Love this article from @CIOOnline that profiles black #mentorship programs. Uplifting #IT careers through a shared experience is an important initiative that I hope we see more of: https://t.co/KsluhFOUyW.

Wow. In Q4 2022, 79% of U.S. employees were #remote or #hybrid, according to Statista. The challenge lies in developing an online #companyculture that keeps employees engaged. Great article from @ComputerWorld: https://t.co/FI6PxfAVq5

A toxic workplace not only leads to #mentalhealth issues — it can also be detrimental to your physical health, especially for #WOC. @MITSMR explains the connection in this article: https://t.co/aCIHVHW5Hy

A recent study analyzed in @HarvardBiz explains that women are more likely to get “nicer” #feedback at work – and it’s holding them back. We need to strike a “balance between kindness and candor” to give the best feedback: https://t.co/rgkg7fvu5L.

How #employers respond to the pressure of economic and social challenges will determine their desirability for prospective #employees. @HarvardBiz dives into the top 9 trends that will shape work in 2023 and beyond. Are there any you’re seeing already? https://t.co/vu5KqxIMNy

Are industry #clouds — cloud services that provide specific needs to niche industries — the next big thing? While I can see how this is attractive to some, it will be interesting to see how it plays out. More @CIOOnline: https://t.co/dLjglPP24D

Interesting read in @Fortune that underscores a much larger issue for #womenintech — even the metaverse, a recently new endeavor, has a lack of women in #leadership roles: https://t.co/piygvPIHMW

[Robin Allen @Robin_M_Allen]

As a #leader, I know it’s crucial to help employees grow. If you can identify ways they are being held back, you can work with them toward advancement. Good read from @HarvardBiz: https://t.co/oQVWXEMwyu

Recent reports are showing that #DEI initiatives stalled in 2022 after 2 years of gains. Now’s not the time to be complacent — hopefully we’ll see an uptick in progress, or at least a more concerted effort this year: https://t.co/QJnokjaX9e

[Robin Allen @Robin_M_Allen]

#DEI is not something you can fake — and for the companies that do, it can have a truly negative impact on team members. @Inc explores more: https://t.co/QfHhPQfzUI
