When you’re looking for ways to increase your employees’ well-being, your thoughts probably turn to medical benefits, steps challenges, and perks like healthy snacks in the kitchen.

One of the key ingredients to organizational culture is its stories. At this year’s WorkHuman conference hosted by Globoforce, one of the sessions focused on effective storytelling. The speaker mentioned four principles from Steve Denning that are essential to effective storytelling: Be true. Be positive. Be succinct. Show growth. As I was thinking of these principles, it reminded me of the opportunities we have to engage employees with our storytelling.

We’re all familiar with assessments that show your employees’ strengths and where they fall on a work style or behavior chart. Regardless of the model you’re using, know that people typically don’t have just one style.

Workplace romances tend to be the stuff of legend – either because a department (or entire company) got dragged into the drama, or the couple lives happily ever after. Rarely is there a middle ground. For that reason, many companies discourage interoffice dating. Period. But love, or like, sometimes happens anyway. What do and don’t you allow?

As always, this year’s HR Technology Conference and Expo was a huge success. Great conversations in the expo hall, knowledgeable speakers, and a fun venue…what more can you ask for?! I wanted to share with you a few quick shots about my trip. I have to start with my airplane reading. Sean Glaze sent me his book, “ Rapid Teamwork.” The book immediately grabbed my attention because the story includes the central characters going on a whitewater rafting trip, which I love because I’ve actually done
