White Collar Workers Get a Raise
Last month, the United States Department of Labor ("DOL") released its final rule regarding changes to the overtime threshold for the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA"). Most notably, the DOL doubled the minimum salary needed to qualify for certain exemptions, from the previous level of $455 a week (or $23,660 a year) to $913 a week (or $47,476 a year).
Weather: HOT. Employee Motivation? NOT.
Not so hot, that is. If your team's productivity, engagement and motivation flag during the summer months, use these fun ideas to rally your troops.
Quote of the Month:

"The simple act of paying positive attention to people has a great deal to do with productivity."

--Tom Peters
