Pandemic brought along with it a ‘new normal’ that shadowed itself even in the professional space. It was a task transitioning work to our home offices. The biggest challenge now is to traverse back as with rising vaccine rates and pandemics ceasing to be, the workspaces reopen.

Any company’s ability to attract and retain a diverse workforce is essential. There are many different types of people that make up the workforce, and one term encompasses all of them. It goes much beyond the physical appearance of the personnel, including their race, ethnicity, and religious affiliation.

One of the many benefits of fostering an inclusive and courteous work environment is that it enhances employee communication with teammates and fosters a positive working relationship with management.

It is safe to say that this year has been a difficult one for many businesses throughout the world. In the wake of the outbreak of the COVID-19 crisis, many companies were forced to implement layoffs, cutbacks, or even shut down.

And like most workplaces, yours probably suffers from slow days and distracted employees trying to get over the food, the booze and stress of the holiday season. 

Empty desks and absent workers are a common sight. Some employees may have made travel plans. Others may have families in town. Yet others may want to go back home early to watch reruns of their cruise videos. The rest may be at various stages of recovery from the many pressures of the holidays.
