Employee Appreciation Day
A university, at its core, is about people.
We could not serve our function without all of the people who choose to spend their time and effort making Cal Poly Humboldt an enjoyable place to learn, grow, and work.
All of us in Human Resources would like to say ‘thank you’ for all the work each of you do every day to make our campus a better place. Your passion for our students and our campus is noticed and greatly appreciated.
We encourage everyone to express their gratitude for one another. When we honestly and genuinely appreciate other people and their contributions to our lives, this creates a deeper shared bond between us. In turn, this often leads to a stronger friendship or a more supportive work relationship and more opportunities to collaborate and work together in the future.
Thank you for being part of our university!

Who Moved My Cheese?: An A-Mazing Way to Deal with Change in Your Work and in Your Life
by Spencer Johnson
Most people are fearful of change because they don't believe they have any control over how or when it happens to them. Since change happens either to the individual or by the individual, Johnson shows us that what matters most is the attitude we have about change. Who Moved My Cheese? is a simple parable that reveals profound truths about change. It is an amusing and enlightening story of four characters who live in a "Maze" and look for "Cheese" to nourish them and make them happy. Who Moved My Cheese? allows for common themes to become topics for discussion and individual interpretation.
The book is available in the Human Resources library and at the HSU library.
