Haven't we all seen a movie about work and thought "OMG - that's so me!" Or noticed that an on-screen character is the twin of some unfortunate soul in accounting? Oh, yeah... I've daydreamed about smashing our copy machine to bits like the fellas from Office Space and I'm not ashamed to admit it! To find your ultimate workplace movie doppelgänger, take the quiz below:

Just about every office and organization is filled with employees of varying skillsets, levels of passion and work ethics.  You’ve got the “call-in-sickers,” the “come-in-laters,” the “take-long-lunchers,” and then you have the all-around fan-freakin’-tastic employees.  They come into the office every day with their “A-Game” ready to give 110%, all the while exuding positive vibes and mojo.  But somewhere along their journey with your organization, something happens.   Whether they’re burned out or they simply started looking for a new opportunity, they’ve given their two weeks’ notice. 

Behind (or in front of) every worker is a workspace.  Be it piled high with printed spreadsheets, budgets and empty coffee cups, that little cubicle, office or desk is where the daily grind happens.  There’s no arguing that there are times between the hours of 8 and 5 that many people wish they weren’t confined by those aluminum gray walls.  Improve your mojo by instilling a little bit of your personality to your little corner of the corporate world. Check out some of our top tips to make your cubicle a safe haven for productivity.

Whether this is your first time to the Baudville Blog or you’ve been faithfully following along since our humble beginnings, you should know that we’re in the business of appreciation (and helping others do the same).  Recognition around the office doesn’t have to be a premeditated extravagant event.  Sometimes a simple note or high five can give a team member a much needed boost of energy.  Managers obviously play a huge role in the motivation of their direct reports, but not exclusively!  Peer-to-Peer recognition can jumpstart team morale, and promote positive mojo.
