Why Celebrating Birthdays Builds Stronger Teams

Team birthdays

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.
