Have you ever tried the Peter Skillman Marshmallow Challenge? It's a team-building game that challenges teams to build the tallest possible freestanding tower that can support a marshmallow at its peak. Our Director of Culture and Talent, Meredith Pond, PHR, SHRM-SCP had our team members compete at last week's State of the Company meeting. Here's what we learned—when people focus too much on building a perfect structure (assuming the marshmallow is light) things tend to collapse at the last minute. So, it's important to spot those hidden assumptions in our projects and give prototypes a shot early in the game. Here's a handy link if you'd like instructions to try it with your team too: https://lnkd.in/gmSF7G6 #teambuilding

Branded team recognition gifts need not be confined to desks and office walls. If you’re looking for a way to help your team celebrate their achievements, unwind after a challenging day, and inject some fun, consider opting for custom corn toss games instead of the traditional walnut wall plaques. Corn toss provides a lively and engaging activity that can foster camaraderie and create lasting memories. #teambuilding #recognitiongift #brandedmerch #promotionalmarketing

For this week's #ThrowbackThursday, we are sharing a past article that shares insights that some managers overlook when gaining a new team member. It's important to remember that although your new team member may be experiences, they have never been in that particular role, with those team members, at that particular time of their life and may have never worked for you before. So take a read and share what insights you got from it. Read it here: https://lnkd.in/gbbhRpwS

Teams that play together, stay together. Or something. Well, we believe away days are a great opportunity to connect and deepen working relationships. Ostensibly that’s the purpose of the annual PLOTT summer day out. But also laughter, silliness, bonding and, um … cocktails? This year's destination was lovely Manchester, with a trip to The Cube (as seen on TV) at Urban Playground UK. If you've not seen it, it's a series of challenges set inside a glass cube. Each task involves either problem-solving, concentration, or memory skills. And a good deal of laughter. Isn’t this just what the PLOTT team does every day? Yes, but with cocktails. After all that hard work, it was only right to top it off with Brunch at Turtle Bay. And more cocktails. And more laughter. We’re a happy bunch. In the end our business is all about teamwork. And we love to show them how much their efforts are appreciated. #TeamWork #BrandingWithBalls #BottomlessBrunch

In his Relay AMA from ’20, GoSquared’s co-founder and CEO, James Gill, wrote thoughtfully about the three pivotal junctures that “if made differently would almost certainly mean the company wouldn’t exist today.” Today is a day as great as any to be revisiting those and other insightful notes from James — hiring senior people, being power users of their own product, shaping a profitable, long-run business, and more — as they mark 18 years (👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽) in business: https://lnkd.in/gbBFrFUv

The Memorial Day BBQ is Calling My Name 🍔🌭 I can practically smell the burgers on the grill! The Memorial Day BBQ is calling my name, but if you’re like many of the people I talk with, there are a few things you might need to tackle before being ready to relax: 1. Filling a 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲: It's time to find the right person to step into this crucial position. 2. Delivering some 𝘁𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸: A challenging conversation is on the horizon, but it's essential to help my team grow. 3. Reflecting, 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴, and replanning the rest of the quarter: Taking a step back to refine my game plan so we can crush our goals. Does any of this resonate with you? If so, let's get to work before the summer gets here. Schedule a 𝟵𝟶-𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹 with me today (link in the comments) and together, we'll pave the way for a smoother, carefree summer, where you can focus on enjoying the slower pace that comes with summer. Let's Go Summertime! #ceos #womenentrepreneurs #womenownedbusiness
