His message was the most popular until our PTO quiz came along and nudged him out. Sorry, Chris! It’s hard to compete when PTO is on the line.  Our professional growth series was launched in January and parts one and three remained in our top ten most popular blogs all year. February We announced the name of our newsletter and blog, The Hub. Then we showed some love when we published Perks that Pay, which has remained the 3rd most read blog this year. March March kicked off our first of 10 monthly PTO quizzes and the race to win five days of PTO was on. Coincidentally, the PTO Quiz was the #1 visited blog every month. We also launched our employee promotions & kudos blog, which has been the 2nd most read article this year. April With so much info shared in the first quarter, we had a recap. May We kicked off our summer road trip series with our team in Alpharetta, GA and this has been the 6th most read blog in 2016. Way to go, ya’ll! June Our summer road trip visited the folks in Overland Park and has been the 4th most read blog all year. July July was a busy time because we visited three offices – Phoenix, Denver and Bellingham. August Who knew the dog days of summer would bring in such a popular contest? Coworkers from all offices submitted photos of their pets and you voted. September Jobs 101 was launched and in just three months has become the 5th most read page all year. October A guest blog was quite popular in October when 4 simple techniques were shared for successful employee engagement. November This was the first month that our PTO Quiz was not number one.
