I n recent decades, mental health has become one of the most widely discussed issues in public discourse, health policies, and clinical practice. The explosion of psychiatric diagnoses, the exponential rise in the use of psychotropic medication, and the proliferation of narratives about psychological wellbeing are just some of the symptoms of this new centrality of emotional suffering in contemporary society.

Frontline workers, those non-desk workers who do some of the most demanding jobs, don’t always feel connected to the company they work for. In fact, many say their team has an entirely distinct culture of its own and that communication with their company leaves a lot to be desired. According to a new global survey of 7,550 workers from Workvivo by Zoom , while frontline workers make up 80% of the global workforce, many say they don’t get the recognition they deserve.

Too often, remote employees are forgotten in the onboarding experience — killing their engagement before they’ve begun. But with the right welcome, new hires can thrive no matter where they’re located. Your first day at a new job is a lot like your first day of school. You’re excited, nervous, and hoping you’ll click with a new friend. But when half your team is working from their kitchen table and the other half is in conference rooms across three time zones, a warm welcome gets a lot trickier.

Forgetfulness is costing you time, money, and a ton of missed opportunities. In the age of automation, it’s easy to underestimate the power of a well-trained human mind. But memory isn’t just a parlor trick, it's a strategic edge. Human memory is one of the most underrated business skills. Whether you’re managing people, leading sessions, or having high-stakes conversations, remembering names, details, and concepts can be transformative in building trust, absorbing knowledge, and driving perform

Over the past three decades monitors have colonised desks in workplaces, homes and in public spaces, with the presence of a screen often signalling that something productive is taking place. This assumption may now be under quiet revision with implications for technology, management, and workplace culture. The growing maturity of artificial intelligence agents is having an incremental but significant impact on how we work.

Although job quality appears to be on the rise, a quarter of UK workers – an estimated 8.5 million people – say their jobs have a negative impact on their mental health (25 percent) or physical health (24 percent), according to the CIPD Good Work Index 2025. The latest poll claims the negative impact of work on wellbeing has remained high for many people for the eight years the survey has been running, despite improvements for some employees on certain areas of job quality.

Ever since the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944 (known as the GI Bill) was signed into law, earning a college degree became the ticket to American prosperity. By 1956, nearly half of World War II veterans had taken advantage of the education and training available through the benefits, which included assistance with tuition, books, and even housing.

Documents are the backbone of enterprise operations, but they are also a common source of inefficiency. From buried insights to manual handoffs, document-based workflows can quietly stall decision-making and drain resources. For large, complex organizations, legacy systems and siloed processes create friction that AI is uniquely positioned to resolve.

Perhaps you want to invite some co-workers but not all, and you’re concerned about excluding someone.

“Everybody’s replaceable.” That headline from a recent Wall Street Journal article may sound like a warning, but it’s also a wake-up call. It signals a clear shift in how some corporate leaders are talking about work, employees, and the role of human connection. In short, Corporate America’s long-running war for talent is sounding more like a war on talent.

In reply to Wendy Darling. “Women in [field]” panels are another form of marginalisation! It flattens women’s professional expertise into “but what about being a woman , eh?”. And it causes a lot of people to not attend that panel because they think it’s not for them. If a conference really wants to tackle structural inequality, they can work to make sure their other panels include women and non binary people, and people of different skin colour, sexuality etc.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved several antipsychotic drugs as an augmentation strategy for “treatment-resistant depression,” including aripiprazole (Abilify), quetiapine (Seroquel), and olanzapine (Zyprexa). But in a new study , researchers found that these drugs were no better than trying another antidepressant—and that they come with increased risk of death.

LW #1: I wonder whether you’d be willing to support an event on “women in tech” as someone who cares about the issue rather than as a representative of “women in tech.” I have a male colleague that I often nominate to serve on these kinds of panels because he is a thoughtful and deliberate advocate for inclusion.
