Some people just don’t know how to give positive employee feedback. They want to give positive employee feedback, but they go “blank” when trying to be clever, witty or uplifting. The following is a sample list of possible short, positive employee feedback messages that could be handwritten or spoken.

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!

But I am trying to change and not so easily get my proverbial tinsel in a tangle. 

If you’re like me and looking to make some changes in the new year, whether it’s managing stress, getting healthier, spending less money, or <insert New Year’s Resolution here>, these articles will give you some helpful tips! 

It’s time to put a bow on 2014. As we bring it to a close, let’s take a look at the Top 5 Employee Recognition Blog Posts according to you, our faithful readers!
