Screening applicants will never go out of style, but doing it via the phone or in-person… will. With video interviewing, a series of predetermined questions can be asked of each applicant to help make better decisions of who to invite to the next round. If you’ve already adopted video interviewing into your candidate screening process, congrats!

How often do you find yourself working within the constraints of a pre-approved budget? The truth is, unless you're Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg, you probably resonate with this pretty strongly. No matter which industry you're in, you likely at one point or another have had to bring your internal spend up to your C-Suite (or even to your Board) and explain where each chunk of change is going.

We all make mistakes. In fact, mistakes are part of life for every business and every working person. That said, a high-profile mistake by the CEO or top leader of a small to medium-sized company can inflict outsized consequences upon a company and its employees. Consider the well-publicized turmoil at credit card processing firm, Gravity Payments of Seattle. Regret. Responsibility. Resolve.

People Artists Use Their Eyes to See. On Friday I was returning to Winnipeg from Montreal. I had an hour before my flight and went to the Air Canada Maple Leaf lounge. As I scanned the lounge the travellers looked so weary and seemed impervious to the hard work of the catering and cleaning staff’s constant work to replenish food and beverages and to keep everything fresh and tidy.

Neither scenario is ideal. It sounds like a small and commonplace thing, but what can’t come through in the video is how much progress he has made.

Some towns in Sweden decided to switch to a six-hour workday for their public employees. The results have been great. People are happier. Patients at a nursing home are getting much better care. Everyone has enough time for family and hobbies, and I can only imagine burnout will be a thing of a past. We should all adopt it! Except for one big problem–these are public-sector employees. This means their employers don’t have to be concerned about, well, you know, money. But the home had to hire 14 extra employees. You actually have to increase your income.

The ability to ask for feedback in real-time revealed some interesting facts about the skills that managers care most about. With 32,978 feedback interactions analyzed, results turned out to be more surprising than expected.

In the same way that your muscles eventually give out during a workout, your mental muscle starts to fatigue throughout the day, hampering your ability to care, make choices, stay motivated, weigh decisions, and ultimately take action. Who quit first?

I do not want to attend for multiple reasons (I do not care to be in the hot sun, swim, eat barbecue, drink beer, etc). This event has nothing to do with the function of my job, but my employer insists that attendance is mandatory and if I do not attend then I will be deducted one personal day. have offered to work rather than attend, but my employer said no, as the office is closed that day and I am not allowed to work remotely.
