5 Steps to Building Goodwill in the WorkPlaceby Emily Lang
In the Rotary spirit of goodwill toward all and building better friendships, I’ve been thinking a lot about what is required for both. As co-founder of a strategic communications company, I see every day about the role communication plays in building not just a better workplace, but a better world.
In the business world, we build better relationships, internally and externally, through consistent, honest communication. Successful leaders learn early that effective communication is a two-way process, where all parties feel heard and where their viewpoints are respected and honored through action.
Active listening is not a skill everyone has. In our polarized world, pushing, shouting and shutting others out have become the norm, but none of those tactics are known to build good will. They aren’t good for employee retention either.
A 2023 study by workforce management organization UKG found that 86% of employees feel that diverse voices – and opinions -- aren’t heard fairly in the workplace, with 47% of those surveyed saying underrepresented voices, including those of young and essential workers, are less valued by their employers.

| District 5750 February Newsletter
Dear Rotary District 5750 Members,
Love is in the air this February! As Rotarians we have love for humanity! I think about Rotary’s campaign to End Polio and bringing the gift of health around the world.
As of February 7, our district ranks 17th in our Zone for total cash polio giving at $7,042 and 17th in per capita giving at $4.26. While these numbers are commendable, we know we can do even more. Our goal is to increase our contributions and move up in the rankings, ultimately helping to achieve a polio-free world.
