Kim & Jason say take a Recess!

Every so often you connect with people. Last year while attending the National Speakers Association annual convention I had one of those connections with two great Kids - Kim & Jason. Now in addition to being "a few years" younger than me, they are kids at heart. We share much of the same passions and interests; and their spirit and enthusiasm is something you want to be around. And now they're doing it again - sharing the enthusiasm about Recess At Work Day. So visit the link below and click on the "Show Notes" to hear Kim & Jason's great podcast - and of course about their support of Recess At Work Day! http://kimandjason.com/blog/2008-05-27/ea-31-behind-the-scenes-of-sesame-street.html And spend some time around their site too!

Why Recess?

So people are asking me Why Recess? My response to them is a simple two words.............. Why Not? After all, you work hard and deserve a break every so often. After all, your organization is probably spending manpower trying to figure out how to get employees more engaged and healthier. After all, healthy more engaged employees lead to increased productivity, higher morale, higher retention, lower hiring costs and perhaps (in the long run) lower insurance costs. So Why Not Recess? And why not on June 19th? Start planning today; and don't forget to visit the Recess At Work Day website for ideas on planning your company recess. Now get to work! - Planning Recess, that is.
