I had the honor to attend a Top Workplaces Awards Breakfast today, and what that really means is I was a representative of my company, which had been chosen as a pretty awesome place to work.

Here’s the agenda. All the speakers were dynamic and had really great stories to tell of inspirational things happening right now in our businesses, and why they have hope for the future.

Perhaps it’s no surprise that employees tend to stick around in workplaces that they feel actually care about them as people.

And we all got a gift bag!

Swag

It was a great chance to hang out with the other coworkers selected from my company, and to hear what other companies did to make sure they nurtured an open, collaborative environment.

A fun, informative, and tasty event all in one!
