CE0 of Major Company Handwrites Over 9,000 Holiday Cards a Year for His Employees
According to Business Insider, CEO Sheldon Yellen personally hand writes over 9,000 cards a year for his employees — and according to him, all the hard work really pays off in the end.
Yellen is the CEO of Belfor Holdings, a large company that aids in disaster relief efforts and in property restoration. They operate domestically as well as in many foreign countries.
According to Business Insider, Yellen has handwritten a holiday and birthday card to each and every single one of Belfor’s employees since 1985 — before he even became CEO. Today, he is estimated to write over 9,200 of these cards a year.
And it isn’t just birthday and Christmas that provoke handwritten notes from Yellen — he is also scrupulous about anniversary cards, thank you cards, notes to employees who are sick, and many more. The project has become incredibly time consuming for Yellen, who brings large stacks of stationery and writing utensils everywhere he goes, including on planes.
In fact, the work has become so time consuming that Yellen told Business Insider that when his company acquires new business and new companies, he worries less about the company’s financial figures than he does how many new Christmas cards he has to write.
