When you stop to think of it, it really is the little things that make you happiest, and even happier when you come across folks that go way above and beyond what they are expected to do simply to make life easier for others.
There’s a state employee named Sharon Ryan from South Jersey who is a supervisor with the state Department of Human Services. When a very well trained and knowledgeable state employee under her, Sue, needed some assistance in a recent matter, Sharon not only came on line and aided the employee in a courteous and professional manner, but also made life a lot easier and more efficient for an elderly taxpayer.
She didn’t have to do it. Above and Beyond Above and Beyond
She could have simply said. Too bad, you don’t qualify. But she pursued it, made a three-way call, followed through, and helped the taxpayer save a bundle of money. A state employee who is worth far more than she’s paid with a dedication uncommonly high. Take the time to thank a helpful state employee.
Then there’s Saltwater Liquors in Bayshore Shopping Plaza in Atlantic Highlands. They have to be the most friendly, innovative, creative and helpful folks in the business. They were given a challenge to come up with a special gift for a special person for a special anniversary and given a price range to fill it. Not only were they inventive and came up with a really fun idea, but they put it together creatively and even threw in some extra help and ideas to make it perfect.
Going above and beyond. It makes others feel very special.
