5 Simple Guidelines for Better Workforce Integration
As an integrated firm, Howard, Merrell & Partners offers clients a one-stop shop for their marketing and business consulting needs. Sure, we offer public relations, social media, advertising, interactive, media planning, research, analytics, direct response, and strategic consulting all under one roof. But this doesn’t guarantee an integrated offering. Likewise, funneling all services through one account manager doesn’t ensure that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Rather, value in integration comes when the parts are working together toward a common goal. I’ve listed five guidelines that might just help you achieve greater integration: More »
How do you respond to office jokes?
We’ve all heard them. Jokes that have been floating around every office since the beginning of time. You know them:
Joke #1: You see a colleague after a long weekend and ask, “Did you get a haircut?” and they answer “No, I got them all cut.”

A very special haircut
During my time away from the agency, I volunteer with the Durham County, Special Olympics. Before this past season began, I made a deal with my soccer team. If they could go the entire season without arguing (too much) AND win a gold medal at the North Carolina Special Olympic State Games – they could shave my head.
You see, last year my team was set-up to win the gold, but their in-fighting cost them dearly. My strategy was to use this incentive when they began to argue. A quick reference to my long flowing locks would usually hush them up.
The state games were held November 7th & 8th. They did very well. Let’s just say, I now know the exact shape of my head. Every nook and every cranny!
Bravo to the Durham County Bulldogs. Champions of Division 3. They are a VERY Special Group of athletes. And their barber skills aren’t too shabby either.
