Excuses, excuses! There are always a lot of them when it comes to neglecting employee recognition. “I don’t know what to do.” Or, “I don’t have the budget.” Or, the whopper with fries and a shake: “I don’t have time.”

Usually our Digital Marketing Coordinator, Kaleigh is busy blogging or clogging your social feed, but we caught her in the act - the act of recognition that is! Our favorite thing to do around the 'Ville is to recognize each other on a job well done. And that's exactly what Kaleigh did to say thanks to a fellow co-worker last week. 

Every year, we celebrate the women who have made us who we are today...Moms.

This year, I think we need to celebrate the unsung hero of this special day. The one who cleans up your messes, and provides a shoulder to cry on, an ear to bend, and special ways to take care of you throughout the day.

You know who I'm talking about. It's your Office Mom.

This month, Baudville has kicked off our annual fitness challenge – perfect time for summer right around the corner! A light bulb went off in my brain: this is the perfect opportunity to start my own journey and still be held accountable by all of my co-workers participating in the Baudville challenge. Besides, who doesn’t get a little more motivation from healthy competition?

We just started our fifth-annual spring fitness challenge and, I have to admit, keeping it exciting has been a challenge itself! We knew our seasoned employees would be looking for a new twist and The Bod Squad—our team that coordinates all things wellness—was feeling a little ho-hum about the existing program, too. We put our heads together, and, along with some healthy encouragement from Brad, our CEO, we proposed some changes that we hoped would get everyone energized like we were in 2010.
