birthday card \u2013 formal, but modern and definitely appropriate for a corporate environment.<\/p>\n<p>The management team started sending birthday cards for employees a few years ago. I really think it makes a difference that they acknowledge employee birthdays in this way. I mean it\u2019s not like kindergarten so no one brings cupcakes and goodies and no one is singing <em>happy birthday<\/em> or handing out birthday gifts but the card is a small gesture that says: we care about you. And in return, they probably got more work out of me that day. So are business birthday cards good for morale? I\u2019d say so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Are business birthday cards good for morale? You bet they are! Yesterday was my birthday.
