Can The 4-day Workweek Solve the Great Resignation?
The workweek as we know it — Monday to Friday from 9 to 5 — has not always been the norm. This way of working was first implemented by Henry Ford in 1926 when most companies had their employees working 6 days per week, several hours a day. Today, amid a global pandemic that completely disrupted the way we work and live, companies are starting to reconsider the 5-day workweek.
Where In The Workplace Are Females Progressing The Most?
A study by Reboot Digital analyzed the different sectors within a workplace to understand where women are advancing the most in the UK job market. The report showed that most industries still have a long way to go to minimize the gender pay gap and other key developments for gender equality.
Diversity & Inclusion Might Be Excluding Some Marginalized Groups
Diversity and inclusion have been a rising priority for businesses since the Black Lives Matter movement began in 2020. Before this, companies were aware of D&I and made some efforts to progress on this. These efforts have intensified in the last couple of years.
Bleisure, The New Hybrid Trend Emerging As Work-life Boundaries Blur
Technology and the pandemic have blurred the line between work, pleasure, the business world, and our personal lives.

Employees get sent off to a conference or meeting abroad and stay longer to enjoy a partly-subsidized beachside stay. The idea of bleisure travel varies from company to company.

This report showed that many employees would choose to have flexible hours before remote working privileges. The survey also found that most workers who are not expected to receive what they ask for will likely look for other job opportunities in the next few months.
Remote Work Is Completely Changing the Travel Industry?
Working from home might be the most significant change to the travel industry since commercial flights became a thing. In 2020, employees started to work from anywhere around the world. Any place with good Wi-Fi was a good office; whether at the beach or in the mountains, workers could make it their temporary workspace.
Global Mobility Is Getting Easier in 2022
