All the great conversation and thinking about topics related to people/business/culture inspired by the SHRM Conference prompted me to pull together this quick list of several Blue Papers (which are our version of white papers, but if you’ve seen our Blue Boxes around, you’ll know why we chose blue instead!) we’ve published.
These papers will get you thinking – and maybe even implementing – which is a good thing given the critical nature of the topics involved!

We’ve added several new ‘Blue Papers’ (our version of white papers) for you on a wide variety of topics. None of them are out to sell our products – they are 100% useful, actionable content for your organization. Topics range from ‘Getting Started with Word of Mouth Marketing’ to ‘Memory Training’ and ‘Wellness Programs’ to ‘Teamwork’. We’ve got more than 40 of them out there – all free and no strings attached (won’t even ask for your email!). Many of them are available as MP3’s and you can subscribe to the podcast versions on iTunes.
Have a look (or listen!) and let me know what you think. If there’s a topic you’d like us to cover let me know that too!
