More than a million UK workers have quit their jobs in the past year due to a lack of flexible working, according to a new poll from the CIPD. The organisation’s latest report highlights a growing tension between employer demands and employee expectations, particularly among younger workers. The survey of 2,000 employers and 5,000 employees suggests that around 3 percent of the workforce left their roles since January 2024 because they were unable to access the flexibility they needed.
What makes people stay? It’s one of the most important — and often most overlooked — questions in employee engagement. While exit interviews offer hindsight, stay interviews give you something more powerful: foresight. A stay interview is a one-on-one conversation between a manager or HR leader and an employee, designed to understand what keeps them motivated and what might cause them to leave.
W hen Laura Lopez-Aybar was thirteen, she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder (BPD). According to her clinicians, these were serious illnesses that would alter the course of her future, requiring her to take medication indefinitely because she would never be able to regulate her emotions on her own. Throughout her teenage years, everything Lopez-Aybar did was treated as a sign of her mental illness.
Workers who take small steps to enforce work-life balance—like setting an out-of-office message on weekends or not answering emails on vacation—are often considered less committed and promotable, even when they’re encouraged to take those actions. Researchers behind a new study looking at the phenomenon are calling this “the detachment paradox.” “We were only looking at stuff that happens when the worker is not supposed to work, such as evenings, weekends, and vacations,” says Elisa Solina
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
The Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) is the beloved and most prominent provider of educational television programming in the United States. OTJ seized on the opportunity to support the relocation of the nonprofit’s headquarters and boldly look to the future of an institution that has shaped our nation’s cultural landscape for generations. Designers drew on the history of their own formative relationships with PBS’ programs to propose a warm and sophisticated “living room” concept that would wel
As cities continue to grow, the pressure on infrastructure, resources and the environment is intensifying. A new global study warns that urban centres must move beyond new construction and reimagine the buildings they already have. Retrofitting – enhancing and upgrading existing structures -is emerging as a key strategy to cut emissions, improve energy performance and boost urban liveability.

Post pandemic is now really old. Use smething else to make it more relevant In the post-pandemic corporate landscape, the concept of employee well-being has undergone a profound transformation.

As a leader in technology for nearly 30 years, I have observed waves of innovation disrupt the global business landscape and trigger major shifts in the way we work. Now, as AI takes its place as the next big thing, the global workforce is facing an overwhelming demand for new skills and capabilities. In my new book, Artificial Intelligence For Business , I highlight the impact of AI on the future of work, specifically the skills gaps and job displacements, as well as future essential skills req
If your brain had a dashboard like your car, mental health would be the check-engine light you don’t want to ignore. Your brain is constantly sending signals to help you avoid a breakdown and keep things running smoothly. But all too often, adults ignore the warning signs and keep going without taking a break, refueling, or fixing small problems before they become bigger ones.
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.
Some days, “Have a great day!!!” is just too much to ask. You might even be tempted to respond to this effusive well-wisher: “Have you seen the news?” “Have you seen my to-do list?” “Have you seen my team’s numbers?” “Have you seen my sleep score?” Some days, you might just settle for “Having a day.” And yet, that doesn’t feel great either. It would be nice to do more than get through the week, to do more than endure.
Human-attributed responses are perceived as more supportive, emotionally resonant, and caring than identically AI-generated responses, according to a new study by Hebrew University of Jerusalem researchers. Published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour, the study involved over 6,000 participants in nine different experiments in which chatbot responses were crafted by large language models (LLMs).
A few years ago, I met a woman at a networking event who whispered her confession over a plastic cup of chardonnay: “I love my job. I’m proud of what I’ve built. But every time I miss a school play or forget to sign a field trip form, I feel like I failed them.” She didn’t say who “them” referred to. Perhaps her kids, society, herself. Maybe all three.
Now that everyone carries a camera in their pocket, it can feel like we’re all expected to excel at photography. However, like any art form, taking a good photo isn’t as easy as clicking a button. In an ideal world, a business would have a professional on hand to perfectly capture images for their website and social media. The reality is this isn’t always feasible.
In the accounting world, staying ahead means embracing the tools that allow you to work smarter, not harder. Outdated processes and disconnected systems can hold your organization back, but the right technologies can help you streamline operations, boost productivity, and improve client delivery. Dive into the strategies and innovations transforming accounting practices.

Ever feel like being healthy is another job you didn’t apply for? Between figuring out what to eat, how to move, when to rest, and why your brain won’t shut off at 3 a.m., wellness can feel… overwhelming. But you don’t have to do it alone. AI tools are like wellness sidekicks in your pocket. They can help you plan meals, build workouts, create calming routines, and even remind you to breathe when life’s moving too fast.
In reply to maysterism. Thanks for saying this. I think (hope!) that a lot of people in this comment section haven’t been witness to many mental health crises where someone got the police involved, and that as a result people are underestimating how traumatizing that can be in and of itself. Repeatedly witnessing someone self-harming and calling police in to respond to someone who’s self-harming are both bad options.

OP, I agree that it’s time for a re-think. My husband doesn’t get to decide what I disclose and not disclose about my own life. He is well within his rights to ask me to keep his personal, family, and medical history private. If he didn’t want my colleagues to know where he worked, I’d think it’s a weird quirk but I’d keep it private.
Page through any celebrity magazine, and you’ll often glimpse a snapshot of a lithe box-office bombshell leaving her boutique (aka pricey) studio Pilates class. Scroll through TikTok, and you might meet the Pink Pilates Princesses—girls who rock pastel athleisure while blending their own juice and practicing planks and double leg stretches. While you’re also interested in improving your flexibility, strength and posture, if these lifestyles seem more suited to reality TV than your own daily grin
Neutral?? I think relationships need disclosure, otherwise the opportunity for conflicts of information sharing is wide open. As an employer, I would require disclosure and being open.
Only one in five companies believe they have high-quality strategy. What do such Strategy Champions have in common? They excel at designing bold strategies—and are even better at mobilizing their execution.
In reply to Amy. I can’t speak for all fields, but I work in one where professionals are required to disclose close family to prevent this exact conflict of interest from cropping up. My initial thought was more benign – Hubby wants to keep working on Project X, and having OP be known as his wife would block him from Project X because there’s a conflict of interest between the branches.
Peter Gøtzsche writes for the Brownstone Institute : “The outcomes used in psychiatric drug trials are not meaningful, and psychiatric diagnoses and names of drug classes are also problematic. According to DSM-5, major depression “causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.” 1 It is the other way around.
I have a close colleague who does this — the colleague and their partner work in the same field but at different companies and often are at the same professional events. They act as if they have zero personal connection when talking with colleagues. It’s a little bit of an “open secret” among more senior folks in the field that knew them when their relationship started, but for the most part everyone respects their wishes to keep their private relationship irrelevant to a

Does the library have employees give emergency contact info? This might be a time where use of that is warranted. A relative who knows them may be able to help and get them into a treatment center.

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) transformations are often large and complex investments that can cost millions of dollars and take many years to complete.
In reply to maysterism. This seems like a situation where the “not everyone can have sandwiches” category of responses is actually valid – there are not, in fact, other options in every place. I agree with you 100% that those other options, when they exist, should absolutely be engaged first before calling police. But mental health liaisons and intervention teams are not ubiquitous (and they, too, can vary in quality), and on top of that, where I grew up, it was a requirement t
In reply to Dana Lynne. For that first paragraph, it depends on the industry because there are plenty of people whose spouses never meet their co-workers and where isn’t really a “plus-one” option. My marriage is coming up on a decade and I think there’s maybe two co-workers in that entire span who have met her. But even in those scenarios, it’d be incredibly bizarre to not at least know the person has a spouse.
In reply to Andy. They were talking about specific species, though. Serious birdwatchers don’t say “I saw a bird” They say, for example, “I saw a leucistic red-tailed hawk.
In reply to maysterism. Then what is the point of “Let’s not pretend…”? The situation is binary; either the workplace calls for help or it doesn’t, but for someone to hint that calling for help could be worse isn’t reasonable, especially since that help is far more likely to do good than to do harm.
In reply to Lilian Field. Agreed. As someone who’s had similar, albeit somewhat less demonstrative, moments, the LAST thing I want is for other people to notice. It’s just a reaction to something my brain/body doesn’t have the ability to process correctly — like having my fight-or-flight triggered when there’s nothing to fight or flee from.
