Hi5 Fridays

I've been meaning to write this post for awhile now. For the past several months I've been regularly annoying my followers on Twitter and friends on Facebook by posting about Hi5 Fridays.

These are my two favourite posts so far:


I've been getting lots of questions and a few strange looks when people see me Hi5'ing co-workers on Friday's so I figured I'd publish a bit of the history and what several of us at my workplace have been trying to do to boost moral in the office.

Hi5Friday was launched by Joseph Porcelli, the GovLoop.com crew, and the 500 attendees of the Next Generation of Government Summit in Washington DC during the summer of 2011. 

Giving a Hi5 is a great way to acknowledge an awesome co-worker, a job well done, and teamwork. 
Here is how it works:
  1. On Fridays try to give at least 5 people in your office (or anyone) a Hi5
  2. Join and add a discussion in a Hi5Fridays group and please insert the photos or videos taken and tell about your experience
  3. Help spread the word by share your discussion on facebook and twitter - tag it with #Hi5Fridays
So this Friday give out a few Hi5's, I guarantee you'll put a smile on someones face and likely have a few laughs along the way. Just give it a try, you'll be glad you did.
