Covid-19 has taken its toll on the workplace; by some accounts, 7 out of 10 workers believe the Covid era has been the most challenging period of their professional lives. In healthcare—the industry in which I serve—I believe that ratio to be much higher. The workplace disruption has translated into tremendous uncertainty in the executive

There’s nothing more critical to the health of a business than the health of its people. Amid the cataclysmic shockwaves sparked by the Covid-19 pandemic, the psychological fallout has been felt by workers around the globe. A recent survey conducted by Sapien Labs and published by the World Economic Forum revealed that more than a quarter

Being an entrepreneur, or as I like to consider myself—a serial entrepreneur, one that has tons of ideas—I have to be a dreamer. I’m a dreamer who starts up a company and goes sailing with it. And then I have another dream. And then, another and another.  The key is staying focused and that means

To reinvigorate or resurrect their corporate cultures, many leaders are asking employees to stop working from home and return to the office. Nearly 70% of leaders believe their employees

“Does culture eat strategy for breakfast?” Absolutely yes, especially in moments of crisis like the present pandemic when well-laid strategies and business plans get tossed out of the window as we are hurtling through an unknown space in a fast-moving roller coaster. When we started the year 2020 by launching our product, NeuroShield™ – a

President Biden has set an ambitious goal: reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions to 50% below 2005 levels by 2030.

Every CEO I know is seeking impactful ways to

Each year, the Great Place to Work Institute asks thousands of employees to rate their workplace experiences based on a number of factors, including, “This is a fun place to work.” Fortune magazine then uses this data to compile its annual 100 Best Companies to Work For list—and what it reveals about combining work and fun is significant.

First let’s Define “Work Gamification” – it is not about playing games, but in reinventing performance measurement and feedback systems to create positive motivation structures triggering and maintaining excitement and interest in applying personal talents and innovation for the achievement of organizational goals…and for people to enjoy it.

More than half (52%) of North American employees surveyed are looking for a new job this year, according to a report conducted by Achievers. This trend will likely continue into 2022 as companies bring people back into office buildings and create new hybrid working models.

In other words, what we can do together can be better or worse than what we can do apart. Low collective intelligence might be ok when we are not

We saw them in 2020 in response to COVID-19; we saw them during the GFC; just as we’ve seen them in every major economic downturn before them: mass redundancies. But at what cost? Major listed companies reveal multimillion-dollar “one-off costs” every time they announce a round of redundancies. However, that is just the tip of

Summer travel season is back in full swing this year, with one in four Americans planning to take at least one vacation thanks to a rebounding economy, easing Covid-19 restrictions and a growing number of fully vaccinated U.S. adults. Workers everywhere are likely eager to unplug and enjoy a change of scenery after a year

With Father’s Day on the horizon, I’m feeling incredibly lucky to be the father of two very talented, yet different boys. One has taken to the great game of baseball and the other is a budding artist, yet each is absolutely committed to his passion. Jordan, 14, takes over 100 swings every day to become

When it comes to winning in this new era for business, CEOs across virtually every industry in every part of the nation agree on two things: Becoming a more digitally sophisticated enterprise is essential, and they are struggling to make it happen.

It’s your lucky day! You meet a kind stranger who offers you your choice of a great deal, something for nothing. No tricks, really: you’re getting a free lunch.  She gives you $45. Then, she asks if you want to keep that money, or give it to her in exchange for a coin flip, where

The future of work is here, coupled with one of the hottest job markets we’ve ever seen. While CEOs and senior leaders have always sought profit margins and talent retention, the most effective tool for achieving both at once has changed: employee choice and well-being rather than a one-size-fits-all list of perks and benefits.
