Why Celebrating Birthdays Builds Stronger Teams
Today, we celebrated the birthdays of four of our October legends — Tim, Adrian, Gelo and Joshua. Once a month, we stop the entire factory to come together, share cake, hand out cards, and sing happy birthday.
At B & C Plastics, these moments are about far more than cake. They’re about people — connection, appreciation, and culture. Because strong companies are built by strong teams, not just great systems or strategies.
Here’s why we make it a priority — and why it matters for every business:
It boosts morale. Celebrating milestones releases serotonin and oxytocin — the chemistry of belonging, motivation and trust.
It drives retention. When people feel seen and valued, they stay longer, grow faster, and lead from within.
It builds culture with purpose. Shared moments create memories, strengthen identity, and remind everyone that results start with relationships.
This is the B & C way — Lead with People. Create with Purpose. Perform with Excellence. Protect What Matters.
If you’re building a team, don’t just focus on what they do. Celebrate who they are.
