What's luxury and what's necessity? Here's our guide to embracing the Internet of Things at work.

Some excellent data on volunteering personally and at work.

The only thing you need to give to get a little happier is a little bit of yourself.

Food Drive Boxes

Boxes for a Christmas season Food Drive!

Here's a stack of Food Drive boxes, ready to go!

Another Lykki for Good project. We created some food bank hampers to send out to customers. Let’s see if we can gather some goodies for the Food Bank. A special thanks to a special customer who gave us the idea.
Cheers

Helping the Food Bank

 

 

Lykki and our One Box team is happy to be a part of supporting SHARE and the Food Bank alongside Save On Foods this Christmas as we prep for making 1500 hampers next week.

Lykki is growing!

Lykki is growing! Here's our newest truck, with our driver Leo. It's so new, it doesn't even have its Lykki truck wrap yet, but it will soon. See you on the road!

We are also happy to welcome a new driver, Salim, who in his first week on the road has captured several customer kudo emails. Welcome Salim!!!!

Cheers

Coffee Tasting

Mmm! Here are the perks of working for Lykki (pun totally intended) We're trying out some new blends from Mother Parker's Coffee.

Halloween!

We love Halloween! Check out our office costumes and our pumpkin carving contest! (Just watch out for the angry clown, you never know where he might be lurking... Mwa ha haaa!)

How much is a friend worth in dollars?

If that’s not a good reason to stop taking our friends for granted, we don’t know what is! Researchers like Meliksah Demir, Ph.D., have studied what exactly it is about friendship that makes us happy--and found that it all boils down to this: Friends make us feel that we matter.

I agree- Having friends at work makes me feel like a millionaire!

Soup's On!

We started a new tradition - SOUP Days.

Nothing beats a warm bowl of soup on a cold day, so every Wednesday and Friday we brew up a big pot of soup for everyone at the Lykkiplex. Recently we added 12 different types of soups to our website – the real restaurant kind, not the canned stuff. So we thought we better taste them all and before you know it Soup Days started.  Pop on by any Wednesday or Friday and grab yourself a bowl - Soup's On!

Cheers

Our ONEBOX program continues to grow!

Many of you may have heard of the big fire recently that destroyed part of an apartment complex at 900 Clarke Road in Port Moody. One of our staff's friends personally knew someone from there who lost everything. She went searching through the OneBox donations and came up with clothing for mom, dad & their 10 yr old son. We will contact a person in charge of collecting items for all the families and see if we can donate some more.

We were able to give this family warm jackets, scarves, runners, shirts and pants, binders, paper, a back pack for school and even a lunch kit.

Sorting through donations

Lykki OneBox donations made this possible!

Reinventing performance management

A simple 4 question review process worth looking at.

Reinventing Performance Management
How one company is rethinking peer feedback and the annual review, and trying to design a system to fuel improvement.

These are the Post-it Notes you are looking for.

A long time ago in an office far, far away some office workers with spare time used 3597 post-it notes to create Star Wars themed murals. It took the team of four about five hours to stick all the notes.

How new data-collection technology might change office culture

Interesting approach - I wonder what would happen if you strapped it to the office dog?

Imagine a tiny microphone embedded in your office ID badge. Sound far-fetched? In fact, a growing number of companies are using such data-collecting devices…

Why you should swap a corporate boardroom for a company kitchen

Great idea - board rooms are boring.

Turns out, preparing and breaking bread with clients can nurture both the people at a company, as well as nourish its bottom lines. This is the story of what happened when the principals at Universal Value Advisors traded their Brooks Brothers for butcher's knives.
