According to a new study, basic employee benefit packages aren’t cutting it anymore. Instead, employers are prioritizing employees’ physical, mental and financial health through more holistic well-being options. Nearly 1 in 3 employers expect to expand voluntary benefit offerings by 2027 The study, Gallagher’s 2025 U.S. Benefits Benchmarks report , highlights the change in employer-provided benefits.
Introduction: The Power of Asking the Right QuestionsImagine launching a wellness initiative across your organization—health screenings, yoga classes, mindfulness apps—but months later, participation is low, and results are underwhelming. What went wrong? Most likely, no one asked employees what they needed in the first place.That’s where workplace wellness surveys come in.Surveys are one of the most powerful tools for understanding the health needs, interests, and barriers of your workforce.

The importance of financial literacy hits particularly close to home for Michael Haddix Jr. As the son of former NFL running back Michael Haddix, he witnessed firsthand how professional athletes can struggle without proper financial guidance. The elder Haddix played eight seasons in the NFL with the Philadelphia Eagles and the Green Bay Packers but came from very humble—and, at times, tragic—beginnings.
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

Every technological revolution brings with it management change. The rise of automation in the 1980s, for example, led to process reengineering (stripping out unnecessary steps to shorten timelines). Now with the dawn of AI , the next wave of organizational and leadership change is upon us. Ron Carucci, a consultant and researcher on leadership and organizations, and Kathleen Hogan, Microsoft’s former chief people officer and its newly appointed EVP of the Office of Strategy and Transformation,

Podcasting has soared in popularity over the last decade. In 2013, only 7% of the United States population ages 12 and over listened to podcasts weekly, compared to 2024, when 34% are tuning in to a podcast each week. Alice Draper, the founder of Hustling Writers, helps her clients land podcasting opportunities since they’re in such high demand. “[Podcast guesting] cuts through the attention economy because people scroll very quickly on social media… and you have at most two seconds of people’s
We are living with a lot of uncertainty right now. There are some economic headwinds , though hiring has remained robust. There are significant legislative changes on the horizon. Ongoing wars in Ukraine and the Middle East are creating global tensions. The rise of generative AI has led to concerns about the future of many jobs and industries. The difficulty of predicting the future complicates decision-making for people at every level of an organization from low-level employees who may be angli
Volatility has CPOs rethinking value and strategy, collaborating with suppliers, and looking beyond cost to innovation. McKinsey partners Riccardo Drentin and Tarandeep Ahuja share what they’re seeing.
More and more senior executives are stepping out of high-powered roles and opting to work for multiple companies on an access pay-as-you-go basis as fractional leaders. This raises the question: Why are executives taking this step, and why is it booming now? Post-pandemic shifts have altered how senior leadership thinks about time, value, and work. The profound shift in how we worked allowed senior leaders to reflect on their lives.
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.

Douglas Adams’ brilliant novel The Restaurant at the End of the Universe describes Milliways, the fine dining establishment built in a time bubble and projected forward to the precise moment of the End of the Universe. Meals at such a singular restaurant are ridiculously expensive–but diners can easily pay for them. “All you have to do is deposit one penny in a savings account in your own era, and when you arrive at the End of Time, the operation of compound interest means that the fabulous cost
I entered my counseling graduate program full of hope. I thought I was stepping into a space of healing, one where I could learn how to support others through pain, trauma, and transformation. I didn’t expect to find myself shrinking just to survive. The first time I was called “articulate” in class, I knew what it meant. It was said with a smile, meant as a compliment, but there was a pause behind it.
In reply to Eustacia. If people have been asking for XYZ, and then get ABC instead, often there is a lot of bitterness and complaining even if ABC is very nice and something they would like and use in another context. Especially if there is the idea that money and time spent on ABC (which wasn’t asked for) could have gone to XYZ (which was). Is it possible there are complaints or requests going to supervisors or the owner you aren’t aware of?
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.
The steam engine in the 19th century, the microprocessor chip in the 20th—companies that figured out how to use them thrived; those that didn’t declined. And now the race to embrace AI is on. McKinsey estimates the potential for corporates to grow their productivity through this transformative technology at $4.4 trillion. Today’s corporate leaders are acutely aware of this—only 1% call their companies “mature” on the deployment spectrum—and they certainly want to do something about this: 92% pla
In reply to Bubbles. Even if you don’t fit “fully” for the role, it sounds like you think you fit better than most of your colleagues. So, why not go for it? People (women, particularly) often don’t apply for a role because they don’t fit it perfectly, even though other people (men, particularly) with similar qualifications apply and sometimes get it.
In the early morning hours of high summer’s holiday, July 4, a Southern summer camp became the site of tragedy: At Camp Mystic in Central Texas, flash flooding from a rapidly rising Guadalupe River claimed the lives of 27 people, many of them young girls. Among them were eight-year-old twin sisters. As waters rose in the middle of the night, counselors wrote girls’ names on their arms in case the worst-case scenario happened.
In reply to RagingADHD. Haha, I’ve also ghosted/edited business books, and that is so true. But I’ve also had the other problem – too many ideas, too many examples, personal anecdotes and extraneous charts. Cutting 60 pages fortunately is a lot easier than spinning out a “strategy” to fill 200-300 pages.
President and CEO of Saab, Micael Johansson, discusses the significant role that innovation can play in scaling systems and solutions to increase security in Europe.
In reply to MsPotato. I’m so sorry you’re dealing with that. Having to accept that family won’t change is one of the hardest things to do, because it feels like they’re willfully hurting you because they refuse to change. It took me a long time to accept that one of my parents was incapable of doing the bare minimum of what I needed from them, and I had to make the decision to cut off contact.
For as long as I can remember, there have been peonies in my life. Not just the type of flower, mind you, but the exact same flowers. They traveled hundreds of miles and survived multiple moves. Until writing this article, I didn’t even know why. I just knew that thanks to my family, the peonies had followed me in every place that I’d lived, like a shadow that I couldn’t quite shake.
In reply to AngryOwl. Food service can be surprisingly immature and unreasonable. Not everywhere and not everyone, but my experience plenty of people brought personal grudges and pettiness into work where it didn’t belong. I didn’t always appreciate the drama when I worked in bars and restaurants. I agree that people are really laying into the LW a bit too much.
In reply to thebakeisapie. This happened to me a couple years ago. Funnily enough, it also happened to a friend of mine, since we had both applied for (different) jobs at the same company around the same time. In my case, I was told there was a hiring freeze in place until the end of the financial year, but then a few days later they got back to me and said the role I was applying for was classified as a high priority or something and was exempt from the freeze, so they went ahead and offered me
In reply to RoadLessTraveler. My DH has a token (I think that’s what it’s called) so he can log into his etrade account. It’s the size of a thumb drive. Why can’t companies offer that instead of making people use their personal phone?
In reply to Rags. I work part-time and my boss is essentially a peer (I actually had a bit more experience than she does before I mostly retired). I completely disconnect when I’m off. She does not. I’ve commented to her a couple of times and she says that it is less stressful for her to keep track of texts, at least, and have some idea what’s going on.
In reply to Cabbagepants. I’m also a woman married to a man in a traditionally male-dominated field. I would not offer to help. My husband absolutely would, as would I if we were at his co-worker’s home – and when his boss was a woman, I spent a chunk of one evening helping her husband in the kitchen. I grew up in a family where the men sat at the table with brandy while the women cleaned up in the kitchen.
My neighbor has been a HUGE help with several major yard/home issues while my husband is recovering from surgery. What can I do to show appreciation, despite not knowing him very well? I’ve tried to subtly ask about his favorite flavors, but he caught on and said “You’d better not bake me anything, I mean it!” His hobbies include classic car restoration and woodworking, both of which I know less than nothing about.
In reply to Pink Dice. A gift card with a personal note is a great way to show appreciation! Just make the note the personal bit, the gift isn’t what matters anyway, it’s that you want him to know you appreciate his help!
In reply to Do Us All A Favour and Use Your PTO. That sounds frustrating! And it sounds like it’s negatively impacting your team’s ability to work effectively, too. There’s one Office episode, very early on, where a DEI workshop facilitator says to Michael “Michael, I would love to get your permission to run this workshop. Can I do that?” after Michael has interrupted, derailed, and power-grabbed a couple times.
In reply to MsPotato. My sister (who is older than yours) is way more financially reliant on my folks that I’m happy about, but I have decided two things: one, that is not my circus or my monkeys, and two, I will not let it become my circus or my monkeys. My folks are adults and can do what they want to with their resources, and so am I. And if that means they agree to fund her artistic endeavors, they can do that, and if she asks me to fund her artistic endeavors, I can politely decline.
In reply to reality check (?). Studied English in undergrad and remember a fair amount because it was interesting and I studied stuff I liked. Then I went to med school. Did fine and have practiced successfully for nearly 40 years. I remember almost nothing of biochemistry and even less of organic chem. The only pharmacology I retain is the stuff I use regularly.
