The SHRM 2014 Annual Conference and Exposition is just weeks away, and we, at Baudville, are getting ready to talk all things employee recognition with the scores of HR Superstars who stop by booth 1379. This year, we're focusing on how all of the moments in a person's career matter and how Baudville can help you give them the fanfare they deserve. From the first day on the job, to important milestones, to everyday wins, to that final day of retirement, you can make an impression that will make a difference. On morale. On performance. On engagement. On everything.

Baudville is no ordinary place to work – we drop our executives into dunk tanks, pour our hearts into philanthropic ventures together, and wear jeans for a good cause. For these reasons, our team members are no plain Janes or even Stevens either – they're super stellar rock stars! Get to know them one-by-one and we're certain you'll agree.

Have you recently given or received Baudville products and can't get enough of them? If so, our summer contest is perfect for you!  

It's interesting: challenge is a word that often has a connotation of difficulty, struggle, and frustration. We face challenges. We overcome challenges. But we rarely welcome them, unless, that is, we're at work. In the professional world, one of the top desires of most workers is be challenged—because it makes our days more interesting, more rewarding, more satisfying, and, ultimately, more successful.

Allison mentioned in one of her previous blog posts, the 'ville's fourth-annual Spring Fitness Challenge has begun and is now well under way. We are just past the half-way point and as a team captain, I must say everyone is doing an incredible job!

The company refrigerators are packed with fruits and vegetables and healthy lunches every single day. And there is also a buzz around the office about how active and healthy everyone is off the clock, which is amazing! Baudvillians are joining gyms, buying fitness equipment, signing up for races, and getting off their couches to enjoy the great outdoors!
