As you all already know, we are going to be on the this year's Inc 500 list of America's Fastest-Growing Companies, making it two consecutive years with SlideBelts on the list.

Of the roughly 7 million private companies in the United States, very few have enough sizable growth to land on the prestigious Inc list even one time...let alone two. It's a direct testament to our team here for the hard work everyone puts in day in and day out, and now we're seeing the tangible results of that time, energy and commitment coming back to us.

It's no secret, then, as to why we're also landing on various lists for great workplaces. I'll still never really understand why some CEO's refuse to see the connection between a great workplace and great work. There's a natural connection between going above and beyond for your employees and having great success as a company that has been proven time and time again. Luckily for all of us, we have both of those things here.

So be proud of the fact that we are now TWO time Inc 500 honorees. That's an amazing accomplishment of which we've all been an integral part. Keep pushing into 2018 and let's try to go for three straight years

Now you probably wouldn't have guessed, but before I started working for SlideBelts I was not in a good place mentally. I had an bad attitude about everything and was not excelling in school. But that all changed when I started here. On my first day I quickly learned that happiness was contagious. Thinking of work as a dull, boring place, I thought it was crazy how happy everyone here was. Despite waking up that morning already dreading the day ahead of me, I was actually able to leave work happy; and that is because of all of you. I really cannot thank you all enough for how much you have helped me grow both professionally and personally. I could rant about every single person but that's for another time. Thanks again guys, I hope you all have a great weekend!

Working with poor posture over a prolonged period of time can cause unnecessary tension on your body's alignment and increase wear and tear on your muscles, bones, and joints. You can think of having bad posture as driving a car that is out of alignment. 

Here at SlideBelts, we "respect your spine" and prevent anyone from having to work in one single position continuously by offering standing desks, anti-fatigue mats and splitting up standing and sitting tasks throughout the day.
