SCPA Inspires Daily Gratitude Through Annual Thanksgiving

TAGUIG, METRO MANILA – Sanitary Care Products Asia, Inc. (SCPA) held its annual thanksgiving celebration on August 22, 2024, under the theme “Practicing Gratitude Daily.” Hosted by the accounting department, the event aimed to inspire employees to incorporate gratitude into their everyday lives. 

Now in its second year, SCPA’s annual thanksgiving celebration is a tradition that reflects the company’s commitment to fostering a positive and appreciative work environment. We believe that by practicing gratitude, employees can better appreciate the opportunities and challenges they encounter, leading to increased job satisfaction and overall well-being. 

This year, SCPA expressed its thanksgiving to its employees by treating them to delicious coffee and pastries, as well as a DIY drip coffee set, which is in line with the celebration’s cafe theme. 

The program also began with a reflective session where employees revisited the Gratitude Jar from the previous year. By reading the notes they had written and placed in the jars they were reminded of the blessings they had received and the positive impact of cultivating a grateful heart. Additionally, the team shared a Grateful playlist on Spotify, featuring songs that inspired feelings of gratitude among the employees.

To further deepen the understanding of gratitude, SCPA invited best-selling author and Gallup Strengths certified coach Jason Lo, creator of the YOUnique Personalities. In his talk, titled “Thanksliving: The Supernatural Lifestyle of Thanksgiving,” Lo emphasized the importance of practicing gratitude to enhance overall well-being and achieve a more fulfilling life. 

Key takeaways from Lo’s talk included the realization that we often overlook our blessings, the power of changing our perspective, and the necessity of cultivating a strong set of values. He also emphasized the importance of practicing gratitude as a remedy for ingratitude, which he referred to as the heart’s amnesia.  

By adopting a grateful mindset and shifting our focus, we can transform challenges into opportunities and experience a more positive outlook. Life is more than just problems, after all. There are blessings that we must choose to notice and be thankful for.

To put the lesson into practice, Lo had the employees put stickers on the colleagues that they appreciated. Team SCPA enjoyed going around and expressing their gratitude to their teammates by applying stickers on their faces or clothes. By the end of the day, everyone clocked out with big smiles and hearts full of gratitude.

SCPA is committed to making its annual thanksgiving celebration a tradition that continues to inspire and uplift employees. As the company grows and evolves, the celebration will adapt to meet the changing needs and interests of its workforce, while always maintaining its core focus on gratitude and appreciation.
