You have a job interview over Zoom. The kids are home. Now what?
How to react: I’ve noticed that when things like this happen, people tend to get flustered and distracted—and rightly so.

The new top challenge for HR teams: Get comfortable with being uncomfortable
New expectations around employee experience The employee experience left the confines of the office when teams shifted to working remotely at scale in early 2020. Office culture was brought into homes, which meant employee well-being and safety needed to be fostered at a distance. As a result, employees now need to know your organization supports them as they navigate at-home childcare responsibilities, increased health risks and a weakened economy. If not, you risk losing workers to a more flexible and supportive career option. … [Read more...] about The new top challenge for HR teams: Get comfortable with being uncomfortable
