For many of us, work is one of the most significant factors in our general health and mood. When it goes well, it can be excellent. Work can be creative, lucrative and sociable. But when it does not, we often feel overloaded and stressed. Post COVID-19, many companies are making an effort to show they care. They offer better hours, remote work options, and lunchtime yoga classes.

Young people, those under 30, constitute more than 50% of today’s global population. Projections show that this figure will rise to 75% by 2030. Generation Z (Gen Z) already makes up 27% of the workforce. They bring a unique set of talents and insights that are reshaping the world of work.

If last year brought "quiet quitting", this year brings its noisier, angrier siblings. Loud quitting and rage applying are all about making a fuss. Does an employee want a pay rise? They’re asking for it. A team is unhappy with their manager? They’re letting people know.

When you've worked hard to get places and others have recognised your talents, suffering from imposter syndrome can feel like a cruel twist. But what is it? And how can you mitigate its effects? Chart-topping singers, Olympic gold medallists, and even former US Presidents have all felt the weight of imposter syndrome.

Savvy business owners recognise employees' need to maintain a healthy balance between their professional and personal lives. Having the flexibility to manage responsibilities such as school runs and meal planning is one aspect, but there's more to it.

The only thing that’s constant in life is change. Many companies are now choosing hybrid workforce models to power their operations. As a result, they are adopting the technology necessary to complement this type of flexible model. The COVID-19 pandemic forever altered how the modern workplace functions: trends clearly show the demand for the hybrid workplace model.

While some aspects of office life may be replicated as we work from home, there are some instances where it can’t be replaced. Do you miss the office? You’re not alone.

The idea that every morning office workers wake early, jump into polluting cars and overcrowded trains, and travel many miles to their place of work will soon seem inconceivable. The pandemic has highlighted the fact, that it as a model that’s already had its day.

Agile has become a bit of a buzzword in the last year and for good reason. Agility is key to success in a digitally transforming working world. 'The measure of intelligence is the ability to change,' Einstein once said, and it’s a concept widely recognised by businesses today in conversations about flexibility and agility. But while these terms are often used interchangeably, they refer to two vastly different business capabilities.

In today’s world, clever tech and cloud computing enable many of us to work from anywhere. Can executive assistants do their job remotely too? We all know what the acronym WFH stands for but what about WFA? In an era of rapid technological change, working from home has quickly given way to working from anywhere – anywhere with an internet connection, that is.
