One thing is for certain at our company – we all sit a lot. It can’t be helped. After all, we’re office workers. But there are steps each of us can do throughout the day to give our bodies a break from being immobile. And since this topic isn’t the most exciting to write or read about, we found videos prepared by other organizations who found a way to entertain while educating. But before we roll tape, we want to make sure that everyone is aware that you can schedule an ergo evaluation with HR to see how best to set up your work station to maximize your time while on your gluteus maximus.

How to handle people with tact and skill. How to build your team by maximizing their strengths while providing resources for their challenges. How to be the leader your team wants to follow.

All of these challenges and more have been topics in Arrowhead’s first-ever leadership training series, both for new managers and also as refresher classes for long-time managers or supervisors.

We’re kicking off our company's summer road trip in the Southeast and featuring our two offices – Tampa and Alpharetta. Let’s meet the people who make these places hum and find out more about their regions.
Tampa's claim to fame:

• Miles and miles of beaches stretching around Tampa Bay
• Home to the Buccaneers and ACM’s Personal Property Claims Division

You keep a tight rein on your monthly budget, making sure to save some cash for a rainy day. And you’re savings-savvy, having monthly amounts removed from your paycheck for retirement and savings.

Welcome to The Hub's central location for applause and accolades for all employees. It's nice to be recognized, and what better way to give a shout out than on our company's blog? Check out this all-star lineup of the movers and shakers at Arrowhead, Bellingham, OnPoint, ACM and its companies.

Thank you to all of our wonderful volunteers and donors! You have made the first quarter initiatives a huge success. Take a look at how your office location made a difference in the first three months of 2016:

We just went through the budget process, and if you’re like most profit centers, you’re not yet seeing a pot o’ gold – instead, you’re feeling the pinch in your budget. How can you not only stretch that budget, but get the most return on your spend? How can you capture more producers’ business with your marketing dollars – and keep them coming back, year after year?

The Help Desk team wanted to pass along reminders such as how to manage your email SPAM as well as best practices to send large files and faxes via Outlook. Be sure to download their easy-to-follow step-by-step guides, too.

Imagine this scene:

You found a great fishing hole - one that's teeming with fish just waiting to be caught. What a great day of fishing that was. Now fast forward a few years, and you're headed back to that same spot. Yes, it's been discovered and has become more crowded and it takes longer to lure and catch fish, because your fishing rod is just a no-frills rod and a hook with a little bait. Still, you're positive you'll return home with a cooler full of fish.

And why do I need all three?

Smart marketers know not to put all their eggs in one basket. So when it comes to digital marketing, we need to use all three types: owned, earned and paid. So what’s the difference, why do I need them all, and when should I use them?
