You know those people, the ones who are proficient at their job. But, if you’re being completely honest, they’re no rock stars. Yet, somehow, they always seem to get promoted—and it irks you because you know you’re better at the job than they are. They just might be more likeable. Here’s the thing.

Leaders are worried about the professional growth and cultural integration of junior staff in hybrid and remote workforces, in part because the future of any organization depends on developing its junior staff into future leaders. A key component of a hybrid development and integration program involves on-the-job training, which can easily be done in a small-group style on selected in-office days, with one senior staff member helping train six to eight junior employees.

Goal-setting theory describes the mechanisms that best engage and motivate employees. It implies tactics you can use to increase productivity on your team or throughout your organization. These tactics include setting goals that are specific and realistic yet challenging. Best practices in goal setting also require a completion date for a project. Milestones with due dates for smaller tasks that are part of that goal also motivate your teams.

Layoffs have infiltrated nearly every work-related headline in recent months, but less workers don’t necessarily mean there is less work to do. During the pandemic, a spike in demand for tech products and services meant these companies needed extra help to address growing appetite.

Don’t tell anyone, but… I really shouldn’t say anything, but did you know… This stays between us… Miss Manners might clutch her pearls at the idea of this decorum-shattering habit, but gossip isn’t always in poor form.

Weight loss is a challenge that increases when most time at work is spent being sedentary. Behavioral changes in exercise, diet, and lifestyle inside and outside work — like obtaining adequate sleep, eating more protein, and taking the right supplements — are ways to burn fat at work. Getting the right amount of sleep alone isn’t enough to lose weight, but losing sleep is enough to hinder all other efforts.

The news last year that the M&S flagship Orchard House store on Oxford Street in London was to be demolished to make way for a new mixed-use development of shops, offices, restaurants and a gym sparked a very British sort of debate about the pros and cons of retrofit and refurbishment.
