Daily Dose of Dope-A-Meme!
Hey, HR Folks - ever hear of the "happy hormone" AKA Dopamine?
When you say a kind word or thank someone for their work, research shows that it sparks a dopamine release in the other person.
Praised on the job?
You'll get a dopamine hit.

HIGH-KEY Merch Kit!
Hey, teenage parent…do your kids say “high-key”?
For example: “She is high-key crushing on the new kid”
It's often used as an adverb for “very,” “really,” or “clearly.”

HR Folks: Are you/your leaders empathetic bosses?
A recent Businessolver survey found that 93% of employees are more likely to stay with their job if their boss is empathetic.
