2022 is here and for companies the pandemic reality has continued. Most back-to-the-workplace plans have been delayed more than once, having to evolve with the latest twists on the roller coaster we are collectively riding. And now with the Omicron variant, the ride continues. The return to the office has been gradual, a dipped toe

Higher compensation is part of the ransom for dealing with the pandemic for most American companies and industries. So salaries, wages, benefits and perks will cost them more—perhaps a lot more—in the year ahead. The way CEOs and CHROs can make sure the Great Raise works to their companies’ advantage is to be proactive, creative
Have you ever heard the phrase, “he or she is a born leader?” I don’t believe that to be true. We are not born knowing how to be a leader. We learn how to lead from our culture, environment, experiences, parents, teachers, and even books. And, true leadership has nothing to do with titles or
The two-year onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic, continuing with the rise of the Delta and Omicron variants, has taken center stage in every aspect of life, not the least of which is the consumer world. While vaccinations have helped re-open the door to public interaction, the virus still spreads, deaths mount, and many customers are
American healthcare is in crisis. And the ripple effects are impacting the competitiveness of our businesses.

If there is one thing the pandemic has taught me, it’s that “business as usual” no longer exists. Between navigating the many changes brought on by the pandemic to the current challenges of the Great Resignation, leaders in every industry are left asking “where do we go from here?” According to the Labor Department, a
The importance of mentors was on full display when retired Navy Capt. Barbara Bell recently attended the unveiling of a new exhibit that featured her and seven other women in aviation at Patuxent River Naval Air Museum in Maryland. One of the other women in attendance, Colleen Nevius, the first woman to graduate from the
Just Wait Until Omicron Keeps Their Kids Home After Winter Break We’re coming up on two years of this pandemic. TWO. YEARS. That’s two years of moms trying to juggle work expectations while being thrown into brand new situations with managing childcare, virtual school, or even full on homeschooling. Two years of being afraid they’ll

Have you ever wondered how you could monetize your expertise outside of your corporate role? As an executive and business leader, other companies would benefit from your expertise. Companies around the world will pay you to solve problems and create results for their business. However, your challenge isn’t delivering your expertise. You do this on
As we approach the close of 2021, you’re probably being questioned about whether you’re ready for the new year. It may be more appropriate to ask: Is 2022 ready for you? Rather than brace yourself for the uncertainty of what’s next, it’s time to be proactive. To start, reflect on what you’re grateful for, take
Feedback sessions should be the highlight of a leader’s day. Your employees are getting fed up with feedback. That, at least, is the takeaway from one recent Gallup survey, which found that only 26% of workers believe that feedback actually helps them improve their performance. Clearly, things aren’t working the way they should. At most

Many traders get into trading because they view it as easy money they can make from home in their pajamas. This really couldn’t be further from the truth. I’m a full-time professional trader and before I created my unique method for trading, I struggled to find consistent success in the markets. Another huge myth is
The level of waste our book supply chain produces each year is environmentally unfriendly and inefficient to a fault. Some readers have embraced the convenience of ebooks, but the majority of readers still prefer the familiar feel of a paperback or hardcover book in their hands. There is just something comforting about the smell of
Collectively, we’ve all been through a tough past couple of years. Many people are looking for some kindness and compassion in a world that seems a lot more aggressive, and where civility seems to have gotten lost in the supply chain somewhere. The holidays in particular can be a very sensitive time. In fact, the
According to a new study by Future Forum, 76% of employees do not want to return to full-time office work. It seems employees are more than willing to trade in-person interaction for work time at home, fewer distractions, and no commute. They are not alone. Senior leaders are embracing the productivity and performance gained from remote
Covid has wreaked havoc with relationships; people have not been able to get together with those they choose. Leaders with weak or unhelpful relationship have resulted in losing valuable staff. Online meetings have emphatically drawn leaders’ formerly personal and private lives into the professional realm (hello zoom-bombing pets and children). The need for quality human
As currently practiced, risk assessments need to be revamped.
