Bugle #11: Hockey Has Great Core Values

It’s Friday! The name Friday comes from the Old English Frīġedæġ, meaning the “day of Frige”, a result of an old convention associating the Old English goddess Frigg with the Roman goddess Venus, with whom the day is associated in many different cultures. Now that that’s out of the way, it’s time to check out the latest and greatest HR and policy management articles we found – just for you! Happy Easter and/or Passover!

Article of the Week: This week’s highlighted piece (look for the below) is about hockey players. We love hockey here at Blissbook. The core values that make you successful in hockey will make you successful at life. Courage. Teamwork. Humility. Toughness. Resilience. Selflessness. Business leaders could take a lesson from the sport.

Where else do you see your business’s core values in action?

Blissbook Bugle #6

TGIF! One more week gone forever. Since we’ll never get it back, let’s look ahead and get better for tomorrow. We plowed through a field full of HR and policy management articles this week so we could harvest (see what I did there?) the best stuff for you. Here’s hoping your Saturday and Sunday are Blissful!

Article of the Week: The subject of this week’s highlighted piece (look for the below) is inspired by the recent Day Without a Woman protests in that the article’s headline has the word “Woman” in it. Hey, I didn’t say it was a strong connection. Also, the issue shouldn’t be a gender one – we all hold ourselves back in some way from time to time.
