In today’s professional sphere, a staggering 70% of employees report feeling overwhelmed by urgent tasks, leading to a rise in stress levels, according to a survey by the American Psychological Association. Studies show that high-urgency workplaces see a 40% drop in high-quality decision making. These statistics underscore a critical issue: the chronic sense of urgency in the workplace is not just a pressure point but a pervasive inhibitor of true productivity and well-being.

As a leader (and as a person), your most valuable resource isn’t your money. It’s not your title. It’s not even your time. It’s trust. Trust is the currency of relationships. It determines how much we’ll risk. Hard conversations, innovation, and healthy cultures are impossible without it. While earning trust pays dividends, it’s gradual work […] The post Everyday Practices to Build Trust appeared first on Full Focus.

I work in fundraising at a nonprofit and today, following a donor event, I got back to my desk and saw that I had five missed calls from the same number. The first four had no messages, but the fifth one had a message from a (supposed) elderly woman I didn’t know stating that she and her husband wanted to make a gift of $7 millio

This post was written by Alison Green and published on Ask a Manager. A reader writes: I’m trying to look for a new job, but it feels like the scale of doing so is interminably large. I’m expecting to apply for at least 30-40 jobs before I even get one interview. It’s that competitive out there. But for each application, I’m expected to research a company and it’s entire legacy to know my “right fit” and “love the opportunity” and then write cover

This post was written by Alison Green and published on Ask a Manager. It’s five answers to five questions. Here we go… 1. Can I ask my employer to cover the costs of vet bills caused by my job? I work as a home care provider and a few months ago when I went in to visit a client, their pet had a pretty bad flea infestation. I followed the correct health and safety protocols and went straight home after this client to get changed and immediately put everything I had been wearing in the wash.

Companies that are struggling to find the right place to deploy new AI tech should consider use cases involving “voice of the customer” applications — parsing, interpreting, and responding to customer input from all different channels. They are typically easier to implement than employee productivity use cases because they don’t require as much behavior change, and easier to measure improvements in economic value because improving customer satisfaction often has a financial payoff.
