Innovative Blogs & Ideas

We found some fun, interesting and thought-provoking articles posted in a few blogs we’d like to pass along… I think you’ll find them quite intriguing too.

Alexander Kjerulf is “Chief Happiness Officer” and consults globally to change businesses and work environments from stressful and anxious to places of fun and happiness. Two great posts:

“the top 10 seriously cook workplaces” names and shows workplaces that have the best work atmosphere (including of course Google, but also Red Bull London and MindLab in Denmark, and Pixar. http://positivesharing.com/2006/10/10-seeeeeriously-cool-workplaces/

A thought-provoking post about why employee performance reviews are not only a waste of time, but also damaging to motivation. Tell us your thoughts? http://positivesharing.com/2008/01/performance-reviews-are-a-big-fat-waste-of-time/

Dan Gilbert’s Quicken Loans has a great idea for a blog, called WHat’s the Diff http://www.whatsthediff.com/about.html

“a blog all about the things that make the difference in business and in life. Most of the time, it’s the little things. But every so often it’s something really big. At Quicken Loans, our team members cite “the ability to make a difference” as the biggest key to their job satisfaction. We consider this one of the most important facets of our company and corporate culture. So, we decided to search the planet for things that make a difference. Everyday, we want to celebrate those that make a difference and call out those that don’t. It’s that simple.”

What a great idea for a blog!
