The Gratitude Ripple Effect
Positive psychology studies consistently show that giving thanks for the everyday parts of your life will contribute to greater happiness. Something as easy as writing in a gratitude journal daily or joining a 30-day gratitude challenge raises personal awareness of the positive in your life. The observations may include things as simple as acknowledging a good piece of chocolate or giving thanks for a sunny afternoon And research shows these simple acts work.
FMLA Manager Refresher
Managers have a slew of responsibilities related to supervising employee productivity and overseeing business operations. But it doesn't stop there. Managers are also tasked with being knowledgeable in a handful of policies and procedures to support their employees. For example, a manager without basic knowledge of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) may unknowingly provide inaccurate information to employees. It is easier than you think to make a mistake like this when dealing with a complicated policy.
Dealing with the Unknown: Return-to-Office Anxiety

You don a new outfit (your sweats don't seem office appropriate!), grab your packed lunch (not sure what restaurants will be open), and jump in your car early to make that 8:30 a.m. meeting in the office.

Your heart beats fast when you think about this change. You try to brush off these thoughts, but they sneak back into your worry queue at the most inopportune times. The feelings are real!
PTO: To Infinity and Beyond
Critics of unlimited paid time off (PTO) policies often believe this flexible approach will create havoc across the company; employees will take advantage of this generous benefit and it will be difficult to get work completed as a result. The research suggest otherwise. The results of a study conducted by Namely showed employees with discretionary vacation end up taking less time on average than those with a traditional policy.
