#TBT | The Best of 2016-2017
August marks the beginning of a new academic year and a whole new year of blogging from the VUHRD Corner Blog. "Every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end." (I am singing that last line; thank you, Semisonic!) A new year of blog posts, means a year of blogging coming to an end. Today's post moved to Thursday just so we could do a #TBT! (That's Throw Back Thursday for those not down with hashtag lingo.) Let's take a look at some of our most popular posts from 2016-2017...

Understanding these three needs for any Millennial employee is key to understanding what will naturally motivate them to perform within their job."
