Warning! Happy employees may rap on the job

Want to see a great example of a happy employee who loves their job? Watch this ...



Think an unhappy employee would ever spend that much time putting together a rap about their employer? I doubt it.

Happy Friday!

Friday funny: Musical tribute to HR, could it get any cornier?

As part of their “Up Close and Personnel Tour,” the award-winning* musical duo of Slimon and Carbunkle created the following video - a musical tribute to the pain and joy of working in human resources.

Before pressing play, I’d like to pass along a serious warning from Dawn Wolfe at george’s employment blawg:

WARNING: If you take your 70’s - era folk music seriously, this video may give you a facial tick. All, others, please refrain from eating or drinking anything while viewing so as not to ruin your company’s computer equipment…




*Award received for finishing 12th place in this year’s Skankleton County Bratwurst Festival Karaoke Contest.

Corporate team building: Sing a song, but forget the video camera

Feeling like morale is down? Looking to perk it back up? Why not sing a song?

There’s an energized, soulful trend on the team building scene - choreographed musical numbers.

According to a recent Workforce article, corporate songs have been used by big business for almost 100 years as to motivate teams and enhance motivation. From a new product launch or to support a company’s core beliefs, a corporate song could be all it takes to get your company re-energized.

IBM, Starbucks and Shell have all used corporate songs encouraging employees to sing as a way to build spirit and morale.

Some companies, like Bank of America, create internal corporate songs, but now forbid video or audio recording in order to keep it off the Internet.

Here’s a video from Ernst & Young, that unfortunately landed on YouTube and a good example of how corporate musical videos can go bad.



And, another one from Bank of America on KnowHR is featured in the post "Never, Ever Write an M&A Theme Song." Good advice, at least in this case.

I can't decide which of these two videos is better (or worse?). Take a look, you decide.
