Over the next couple of months, companies and their  employees will be hitting beaches, theme parks, stadiums, and pavilions for  their summer team events. Is your company one of them? Are you struggling to  get excitement and participation for your event?

Here's a confession: although I've been in the professional world for more than 20 years, I still don't know everything. ::sigh:: Don't tell anyone, OK?

Since I held down the fort here at the 'ville, I couldn't possibly relive our 2014 SHRM experience. So, we recruited one of the SHRM newbies to tell you all about her experience. Readers, meet Lindsey!

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.
