There are 6 days left of our Facebook competition, you still have time to win!

SHRM is only a few days away! There has been a lot buzz about SHRM 2014 here at the 'ville over the last couple of months. Our management and sales teams have spent a lot of time prepping and are ready to meet you in Orlando on Sunday, June 22nd!

Now for all of you that think this is a made up holiday, you may be right. But why not let your employees take a little break to have some fun?  According to recessatworkday.com, participating in this holiday could prove to be beneficial to your company. Taking breaks during the work day is important  and can help reduce stress, increase productivity and can even improve employee morale.

Yesterday, the 'ville's management team took a road trip to Detroit to watch our beloved (but struggling) Tigers play in an afternoon game at Comerica Park. Our managers have worked hard all year, putting in long hours and going above and beyond to hit their goals and deadlines. So, needless to say, they have earned an afternoon out of the office to enjoy some sunshine a day at the ballpark.

At Baudville, our philosophy is always to recognize people for going the extra mile or for a job well done with a handwritten note. We believe that the gesture of a handwritten note takes more thought and is perceived to be more sincere.

However, in this fast paced world, you may not always have the chance to put your thoughts down on paper before running out the door or to your next meeting.  That leads me to my next point, how often are you saying thank you to your colleagues via email?
