And why they suck

A business is nothing without its people. That’s why so many companies place such importance on providing their employees with the best benefits, perks, and support to help them thrive in their positions.  

“Team building activities” is a phrase that often makes people roll their eyes. It calls to mind silly or embarrassing games that no one in your office wants to do.  

From clothing boutiques to local restaurants and home décor shops, you probably have at least one favorite small business that you love and support in your city or town—and hopefully more than one! With over 30 million small shops and organizations making up the U.S. economy, it’s no wonder that Americans are so passionate about their local businesses.  

If you’ve ever needed assistance at the office, you likely know exactly who to turn to. Their job title may vary, but they can always help with almost any task and ensure that the office runs like a well-oiled machine.  

Let’s face it, life can get busy. From work responsibilities to family needs and paying bills, sometimes it can feel like you’re just bouncing from one thing to the next. Self-care? Who has time for that? 

Corporate gifting is a time-honored tradition for all kinds of companies, from Real Estate agents to financial institutions, and for good reason. Having a well-executed corporate gifting strategy for your clients and employees can result in huge ROI for your business—if it’s done correctly.  

Tax season is almost over, and the CPA in your life may soon be coming up for air for the first time in weeks or even months.  

A “day of happiness” may sound like one of these silly holidays that trend on social media, such as National Taco Day. But the International Day of Happiness is so much more.  

Is your business ready for Employee Appreciation Day? The first Friday in March, companies often celebrate by offering gifts, giving time off, or hosting an employee appreciation event. This is the perfect opportunity to express gratitude to your employees, whether you are in leadership, management, or human resources.
