Nearly a decade ago, I convinced my wife to sell everything we owned, stuff the rest of our belongings in storage, and buy one-way tickets to New Zealand when our daughter was 10 months old to take a careercation. While living out of two suitcases and visiting six countries, I was inspired to start TINYpulse with the simple idea that happier employees make happier parents, partners, children, ...
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) efforts have really accelerated and taken off in recent years. In a 2021 survey of over 400 human resources managers, over 50% rated DE&I as a top priority for their organizations.

Employees who were hired during the COVID-19 pandemic are struggling to get connected in the social fabric and culture of organizations in ways that may not be easily observed. This cohort is providing 34% less peer recognition than their counterparts from the previous year.

It’s Monday morning and you roll into the office, fully caffeinated and brimming with hope of a productive week (ok, I exaggerate-- you’re probably half-asleep and still daydreaming about your weekend).

TINYpulse has announced the winners of the third annual TINYawards. TINyawards are given to organizations which have exceptional scores for their industry within TINYpulse's employee engagement platform. Telefluent Communication Inc. (Renewal by Andersen) won Happiest Organization and Most Recognition 2017 within the competitive Telecommunications category. This means that they had the highest average employee happiness score within Telecommunications. It also means that their employees sent out the highest volume of Cheers for Peers per capita within their category in 2017 . I connected with Christina Schmit, Director of Talent Acquisition for Renewal by Andersen. Here’s what she has to share:
Project management can be a tough job. No matter how you approach it, coordinating people and resources to achieve a common goal is challenging. Sometimes it can feel like herding cats. Other times it can feel like chasing a runaway train. But when all the pieces come together perfectly (...or close enough), it can feel like conducting a beautiful symphony.
Committed to Culture from Day One When Chris Izquierdo and David Cronin started DevFacto in 2007, people told them it wouldn’t work. They were investing too much in their employees. How could they spend that much time and money on employee happiness and expect to stay in business? Clearly, this would be DevFacto’s downfall. Eleven years later and 125 employees strong, DevFacto obviously did something right.
Angie and her husband, Randy, wanted to build a better business. One that people were excited to show up to everyday and lived up to the core values they had imagined.

Today, they offer a variety of products that meet a diverse range of needs. Current brands include felix + iris, Sunglass Warehouse, and Readers.com.
