Some days I swear no matter what I do, I just can't seem to get it together. It's like I should have known it was going to be an off day before I even got out of bed! And lately with the chilly weather that's common in Michigan around this time, I really am searching for ways to brighten my day! Luckily I work with super great people that are always looking out for me. I've found that even the littlest gestures can go a long way for me and the people around me. Whether I am having an off day, or a horrible no good very bad day, my co-workers have my back. It creates a positive and encouraging culture I enjoy being around.

Baudville is based in Grand Rapids, Michigan . If you've never been to Michigan's west coast in the summer, I highly recommend it as a summer vacation destination. We've got some of the best fresh water beaches, great dining, and some fantastic boutiques!

Given that it's so awesome outside, it's not easy to spend the few weeks of sun and fun that we have sitting behind our desks! Much to our surprise, a few weeks ago our CEO announced that we are going to pilot a summer hours program in order to enjoy a little more outside time with our friends and loved ones!

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?

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.
