Outside the dressing room, the manager “trained” a new employee on the store's theft procedures in a loud voice. Inside the dressing room, two African American women were trying on clothes. One of the women came out and expressed how upset she was at the insinuation she was stealing. In response, she and her friend were asked to leave the store and then security was called.

Pop quiz: in what year was the term “telecommuting” coined? Even trivia connoisseurs may be surprised by the answer. Like most, you may have guessed a time after the invention of the internet, but in fact, the first known remote worker was an employee of NASA in the early 70’s. (So perhaps a very remote worker?) In 1979, the Washington Post published the article “ Working at Home Can Save Gasoline ,”and from there the idea of telecommuting gained popularity.

How many times have you heard the phrase, “communication is key?” If you’re anything like me, the advice has now become trite, losing any significance or weightiness it once had. But ignoring this advice with any relationship can be detrimental to the deep connection you are trying to create with another person. When we aren’t intentional with the way we communicate, things can turn sour quickly.

2024 has tested every organization, and 2025 promises no less - the warning signs are everywhere. If you’re relying on superficial approaches to diversity, you might find yourself scrambling to catch up.

And if you’re not building it into your workplace culture right now , you’re heading for trouble.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.

On the face of it, middle management looks like the ideal position to be in. You are free from responsibilities unlike that of the upper management , nor do you lack the flexibility of the entry-level employees. But the truth is far from it.

Top Sales Reps are Buyer-Centric. The secret to increasing your sales is not to push harder; it is to be more buyer-centric. The secret is to get to know your client and their business so well that they see you as an ally focused on helping them to succeed personally and professionally – not as an adversary in a push-pull exchange. Remember, buyers don’t want a list of what your product can do; they want to solve their problems.

Up until the millennials came about, the types of employee benefits that one can provide was literally the last thing on the company’s mind.

But the corporate culture entered into an entirely new axis with the dot com boom of 1995.
