While we don't have a weekly Brag Basket like our friend Becky McCray over at Small Biz Survival, we do like to pat ourselves on the back when the opportunity presents itself.

It did this morning, when I noticed we gained our 200th and 201st member on Winning Workplaces' LinkedIn group.  Putting us over the 200-member threshold was Jacob from Arizona, who leads a financial services firm.

If you're on LinkedIn but not in our group yet, why not join today?  It's free and will allow you to connect with all other group members – through both straight, one-on-one networking as well as around discussions you can start or add your thoughts to.  We've already talked about different member events coming up as well as trends along the lines of employee engagement and workplace team building.  (Terry at another financial services firm, for instance, asked about the prospect of a shrinking talent pool.)

One nice feature of membership is that it's highly customizable when it comes to privacy.  You can decide if you want our group logo to appear on your LinkedIn profile, select which e-mail address you want to use to receive group updates (if you have more than one), and control whether other group members can contact you directly.

So what are you waiting for?  Join our group today if you're not a member and help us get to 300 members!
