"If you love what you do every day you never have to work another day in your life" Confucius In the end it took leadership and commitment to creating a happy work place - And we go by the simple adage below and we ask can each team member answer 'yes' to this every day. However taking control of your own day, your own happiness and sharing 'good times' with your colleagues will greatly increase your love of what you do. #LiveWhatYouLove For more ideas on great work place recognition: http://www.recogniseeveryday.com.au/
