At Daxko, we’re fortunate to have the 3-mile Lakeshore Greenway on our back doorstep. The weather has been beautiful this Spring and I’ve found myself daydreaming of having a retractable sunroof that would let us work while basking in the warm sun and fresh breezes. So, the retractable sunroof thing might not be that feasible, [...]
March 17th was St. Patrick’s Day and, boy, was it an amazing day for me! It was full of leprechauns, four leaf clovers, green confetti, pots of gold, lucky charms, and ‘kiss me I’m Irish’ buttons! Who can guess where I was? No, no I wasn’t participating in “those” festivities… I was at Homewood Park [...]
Daxko has done it again. In yesterday’s Las Vegas Review-Journal, in reporter Tom Haynie’s article “It’s Not Just About the Money”, Daxko was lauded as being a trend-setting company offering “creative” benefits. We agree and we are glad the world knows, too! Daxko’s semi-annual team building budget was at the top of an impressive list [...]

We’re almost a month into the new year by now. If you’re like me, this is the point where you realize that certain new year’s resolutions are not going to get accomplished. I typically am a very determined person who sets personal, career and spiritual goals and fully plan to live up to those expectations. However, there are [...]
“What are the strengths you could bring to this team?” Sound familiar? A standard interview question, for sure. When it comes to our careers, we often spend considerable time examining individual strengths. We focus on honing them. We’re praised for exhibiting them. But do we ever worry the strengths that help make us successful may actually become [...]
So this year, many of us at the Daxko Nation are participating in Movember. You might be wondering, what the heck is Movember? Given that I’m a northerner (yankee transplant from Wisconsin – Go Packers), we used to celebrate Manuary and grow beards during the month of January to help fend off the cold. Two [...]
Lately at Daxko, there has been a lot of talk about wellness. Much of the chatter is sparked by our recent DaxLife Ignite Wellness and Benefits Fair (if you missed it, check it out here), and just about everyone is buzzing about their new wellness initiatives. My pod mates are taking on personal challenges like [...]
I’m talking about your perspective on life… your job… your faith… or, even the city in which you live. If you’re stuck in a daily grind, maybe you need a new perspective. This blog post was inspired by my recent trip to Chicago. We went on a riverboat architectural cruise for a guided tour of the [...]
Yesterday, we held our first ever DaxLife Ignite wellness and benefits fair. The purpose? To learn more about the why and how of living a healthy, active life. DaxPark (Daxko’s version of Central Park) was transformed into a “fairground” for… Free health assessments by the Birmingham YMCA 1-on-1 time with our benefits vendors Yoga, Zumba and resistance training [...]
Is this even possible? With the day-to-day demands of everything that we have going on in our lives, how can we “hold up” under the pressure? How do we maintain the balance that we all need? I know that I often need pointers and reminders on how to get through crazy days or even weeks. [...]
