Hiring for Happiness

Here is a fun interview with my friend Alex from Denmark who is a world leader on Happiness in the Workplace.
This interview is about our wacky and very effective hiring practices.

Lykki For Good builds another house

It makes our hearts sing at Lykki when we can change the lives of people in need. Just in time for Christmas we built another home for this family in Cristo Rey Nicaragua. Our homes are modest but have a roof that doesn’t leak a dry floor and door that lock. Such an improvement from their previous home.
Special thanks to our OneBox supporters where every dollar from our subscriptions go to building homes.
Thank you!!

YELL!

We had the students from YELL (https://www.yellcanada.org/) visit our Lykkiplex yesterday! These young entrepreneurs get to learn about how we run a business, see how we back to the community, and even sample some new products (cookies!)

Everyone likes a little Nummmm Nummms !

Trade Wars...

Last month our suppliers sent letters to their distributors (including Lykki) notifying them of three separate tariffs on categories that affect our business being enacted at various times. Two have already been put into place, which have had nominal impact on our business; however, the third will definitely impact a large number of the SKUs we sell. The White House announced this week that tariffs on this third list are being enacted in two phases. On Monday, September 24, a 10% tariff will be levied on an estimated 4,700 items that Lykki and other office supply distributors sell.

Unless negotiations between the USA and China result in a change in the current plan, an additional tariff of 15% will be put on these products, effective January 1, 2019. These tariffs will have a significant impact on the office products industry.

Our Merchandising & Pricing Team are working diligently with our suppliers, ascertaining updated information relative to impact so as to provide you, our valued customers, with accurate information as soon as possible. Thank you.

BBQ time again, rain or shine.
