One of the basic strategies in building recruitment, retention and the business case for diversity and inclusion is the creation of affinity groups among employees.
Green marketing has become ubiquitous in our post-"Inconvenient Truth" world, and consumers aren't always buying it. The new "conscious consumer" is health-and-wellness-minded and demands more from the companies she buys from. So what's a true green-leaning company to do?

I've been going to the South by Southwest conference for several years now, and every year it gets bigger. This year was no different. More than 12,000 people reportedly attended SXSW Interactive this year, giving it its biggest crowd ever.

Entre as dezenas de provas insossas envolvendo marcas na 10a edição do Big Brother Brasil, uma em especial chamou atenção ontem, e que aliás, ainda nem acabou. É a última prova do líder, patrocinada pelo Fiat Linea.
Os participantes do programa precisam ficar dentro de câmaras junto ao carro, não dentro dele, e pela internet as pessoas votam no que devem acontecer lá dentro: frio, calor, chuva, tempestade, escuridão e luz extrema. São duas equipes, azul e laranja, e até o momento três BBBs ainda disputam a prova.
Para não serem desclassificados, os participantes não podem sentar, deitar ou gritar. E quando uma luz vermelha se acende, devem entrar no carro e sair assim que ela se apaga.
Além da integração internet e TV, a prova é baseada em características do carro, como sensor crepuscular e ar condicionado digital. A emissora contabiliza cerca de 5.2 milhões de votos até agora
