Surprise Surprise - it is Random Day Surprise in SAP Community! As today, March 1st, marks World Compliment Day, the SAP Community team would like to give a shout-out to our members because we appreciate you and want to compliment you on your engagement, contributions, and achievements.
We dedicate our Random Day Surprises to (fun) global holidays. Since 2003, people from all around the world are celebrating World Compliment Day to bring a smile to the face of others.
There is yet another National Compliment Day that originated in the US. As we are a global community though, we are celebrating World Compliment Day that has its origin in Europe, to be more specific in the Netherlands. From there it found its influence in Belgium, in Norway and ultimately all around the globe.
World Compliment Day addresses the basic human need for recognition and appreciation. It is just about consciously reflecting on what someone in your environment does well and letting that person know he/she is sincerely appreciated for that.
Alternatively, you can surely also celebrate:
- National Fruit Compote Day (USA)
- National Pig Day (USA)
- National Peanut Butter Lover’s Day (USA)
- National Plan a Solo Vacation Day (unofficial, generic holiday)
- National Horse Protection Day (USA)
For instance, our team (SAP Community & Influencers) starts our weekly team call with a round of High Five's, an idea that got initiated and brought to us by svea.becker. We give a ✋🏽 to a colleague who helped us out during the last week, went the extra mile to support us with a project, who was extra supportive with a task or just made us smile 🙂
I personally like to see that someone is appreciative of my work and sees the little things. Who doesn't like to be complimented and valued for what one does?
❓ Is there any procedures or daily/weekly routines that you are doing in your team(s)?
❗️ Get active today with the following activities (and while doing so you'll earn a badge today):
Compliment three fellow community members
If you manage to compliment just three people today, you will have accomplished everything this holiday has set out to do - spread positivity and joy! Use the comment section below to tag your fellow community member that you want to compliment today.
Get creative with your compliments
Try writing a nice comment/note. Go into detail and be detailed as to why the community member you choose to compliment is so appreciated.
Say thank you
If a situation may not warrant a compliment, offer a genuine “Thank you.” That and smile can make a person feel good, and that’s what this day is all about.
We wanted to take today's opportunity to compliment some of you who accomplished great achievements during the last month. So shout-out to you, because you did a great job on getting awarded the following tricky badges for our missions:
Diligent Solver February 2022
Swift Solver III
Hitchhiker
An additional resource for you to use to kick-off World Compliment Day is our Groups Coffee Corner.
Let's use this thread <You are appreciated> going forward and let's continue complementing and appreciating each other also on other occasions. For instance, any time when a community member helps you and/or was particularly nice to you, @mention them in the thread and let them know what you're thankful for.
