Celebration Of Black History Month

Black History Month is an amazing time to celebrate of the contributions & progress that Black American leaders in our country have made to the benefit of all Americans.

February is known as Black History Month. This is a time that many people all over the world take time to celebrate some of the greatest heroes and leaders around the world. Even though this month is used to acknowledge these great accomplishments, I personally try to celebrate the great success stories of Black Americans throughout the year. I believe that diversity is very important in today’s society and is needed in our world. Throughout black history we can witness a display of courage, strength, and tenacity that was and still is, trailblazing and life changing.

Celebrating Black History Month, and any other month about diversity, can boost employee morale and build up your team. When I speak to and coach managers on diversity, I encourage them to participate and allow activities in their departments that will make employees feel welcomed and good about themselves. When employees believe that they are valued by their employer, they are more than likely to improve their performance. Companies that invest in their staff, managers, and family culture of their company have better output and tend to make their targets.

Therefore, I want to encourage all of you to take the time to celebrate the diversity and Black History month. Invest in your company programs, activities, and people to show that diversity is important and that you care. I believe that many managers, directors, and CEO’s will be happy to learn that as they invest in their staff, that their staff will begin to invest back into them.

Happy Black History Month!
