“Ahhhhhh” was the collective utterance of those departing the Las Vegas heat (112 degrees when I left!?!) and, while most were ready to say goodbye to the oppressive temps, we were not leaving empty handed. The annual Society of Human Resource Management Conference is the largest gathering of HR professionals on the planet (their words, but I am guessing based on my experience they’re accurate). And, true to its claim, it delivered astronomical insights to both those attending and soaking in the sessions and those of us manning the tradeshow floor…

It's hard to fathom another year is in the books—perhaps it’s the lack of snow here in Michigan that has me surprised that 2015 is upon us, or maybe it’s that I just don’t want to admit that I am another year older. Whatever the cause for my surprise, many of us become a bit reflective as we wind down the year and prepare for some much-needed time away—and, we at Baudville, have a great deal to reflect on and be thankful for!

In fact, early this month, we had our very own year-end celebration and let’s just say we like to have a little fun (and games). The best part, however, is the awards we present. That’s right: even people who work for a recognition company get jazzed about getting awards—and, as I often say, it is very much as fun to give as to receive! 

"I think Tom Hanks said that was really cool."
