Recognise This! – Regardless of nationality, a day of thanks is a gift. Thank you!

At this time of year, I know my American readers celebrate an important and wonderfully themed event – Thanksgiving.   The name of this event says it all, and it encourages us here on this side of the Atlantic (I’m Irish, based in Dublin, for new readers) to pause and think of everything we have to be thankful for.   Much has happened in the past 12 months, many good things, some challenging. But above all else we are here at this time, able to reflect upon it, and know that we are thankful to be here, with our wonderful colleagues and family, and just to say to each other “thank you.”

One thing I’m grateful for this year are the many official accolades our team has received for being a great place to work, including our most recent naming for the second year in a row to the Boston Globe’s Top Places to Work list. Top Places to Work identifies the most progressive companies in Massachusetts based on employees’ opinions about company leadership, compensation and training, diversity/inclusion, career development, family-friendly flexibility, as well as values and ethics. I extend many congratulations to my Boston-area colleagues and team members on this achievement.

Today I’d also like to say “thank you” for your thoughts and contributions that encourage me to make Recognise This! an informative and useful blog with every post.

What are you most grateful for? At work? At home?
