Rideau is doing its best to be socially responsible and green.
My brother Stephen heads up our CSR initiatives and some of his projects were recently featured in a French business weekly.
Anyways, the other day I had a meeting with a few of Rideau’s techies and the conversation turned to some of these green initiatives both internal and external. One of my young colleagues had a very interesting idea… he felt the best way of going green was to eliminate awards and use verbal praise in its place. That might be a bit radical for some, but it sheds an interesting light onto how Gen Y thinks.
Verbal praise is important. Use it!
