We all need some relaxing in life, and this trip was much needed!

Mills Middle School Career Day

Rancho Cordova, CA - March 18, 2009: The staff at Mills Middle School held a career event that allowed students the opportunity to meet professionals from various industries. The purpose was to introduce them to people who will help them see the future possibilities that education creates for them. "Career day was made to encourage students to explore different career options," explained Mr. Mejia, Mills Middle School Counselor, "The event was a success, all the speakers showed up as planned and the students really enjoyed it. Among their favorites were the veterinarian, the female police officer and the cosmetology speakers."
The students' exposure included the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department, a trade school, MTI and multiple business owners. Some of the volunteers on hand to speak at the Career Day were: Chris K (107.9 The End), Officer Zach Hatch (Sacramento County Sheriff's Department), Jen Paige (Paul Mitchell, MTI), Georgette Shield (Vet Student, UC Davis), Officer Shelly Hodgkins (Sacramento County Sheriff's Department), Heather McGowan (L.E.E.D., Communications), Steve Bird (Casella Lighting), and Bobby Uppal (B. Uppal Insurance Agency, Inc.) "I was excited to be a part of Mills Middle School's Career Day," said Bobby Uppal, "It's a great opportunity to get students interested in what I do and show them the benefits of being your own boss." Bobby had the pleasure of speaking with one of the multi-cultural classes. "I felt like they were able to connect with the information and values that I was expressing to them," explains Bobby whom came to the U.S. just over 10 years ago.
This event was a very positive influence for the students. "[The students] were exposed to a variety of careers that they may never have considered before," said Mrs. Shippy, a counselor at Mills Middle School. "In these times of economic crisis, it is nice to do something enjoyable without it costing anyone too much." Mills Middle School was able to show the students that there are still people who are doing well during the economic downturn; this type of influence is the first step to creating a better future through our youth.

Do you go that extra mile for your employees?

Today was the birthday of an employee of mine. She does not have a window like everyone else in the office, so we went the extra step to create one for her!

Except her window is actually the view from a beach in Cancun, not his rainy weather.

I am a firm believer that making sure your employees are happy at the job they perform day-in and day-out will result in a better quality of work.

Here are a few tips that I can give that others will appreciate and place systems like these to better the work environment.
