“When it comes to your work, great teams and teamwork aren’t a nice-to-have; they’re a must-have.”

Employees who feel #ConnectionAtWork are twice as #engaged as those who don’t. It greatly influences how productive/happy/creative they are (& how long they stay at the company!)

[Harvard Business Review @HarvardBiz]

Only 16% of employees are engaged at work.

@DukeEnergy I’ve called every day since Thursday to report this tree down on a line and no one has even come by to see it. I am under the impression that this would be considered an emergency. When will someone make sure this is safe? It’s in my yard and draped over my roof.

This is exactly why we need a hybrid work model, always. This employer ensured this employee will NEVER be as engaged again.

Our modern education systems don't reveal much understanding of how to transform our emotions. To do so, we have to use our intelligence. We need to conduct ourselves with non-violence and on the basis of compassion, cultivate respect for others.

Toni Morrison's books focus, without apology or explanation, on black lives.

"I've spent my entire writing life trying to make sure that the white gaze was not the dominant one in any of my books," she told Charlie Rose in 1998.

Morrison has died at 88.

If your devoted employee is also stressed and frustrated, you may be at higher risk of losing her than her unengaged coworker. https://t.co/BWoc8LCLH8

Being treated badly can give you a false sense of what is acceptable or even healthy. Less poison is still poison.

As someone who doesn’t like “breakfast food” I applaud the bravery of ordering a chicken parm for breakfast 🙌

I have been known to eat a breakfast salad every once in a while...

“The company will pay Richer an initial £9.2m for the stake but the businessman is giving £3.5m of that back to staff, who will receive £1,000 for every year they have worked for the retailer.”

“This is to thank loyal, hardworking colleagues.”

A great start- others take note!

You’re only making a mess by trying to put things straight. You’re trying to straighten out a wiggly world and no wonder you’re in trouble.
