For managers, the pressure is on to fairly evaluate reports — both sharing positive feedback and asking questions to uncover areas for improvement. For employees, it’s an opportunity to showcase achievements and reflect on progress, while remaining open to receiving performance feedback.

The conventional degree was once as integral to the American Dream as getting the keys to your first home. But among the many norms the pandemic upended, the job market and what is required to succeed has been reimagined. We are all familiar with the idea of a glass ceiling, that invisible barrier that has kept women and other marginalized groups from progressing up the corporate or political ladder for invisible yet all-too-tangible reasons.

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.

If you work in a busy office, you’ve no doubt heard some form of the following conversation over the cubicle walls: “Lunch? Sorry, I won’t have a chance to grab a bite at all. I’m actually completely booked for the next few days.” The irony is that while you’d be hard-pressed to find someone who is happy about an exhausting work schedule , many of us carry an odd sense of pride about having a personal schedule stuffed with back-to-back-to-back meetings.

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.

I was disappointed, but not surprised when I opened this year’s Women in the Workplace report from McKinsey & Company and LeanIn.org. Why? Well, just read this: For every 100 men promoted to manager in 2018, 79 women were promoted. And this year, just 81 women were. As a result of this “broken rung,” men significantly outnumber women at the manager level, which makes it nearly impossible for companies to support sustained progress at more senior levels.

One major benefit of integrating AI into employee wellness programs is its ability to deliver personalized support based on individual needs. Traditional wellness efforts typically follow a generic model, which may not effectively cater to the varied preferences and requirements of employees. AI, however, uses data analytics and machine learning to process large sets of information such as health records, biometric data, and personal habits.

Look up the word “productivity” in a thesaurus and synonyms include “abundance,” “potency,” richness,” and “yield.” Sounds positive and something to strive for, right? No wonder many of us constantly look for ways to improve our productivity. “One of the strongest reasons that people are so focused on productivity is because it makes us feel good about ourselves,” says Israa Nasir, author of Toxic Productivity: Reclaim Your Time and Emotional Energy in a World That Always Demands More.
