Holiday pay can sometimes be a source of confusion for employers. For which days are you required to allow employees time off, and must that time be paid? What about when employees ask off for personal religious holidays, but the office as a whole remains open for business? Private sector employers generally have full discretion over exactly which holidays are observed by the business.

If you’ve been casual about the topic of employee engagement or figured that your employees are probably doing fine (because you’d know if something wasn’t working, right?), it’s time to take a second look.

Almost every conversation our team has with business leaders touches on today’s pace of change. That pace often prompts employers to make quick decisions, but the problem is those are not always made with the right data on hand.

It’s not enough to simply oversee the daily operations and work in the office—you also have to ensure that employees feel confident, respected and empowered.

Bad management costs the U.S. economy nearly $400 billion annually, according to the Harvard Business Review. Much of this has to do with employee engagement—a study from Dale Carnegie Training found that nearly 75% of employees are not fully engaged at work, and the number one factor that contributes to engagement is an employee’s relationship with their immediate supervisor.

To say that Baby Boomers and Millennials aren’t speaking the same language when it comes to both of their relationships with work, careers, and life in general in our modern world would be the understatement of the century. Boomers are (understandably) pretty “old-school” about how things should be done, about the value of good old-fashioned elbow grease and grunt work, and about pushing through obstacles and adversity with nothing more than a little bit of brute force and street smarts.

In the 1980s, Hans Moravec and other AI researchers discovered a curious finding that we now know as Moravec’s Paradox. Essentially, AI can very easily learn to do things that are “hard” for humans, such as advanced statistics and analysis.

As the guide explained the safety instructions, the group was told that if you have an “out-of-raft-experience,” it is important to “Be an Active Participant in Your Own Rescue.” In other words, if you fall out of the raft, don’t just give up and hope for the best.
