I was about to begin a week long training session, and it was also my birthday. I walked into the training room filled with anticipation for this new chapter in my life. I was surprised to find a card placed on top of my employee manual. The card was to welcome me to the company and congratulate me on my birthday! It was personally signed by the managers and executive staff. It put a smile on my face and made me feel at ease. I couldn\u2019t believe that my birthday had been recognized, and on just my first day; on top of that, the executives took the time to hand sign all their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/birthday-cards\/personal-birthday-cards\/\"><strong>personalized birthday cards<\/strong><\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Today, I still have the card proudly displayed at my desk. It is so beautiful with the company\u2019s name and logo in the card. I now do the purchasing for the company, and I make sure that I order the same business birthday cards (from The Gallery Collection) that I received on my first day. That day set the tone for what has turned out to be an exceptional workplace. It\u2019s amazing, but true, that the smallest things can have a big impact.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It was my first day back to work at a new company after a long hiatus taking care&hellip;","protected":false},"author":160,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1297,31,1292,1302],"tags":[38,912,121],"class_list":["post-4206","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-birthday-inspiration","category-business-birthday-cards","category-occasions-and-celebrations","category-welcoming-messages","tag-birthday-cards","tag-business-birthday-cards","tag-personalized-birthday-cards","cs-entry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.1 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>A Warm Reception At My New Job With Personalized Birthday Cards - Business Greeting Card Blogs &amp;
