A workplace futurist is warning a period of "conscious" proximity bias is looming, in light of a survey that found most CEOs plan to reward workers for returning to the office.
The single most impactful thing hybrid leaders can do is to create "glue" in workplaces, by "sticking together, bonding and fusing talented people", a leadership expert says.
"Coworker quality" has recently become a much more important driver for employees making decisions about leaving and joining organisations, new research shows.
Getting people back to the office is challenging even for employers recognised as 'best places to work', according to a CEO who is experimenting with new ways to reconnect employees.
An employer had "no case to answer" regarding an employee's alleged work-from-home rights, but whether she was bullied after requesting flexibility remains to be determined, the Federal Circuit Court has ruled.
Despite "enthusiastic speculation" about flexible work agreements being the "future" of employment, their long-term feasibility is still unknown, and they are not yet an "inalienable" right, a commissioner has said in upholding the rejection of an employee's request.
An employee's "openly derisive" claim that her employer, in rejecting her flexible work request, confused its operational needs with its inability to manage its own workforce, was a "slap in the face", a commission has chastised.
Some employers have successfully stepped up to the task of managing psychosocial safety, but in many other workplaces, initiatives are falling flat. Join us for an HR Daily webinar to understand what's holding back progress in this critical space and how to move forward.
