The insistence of employers on a full return to the office, without considering individual circumstances, could lead to a surge in legal issues — particularly discrimination claims. Companies need to make wise decisions and avoid biases in considering individual employee circumstances, including disability, age, and parental responsibilities, to navigate this new legal landscape successfully.

When you’re an employee, you crave autonomy. You want the freedom and empowerment to make—and own—decisions. Then one day, you’re promoted to manager. And you realize just how hard it can be to grant autonomy to direct reports, even though you were once in their shoes. This is a normal reaction and not a reason to think you aren’t cut out for leadership.

We use the word busy far too often. We say it when friends ask us how we are doing, as if being busy is an emotion. It’s an excuse we use to procrastinate on unpleasant tasks. We use it to sound important at work, because being busy somehow equates to being successful. But you’re never too busy for 10 minutes, which is all it takes to improve yourself just a little each day.

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.

It’s a reminder that the attitude we assume when faced with disappointment is truly up to us. That happiness is a choice. The influence of his father helped Wooden develop a mental approach that allowed him to respond to disappointment with self-control and reason, rather than reacting emotionally.

According to the Harvard School of Public Health , snacking often leads to making poorer food choices, such as potato chips, candy, and cookies, causing unwanted weight gain from excess calories. Nevertheless, snacking throughout the workday can be profoundly beneficial to workers because it provides energy, curbs their appetite, and maintains their nutrition levels if their schedule doesn’t permit eating full meals at set times.
