At TFI, serving children and families is at the heart of everything we do, and it wouldn’t be possible without the dedication of our employees. Whether working directly with children, supporting foster and adoptive families, or ensuring our programs run smoothly behind the scenes, every team member plays a vital role in making a difference.
This Staff Appreciation Month, we want to take a moment to say thank you for your commitment, compassion and tireless efforts. The work you do helps create safe, loving homes for children and provides life-changing support for families in need.
The Difference You Make
Every day, TFI employees help ensure that children receive the care and stability they deserve. Your hard work leads to:
- Foster families receiving the training and support they need to provide loving homes.
- Children finding permanency through reunification or adoption.
- Families being equipped with vital resources to navigate their journey.
- Communities growing stronger through your dedication and advocacy.
Your efforts help shape brighter futures for children and families, and that’s something truly worth celebrating.
Ways to Show Appreciation
For TFI leaders and team members looking for ways to celebrate Staff Appreciation Month, here are some meaningful ways to express gratitude:
- Say It Often & Mean It – A simple “thank you” can go a long way. Whether in a team meeting, through a handwritten note or in a personal email, taking the time to recognize employees’ hard work makes a real impact.
- Make It Personal – Recognize individuals for their specific contributions. Highlight the specific ways someone has gone above and beyond or made a difference in a child’s life. A personalized approach helps employees feel truly valued.
- Encourage Peer Recognition – Appreciation doesn’t have to come just from leadership—team members can lift each other up, too. No matter if it’s a quick shout-out in a meeting, an encouraging note or simply acknowledging a job well done, small moments of recognition build a culture of appreciation and teamwork.
- Offer Small but Meaningful Gestures – Sometimes, the little things mean the most. Providing coffee, snacks or a casual team lunch can brighten the day. Even simple gestures like flexible scheduling or a personal note can make a big difference.
- Celebrate as a Team – Use Staff Appreciation Month as an opportunity to foster connection. Whether it’s a virtual gathering or a small token of appreciation, making time to celebrate employees reinforces that their work is valued.
