At Baudville, we believe every member of our team contributes to our customers’ positive experience with the company. Whether it’s in Customer Service, Distribution, Purchasing, Marketing, or any other department, we all strive to perform for our customers every day. 

So when Customer Service Week rolls around, the entire company joins in the festivities! (This year Customer Service Week is October 3-7!) A team of employees, our Spirit Team, plans a week of activities to celebrate our dedication to excellent customer service. Everyone partakes in games, themed dress up days, and a team lunch. Employees are typically treated to a gift, too, and our Twist Top Tumblers have become a staff favorite! 

August is here which means kids will be heading back to school very shortly! Start the year off right by welcoming back teachers, students, and staff with a small gift and welcome celebration. We’ve compiled our top ten choices for back to school gifts to make your planning easier! 

Thanks for joining me today for our Recognition TV, our 15 minute video webinar! Today I shared tips and ideas to give your recognition program a boost. How do you know when your program is in need of a boost? 

Does this title sound familiar? Gary Chapman, the author of "The Five Love Languages," recently partnered with Dr. Paul White to create a workplace application of his popular relationship book. The new book, just released in August, dives into the value and benefit of making employees, volunteers, and members of your organization feel appreciated. (Disclosure: I was given an advanced copy of the book to review.) 

It’s that time of year! Students will soon be packing their bags and moving back to colleges and universities across the country. Many of those students will also begin or resume jobs and leadership positions on campus.

To get the year started off right, we’ve put together some back to school ideas for Student Affairs Administrators. Some of these ideas are great for the first few weeks of school, to help everyone get back into the groove, and others you can use throughout the school year!
