The Best ROI Can Save an Employee’s LIFE!
It was a Friday morning like any other. I was planning my calendar for the following week, wrapping up proposal notes and client deliverables…my normal routine. I popped into my inbox as I typically do on intervals throughout the day and there it was; this amazing email thread. At first glance I thought, “Is this a hoax?”. I’d been copied on an email to one of my employees that read: March 30, 2017 is a day that Ronnie Hinton will never forget. It started out as a regular day at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, where Ronnie served as the Assistant Manager of the fitness center. Things changed quickly when Ronnie realized that an employee working out in the fitness center was in need of medical attention.
“Hi Ronnie, I know that you were one of the few who were instrumental to saving the life of (for privacy reasons we’ve omitted his name) from the UK Office here at NCE, for which we (and his family) are extremely grateful. I gather that you were interested in an update and am delighted to inform you that “ “ was discharged from the hospital last Monday evening and is now convalescing well at home. If all continues to go well then we’re looking forward to having him back in work in about 3 weeks’ time. Many thanks again and enjoy your weekend.”
Kind regards,
