Our guest today is Aaron Rubens, Harvard Business graduate and founder of Kudoboard, a workplace appreciation solution for special occasions, company events, and shout-outs.
Listen as Aaron talks about the retention of administrative professionals and creating a culture of appreciation in the workplace.
Questions For Aaron Include:
- What can a card mean to a colleague? Tell me why are cards expressing a happy birthday/congrats on a promotion/sympathy and other occasions an important gesture?
- Your primary competitor is simply physical greeting cards, though you do have some digital competitors like GroupGreeting. How do you stand out?
- Who do you work with? Where does the HR department fit in?
- The Great Resignation: Why is it so essential to do whatever is possible to ensure employee satisfaction and a positive/attractive company culture?
- We’re living in a new era of hybrid and remote work. Can you offer some ways to keep remote teams connected?
About Kudoboard
Kudoboard is an online group card for honoring employees and recognizing special milestones both inside and outside of the workplace. Users can create a Kudoboard, invite others to collaborate, and post short or detailed messages, GIFs, photos, or videos to commemorate a special occasion. The more formulaic an appreciation initiative is, the less authentic it feels to the employees. Employees need specific and consistent recognition from their workplace peers and leaders. When times are difficult, Kudoboard brings people together and helps them press forward.
