How do you like to be recognized for your accomplishments?
We love to show recognition and appreciation for the hard work that our store associates do day in and day out -- after all, their work is the foundation of everything else we do here at Office Depot. From our recognition programs for a job well-done to the simple, everyday ways our managers show their appreciation, we want every employee to know that their hard work has been noticed. Talk to the interviewer about ways that you enjoy receiving acknowledgement for your accomplishments.
"I had a manager a few years ago who made it a point to write very simple, hand-written notes for her employees when she noticed that we had performed particularly well, from a great customer interaction to completion of a huge project. Every once in awhile, the notes would also include a small gift card to a local restaurant or shop -- just a small token of appreciation. That was the best recognition I could hope for; I don't like to be in the spotlight, so public recognition is a nightmare for me, but knowing that my manager took the time to say thank you in such a personal way made a huge impact on me."
