It’s Monday
today, and I just thought of something very meaningful and unforgettable while
I was interning at Go International Group. Every Monday, we will have a meeting
just to recap on the tasks that we have accomplish during the previous week.
The things that we discussed could be the ups and downs when working, the
challenges that we face when completing a task, and many more. Regardless of
the challenges that us colleagues face during the previous week or even the
previous week, we are always grateful on what we have learned regardless
dealing with external parties or internally among us colleagues.
One of the
things that I admire the most about this company is that, whatever mistakes we
do, we all help each other out to fix what we have done wrong. It is because we
are such a small family, we really have each other’s backs like family members.
It’s not all about getting our work done, and that it’s totally on our own
plates. We will always try to help one another based on whatever knowledge we
have learnt. I feel like, the caring culture is very much build in this
company, and I’m so grateful of that. Hence the company’s motto, “Sharing of
Insights, Integrity, Love, and Valour” – their motto truly reflects how the
people are in the company.
Okay, back
to the main point, every week we’ll sit down and have a meeting on Mondays, and
during that meeting, we will all share with each other on what we are grateful
of, and this is a tradition in the company, they call it “The Grateful Monday”.
Every single time when it reaches my turn to share about what I’m grateful of,
I will always answer the same old boring thing, which is “I’m grateful of every
single thing in life”. I appreciate to have interned with my amazing
colleagues, grateful to be given the opportunity to work in the company,
grateful that I am learning, I could go on and on, it’s endless. Therefore, I
truly appreciate of the littlest things that I am able to learn in life. “The
Grateful Monday” tradition is such a wonderful thing!

Hey Noor Alina,
I really like this idea by the Go International Group to have a weekly meeting to reflect on what people have accomplished and any challenges they have faced. This helps to build support and a strong internal community. I also like that they share what they are grateful for, which helps people to focus on the positives and turn a negative or challenge into a learning experience.
It really sounds like you are enjoying and appreciating the work environment that you are in, and I wish you all the best with the rest of your internship,
Alaine.
Hi Alaine,
Thank you so much for your supportive comment! Much appreciated. However, I'm actually done with my internship, it just took me awhile to update on my blog. Procrastinating as usual, haha! I wish you all the best and good luck with your internship as well!

Hi Alina,
A very interesting read. Grateful Monday is indeed a very effective internal communications tool for the employees to have open dialogue with their superiors. It is important to have a conducive working environment in order to achieve better work outcomes. This is especially true for a PR company that requires employees to be creative.
