Checking for and fixing broken links on your organization's website can be tedious and time-consuming, but it's a vital task for anyone who manages a website. You can save time and effort by preventing a lot of those broken links, however. The key is to be a bit strategic when you're choosing which page you'll link to, and double-checking that your link is correctly formed before you ever hit the "Publish" button.

It poked a little bit of gentle fun at moms who carry their babies in slings, and said Motrin could help with any resulting back pain. Pretty quickly, the ads provoked online outrage. The aggrieved stoked their outrage on the social networks, and pretty soon Motrin was in damage control mode.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.

We all have echo chambers. They’re the places where everyone agrees that something is right, and something else is wrong. Where assumptions are unexamined, let alone unquestioned. Where we do things because we always done it that way. Echo chambers are dangerous because they keep blind spots invisible. And blind spots are what stop us every time. They cause the smallest things to become enormous.
