Thanksgiving is tomorrow which calls for a day of relaxing, good food and time with your awesome family. These are all great things to be thankful for, but while you’re still at work today, what are you thankful for there? Did you know happy workers are 12% more productive than the average worker? If you have a great team, awesome leadership, and a job you enjoy doing, it’s likely you’re a happy worker and more productive than average. In the spirit of the season, find out what the Red Branch Team is thankful for while they’re at work.

“I’m extremely thankful to have never wished I didn’t have to go to work the next day. The entire Red Branch team is ineffable, because I can’t imagine a better group of people to collaborate with. I’m thankful for the development opportunities Maren and Jeremy provide because I feel like I’m constantly learning and developing my skills – something that is vital to my existence!” – Shaley McKeever

“I’m thankful to work for a company that gives people the chance to use all of their skills, not just one or two of them. Everything is an asset to Red Branch and every talent is used.” – Cody Tromler”

As well as leadership, the team employees are working with can make them really happy to go into work in the morning or totally dread it. Everyone wants to be at least a little happy to see their coworkers, right? Not only being happy to see them is important but also developing relationships. 89% of workers say work relationships matter to their overall quality of life. That’s great news for us because our team just so happens to really like each other.

“Every day I walk the halls of RBM, I am thankful to simply hold a position here and grow professionally doing something I enjoy. I’m thankful for the valuable feedback from not only the two Big People Upstairs (Maren and Jeremy) but also to be able to collaborate with each member and watch our projects blossom into something incredible. I never thought at 22 I would be developing my own department with a super cool groupa creative minds. Not to mention the very generous work/life balance perks we have the privilege of enjoying here. And also, I wear leggings to work sometimes. Which is tight.” – Noelle Murphy

“I am thankful that everyone here takes pride in their work and works their butts off!” – Maren Hogan

“I am thankful for the leadership at RBM that doesn’t stop at ‘good enough’ and the amazing and talented team that I get to collaborate with and learn from on a daily basis. The opportunity to work and learn with these individuals is great by itself, but I also get to do this while finishing my education and that is something for which I am very thankful.” – Shalaina Ocasio
