Generation Z is no longer ‘the future’ of work – they are here, reshaping workplaces right now. Born between the late-1990s and 2010s, Gen Z already makes up a growing slice of the global workforce and is projected to account for almost a third of US employees by 2030. For employers, this isn’t a challenge […]
Hiring today is more competitive than ever, and employers are under pressure to stand out – not just to customers, but to candidates too. One powerful way to do that is by ensuring every applicant feels respected and supported throughout the hiring process. That’s especially true for Deaf and hard-of-hearing (D/HH) candidates, who bring valuable […]
Each year, Equal Pay Day reminds us that fair compensation remains an urgent and unfinished priority. For employers, ensuring pay equity isn’t just about meeting legal requirements – it’s about building trust, improving retention, and reinforcing a company’s values.

Imagine this: you are an employee logging into work on a Monday morning. Within minutes, your activity is tracked – keystrokes monitored, screen time logged, webcam blinking occasionally.

Today’s young people are growing up in a world where interacting with artificial intelligence (AI) is second nature. Siri answers homework questions, Alexa plays music, and ChatGPT helps draft essays. Yet, many employees still navigate clunky legacy systems, outdated intranets, and multi-step approval processes that feel like digital relics. It’s no wonder younger generations may […]
Spain has taken a bold step in reshaping the modern workweek. In May 2025, the Spanish government approved a bill to reduce the standard full-time workweek from 40 to 37.5 hours – without cutting pay. While it still requires parliamentary approval, this reform is expected to impact over 12 million private-sector workers and signals a […]
The excitement of a promotion is palpable – the celebrations, the recognition, the doors they open. But there’s another, quieter side of the story that plays out behind closed doors: the moment when a capable, hardworking employee goes for a promotion… and doesn’t land it. It’s a tough blow. Disappointment, frustration, and even self-doubt can […]
Humor at work can be a powerful force. A well-timed joke can break the ice, ease tension during a tough meeting, or help teammates bond across departments. In fact, a survey by Robert Half revealed that 91% of executives believe a good sense of humor is important for career advancement, and 84% feel humorous employees […]
Most of us are guilty of having a gossip now and then. And there is no more potent breeding ground for gossiping than that of a workplace – after all, conversations are bound to occur over lunch breaks, in the corridor, or passing the water cooler. However, is having a workplace that loves a gossip […]
‘Work from anywhere’ searches have risen by 145% in the UK, with recent research from MoneySuperMarket discovering that roughly six million Brits plan to use their flexibility to work abroad without telling their employer. This rising trend has been dubbed the ‘workation’, a combination of ‘work’ and ‘vacation’ that is defined as taking a break […]
Having a digital avatar is no new feat. With the likes of Bitmojis, personalised emoticons, and The Sims games, the concept of creating a virtual lookalike hasn’t come out of thin air.
