In-person and virtual events are the lifeblood of an organization. They are an opportunity to network, to learn from one another, and to enjoy being in the same place as people who share your interests, whether those interests are personal or professional.

For many associations, a job board is just that, a job board. A place for members and non-members to post jobs, compare listings and apply for work. While this is a fantastic community asset by itself, Job Board is capable of so much more. From encouraging membership to driving enormous revenue growth, Job Board is not only an invaluable resource for members, but also a hidden weapon associations can wield to drive non-dues revenue, expand reach and add value.

[This post talks about some of the concepts in Chapter 1 of Culture Change Made Easy.] A common misconception about culture change is that it’s a top-down directive, something decreed by senior leadership and trickled down through the ranks.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.
