'If I had to use one word to describe the energy on the show floor at this year’s HR Tech, it would be this: dynamic. Remembering our first HR Tech back in 2011, and reflecting on the show this year, the first thing that strikes you is how much the Expo floor has changed because of mergers and acquisitions.

'Celebrating a service anniversary is an exciting time for any employee. I admit I even get a little excited knowing that my ten-year anniversary is around the corner. How an organization chooses to celebrate the anniversary directly impacts the employee’s perception of the value the company places on them.
