Our Weekly Roundup
Companies Should Offer Financial Incentives And More As Workers Are Told To Head Back To The Office
As workers are being told to return to the office, there are several challenges that they are facing. Many employees are resistant to returning onsite full-time, as they have grown accustomed to the flexibility and autonomy of working from home. They may also have concerns about long and costly commutes, child care, work-life balance and office distractions. Employees may push back against in-person work to the point of quitting. Those who don’t resign could likely become disengaged and participate in workplace trends, such as quiet quitting, loud quitting, acting their wage and committing to Bare Minimum Mondays.
How To Overcome Job-Search Depression
Job hunting is hard, even during the best of times. In a tough market, it makes matters worse, and the pressure intensifies if you are in between roles. When you have been let go and haven’t secured a new job after some time, it’s natural that you’ll start feeling anxious, afraid and depressed. The constant rejection and roller coaster ride of ups and downs wreak havoc on your mental health and emotional well-being. Countless days of scouring job boards, submitting résumés and not hearing back can make you feel drained, discouraged and despondent.
The Biggest Problem Offices Have In Summer Goes Beyond Getting Workers To Return
Warmer weather usually spells a summer slump in the office — longer vacations, shorter workdays, lowered productivity or less team morale. But as companies and employees battle the rut, experts say stagnant work levels in the summer can lead to larger effects into the fall.
New Research Suggests Bankers Are 5 Times Less Likely To Engage In Financial Misconduct When Working From Home
Most business leaders harbor a deeply-rooted belief: Offices as sanctuaries of corporate integrity, bustling with industrious individuals who diligently toe the line of right conduct under the leader’s watchful eye. Indeed, that’s a major reason why many business leaders want their employees in the office: they feel they can keep control, ensuring compliance with laws, rules, and policies. However, a recent peer-reviewed study in the European Financial Management journal comes to puncture this inflated balloon of conventional wisdom: Bankers working from home, while brewing their morning coffees in pajamas, have been setting a higher ethical standard than their well-heeled office counterparts.

Barbara Corcoran: This Is The No. 1 Quality That All ‘Worthwhile Employees’ Share
Barbara Corcoran knows what it takes to catapult your career to the next level. In her 20s, the multi-millionaire worked as a receptionist for the Giffuni Brothers’ real estate company in New York City.

The Negative Impact Of Toxic Positivity In The Workplace
Corporate-sponsored, toxic positivity is the belief that employees must focus on positive emotions and disavow negative feelings in the workplace. A toxic positivity agenda calls for being enthusiastic and upbeat despite the dire situation. No matter what goes wrong, you are not allowed to show or say anything resembling negativity. No matter how bad the problem is, you must grin and bear it. When management promotes a culture of toxic positivity, it can adversely affect workers. The unrelenting pressure and stress to discount their own experiences and be someone they aren’t can lead to feelings of burnout and letting the team and company down.
