When it comes to salary and wage negotiations, research suggests that women are more reluctant to ask and less effective when they do.
With technological advances, new forms of work have emerged, offering professionals greater flexibility and freedom. In today’s world, more and more professionals are opting for flexible working modes that offer them the freedom to work from anywhere. Two terms commonly used to describe these ways of working are the digital nomad and the telecommuter.
We need to focus on workplace wellbeing more than ever. Having several three-day weekends in one month also brings into focus the recent four-day working week pilots (without loss of pay) in many countries.
Work is an integral part of our daily lives and a large part of our personal identity. However, with the rise of remote jobs and flexible working hours, more and more people are facing a new challenge: loneliness at work.
Co-working spaces have become an innovative way to work away from a central office without necessarily being alone at home.
Co-working spaces have been growing in all the world’s major cities for 15 years. But what makes them so popular? Why and when did they appear? Who are their members?
New technologies such as artificial intelligence and robots are leading employers to rethink the way they work.
Happy New Year to all of our customers, may the New Year be your best ever!

Even if team members work remotely, they must still demonstrate a set of acceptable behaviours. This is even more valid for virtual teams:
– Time slot during which team members are reachable
– Attendance at mandatory virtual meetings
o Log in on time, if possible.
o Have the right to express yourself freely.
o Listen to and respect all points of view.
Remote working has become much more common since the pandemic sent people home from their offices and into the Zoom universe. This has put the onus on managers to find new and better ways to engage with and motivate staff, and we’re still learning how best to do this.
Perhaps the commonest advice given to managers is to provide remote staff with clear, measurable goals. Set targets, monitor progress, measure results.
Onboarding and training of new employees are key steps in a telework context so that the new recruit quickly becomes an entire member of the team.
By adopting a well-defined induction and training plan, the challenges of teleworking can be managed effectively.
How can this be done?
