Socks and sentiment

Can some carefully crafted words and clothing have an impact on individuals in a company? I believe they can.

At Precision Planting, we decided to create some branded socks as a small internal employee gift and along with it put together a note to give to all employees. The note was carefully crafted with the idea in mind to remind us of the culture that exists within our company. Below is what we want our employees to remember:

When things get tough, and they will, remember we...
“Do hard things.”

When you fail, and you will, learn something new and remember we’re...
“Fast to fail.”

And here’s a bonus. When you see someone fail, remember we’re…
“Faster to give grace.”

When your co-workers go through challenges, and they will, remember we...
“Care about each other.”

Thanks for doing the hard things, being fast, and for caring deeply for each other.

So, yeah I believe a little sentiment and a pair of socks can make a difference. And I believe it already is. It gets people talking... talking about things that are important to keep the culture that our company was founded on and doing those things as well.
