Let’s flip the idea of the childrearing career penalty for women on its head: What if being a working mom was seen as a career enhancement? Think about it for a moment. When men become working dads, they’re seen as settling down, getting grounded, reaching maturity. We perceive their family focus as a step forward […]

In the first six months of 2018, an estimated 17,120 people died in motor vehicle traffic crashes, but it’s doubtful the same number of national or global headlines appeared on these tragedies.

Just as artificial intelligence (AI) has dominated business conversations this year, it’s also infiltrating holiday gift-giving lists. And it’s no coincidence – the same AI technologies that are driving business-changing enterprise systems are also becoming useful in our homes.  In fact, this giving season is a good time to experience the future of life, both […]

At the best small companies, inclusion happens naturally. Colleagues are few in number and often just a desk away. Everyone feels like they belong. When it comes to company culture, and especially employee engagement, large companies have to try harder.

“Customer-first” mantras have become a trendy guiding light for businesses of all shapes, sizes and industries.
