Quiet quitting is the popular new Great Resignation -era term for an employee who hasn’t quit (yet), but definitely exists on a spectrum of disengagement. As employees become increasingly fed up with some aspect of their job or company, they may withdraw from others and withhold discretionary effort, instead just doing the bare minimum to get by without attracting too much negative attention.

During my time as an Office Manager, I’ve seen (oddly) many types of evacuation scenarios from fires or false alarms which are pretty typical to flooding (from a ceiling!) It’s probably pretty obvious where this blog will take us in that I am in favour of evacuation drills and ensuring employees, visitors, contractors and those in charge of supporting an evacuation e.g. fire wardens are well versed on what to do, where to go and how to ensure they are safe and sound should anything ever happen.

Trust at work is crucial for business operations. So, why do so many organizations get it so wrong? The concept of trust — particularly in the workplace — is deceptively simple. What is trust at work? It’s a measure of relationships, how one group (employees) feels valued and understood by another (management). The presence of trust indicates healthy workplace culture , as well as a host of benefits to the organization, from resilience and innovation to stock market success.

As a qualified DSE Assessor, I am a huge advocate of carrying out DSE (display screen equipment) assessments and ensuring that each and every employee within a company has the opportunity to have one. Or, at the very least to carry out a self-assessment following a brief training session / guide or eLearning tool which is the legal requirement in the UK under the HSE (Health & Safety Executive) in the Display Screen Regulations 1992.

An exceptional employee experience can help differentiate your company from your competitors. Here’s how to improve your employee experience strategy. The employee experience (also known as EX) starts with the hiring and onboarding process and continues until a person leaves your company.

The level of layoffs at several Big Tech firms has been the main source of news and comment over the past week or two. Around 11,000 people at Facebook and another 7,500 at Twitter are to be made redundant. Elon Musk then ensured the conversation moved on by forbidding remote work completely. This is a blasphemous act in the era of wars for talent, great resignations and quiet quittings , and inevitably he has been roundly denounced for it.

Your company holiday party is an opportunity to show employees that you appreciate them and to strengthen your culture— but only if all employees feel included in the celebration. Planning an inclusive holiday party can be trickier than it might seem. For starters, not all employees celebrate the same holidays. Some might not even celebrate the holiday season at all.

“Thank you.”. It’s a simple phrase, short and sweet. But how often does it actually come out of your mouth? It’s kind of surprising how hard it really is to make saying “thank you” something that comes naturally instead of another item on your to-do list. Except it is hard. It can slip your mind. You’re not sure how to say it, or show it. And sometimes it feels awkward (complimenting—giving and receiving—doesn’t come easily to everyone).

The argument about what it takes to encourage people to come into the office more often seems to have boiled down to an equation. It’s now common to hear somebody argue that the office has to be worth the commute it takes to get to it. So, if you want people to spend more time in the building, you need to do the maths.
