Many of us spend the majority of our waking hours working alongside colleagues and coworkers. If so, we know how special those relationships can be. Day after day, we set aside our personal lives to focus on the important tasks at hand. It takes some serious teamwork to meet the demands each day brings. But making the workday enjoyable, rewarding and satisfying is another thing. Having colleagues you care for, trust and respect is truly a gift. For those lucky enough to have meaningful relationships with peers and co-workers, cheers, peers: employee appreciation day is 3/5.
