One of the members of the Zappettes had to sit out this round (or should have, but instead decided to sing happy birthday to herself) because It's Kathleen J.'s Special Day!
Happy Birthday Kathleen. Now you are officially overexposed on the Inside Zappos Blogs, but we don't care because we like ya!
Hope your day was full of Birthday wishes, bundt cakes and unicorns!
Since Halloween is just around the corner, we decided to up the creepy and spooky factor of Zapponian of the day up a notch.
Meet Tiffany G., our hilarious copywriter. I am now convinced that if she can survive the horror of being interviewed next to a freakishly large spider, then she can survive through anything.
Yes, that's right! The 2008 book Tribal Leadership made such an impact on us here at Zappos that we have decided that we will share an audiobook version of the book for the rest of the world.....FOR FREE.
Zappos.com has partnered with the authors of Tribal Leadership to bring you the audio version of the book, and we've included a special audio foreword featuring Tony Hsieh, CEO of Zappos.com, having a conversation with Dave Logan, co-author of Tribal Leadership.
"Within every company there are tribes, often several, consisting of 20 to 150 people who know each other and work together. But while everyone tribes, the culture of each tribe is different, as is its effectiveness. Improving a tribe’s culture—and its chances for greater success—requires a tribal leader who not only understands the tribe but can leverage its collective assets to build a greater team."
This book is helping us to shape our culture, and we hope it can do the same for you! To download, click here!
Grace H., HR Coordinator, has many roles here in the KY Warehouse. One of which is to handle events and planning. One of her most recent events was the Health & Wellness Fair. Several vendors from the area came out to speak with the KY Warehouse Superheroes to share information about their services or products. Among the vendors were Bullitt County Health Department, Hester's Gym, Etown Swim & Fitness, Two Ten Organization, Shepherdsville Chiropractic, and many more.
Employees received a Zappos.com goodie bag filled with lots of stuff including a jump rope, pedometer, jar openers, hand sanitizer, and many more things you shouldn't ever be without.
It was a long, but fun filled day of blood pressure screenings, body fat analysis, stop smoking campaigns, financial planning chats, and tips on ways to be more active and healthy. Thanks for all the work, Grace. We really enjoyed it and are looking forward to the next one!
