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.
Office Management Central brings together the best content for office management professionals from the widest variety of industry thought leaders.

A s a family therapist, well-trained in the 1980s, I came of age professionally with an understanding of how symptoms of mental distress occur, and ways to address it. What most people don’t know is that we already found out a great deal about the causes of mental disturbance—but now we seem to have forgotten it. Psychiatry, along with the pharmaceutical industry, have been ostensibly busy looking for causes of mental distress but, unfortunately, they are looking in the wrong place.

Innovation doesn’t happen in silos: it happens in systems. And yet many companies still rely on lone heroes to ignite transformation. They recruit visionary thinkers, celebrate bold ideas, and preach agility, but beneath the surface, their structures reward predictability and punish deviation. As a result, the very people most capable of driving innovation—fast-moving, future-oriented changemakers known as catalysts—are often left isolated, misunderstood, and burned out.
