#LoveWhereYouWork

Read just a few stories on this blog, and you’ll notice that people love to work here. Whether it’s the people, the innovation, the giving back, or a combination of all of those and more, love is in the air.

Since February is a month of recognizing love – and this year, there’s a whole extra day for it! – it’s the perfect timing for employees to take to social media to tell the world why they love where they work.

Just to make it interesting, we’re adding a bit of the competitive flair by creating an employee contest.

Employees – we’re asking you to take a photo that helps communicate why you love working at Cisco. Post it on Instagram or Twitter, tell us why working at Cisco is awesome, and tag it #WeAreCisco and #LoveWhereYouWork. (Or, upload your entry into the Our Big Picture Mosaic with the hashtags in the description.) A panel of judges will pick the best ones – here are some examples of what we’ll be looking for:

Best Use of Photography Techniques
Best Sense of Humor
Best “Tugs My Heartstrings” Photo
Most Creative Backdrop/Scenery
Most Creative Prop
Best Representation of Our People Deal
Most Humanitarian
Best Executive Representation
Most Inclusive/Diverse
Best Use of Technology
Best In Show

Employees can enter multiple times, but can only win once!

The first 200 entries will receive a Cisco selfie-stick, for more picture taking fun at work. The winners in the above categories will get a Cisco t-shirt to wear proudly!

Only full-time Cisco employees are eligible to enter (full rules here), though anyone can search on Twitter or Instagram for both #LoveWhereYouWork and #WeAreCisco you’ll be able to see the love story unfold! Like and share your favorites!

Stay tuned for the winners in March! Meanwhile, here are some early examples.
