Chief of Staff at Kudoboard | Processes, people + messaging

Nice mention of Kudoboard in the WSJ yesterday. As companies move to remote, hybrid, distributed teams, the office birthday party is slowly dying. And good riddance. Let's be real, who really has fond memories of listening to their coworkers sing "Happy Birthday" in a conference room? Personally, I prefer work anniversary celebrations over birthday celebrations at work anyway. A work anniversary is a great time to come together as a team and celebrate a person's contributions. It allows a more genuine outpouring of gratitude than a birthday. Plus it's more inclusive. What do you think? Office birthday parties or nah? (Side note: With Kudoboard's new audio posts, you can still sing to your remote/hybrid coworkers if that's your jam 😆 )

Our Head of People, Renae Shaw, discusses Search Laboratory's position on hybrid office working and why flexibility and trust are crucial to a positive working environment. "By extending trust, the result is empowerment. and engagement. Without the foundations a positive working culture provides, I can see why there would be concerns. Withholding flexibility may work as a short-term strategy but only at the detriment of being able to attract, retain, and motivate in the long term. Quality of work and relationships has been our focus, not productivity." #TheDrum #hybridworking #backtotheoffice #flexiblework

From the nicotine-stained cubicles in offices of the 90s to the biophilic open plan offices of today, a lot has changed in the last 25 years of the #Workplace. Rachel Houghton reflects on those changes, and with more firms mandating time back in the office, asks: "Are we judging people by the physical footprint they have in the office, or are we judging by productivity?"
