Hey there "nice pants!"

Have you been tempted to pay someone a compliment but decided not to, for fear of looking foolish? That hasn’t stopped two Purdue University students known as the “compliment guys.”

Since the beginning of the school year, Cameron Brown and Brent Westcott spend a couple of hours every Wednesday dishing out compliments to passersby. They don’t give their kudos too much thought. They just shout out whatever comes to mind.  A woman walking by got a compliment on her smile. They had conversation with a guy about his “nice pants” and when a classmate walked by they praised him for the grade he got on a test.

While standing with a sign that says “free compliments” may not be your style,  go ahead and pay someone a nice compliment this week. It will do you good and it might be the highlight of someone’s day.

Speaking of “generous  hearts.”
I invited readers to complete a brief on-line survey about having a Quiet Room in their call center. Look at the previous blog post for the survey results so far.

If you currently have a quiet room in your call center, please fill out the Quiet Room Survey today. (The survey is very quick — you can complete it under 3 minutes).

Every call center should have a room set aside where employees can go to get a little quiet time and unplug, don’t you think?

Make it a great week!
