Today's workplace extends beyond the physical office -- particularly as companies roll out mandatory work-from-home policies amidst the Covid-19 outbreak. As new developments continue to unravel surrounding the global pandemic, it's likely that employees will need additional support to maintain their personal well-being and levels of performance employers are asking them to achieve. Though it's true that many employees are unfortunately getting laid off, companies need to be cognizant of the fact that employee turnover is still a possibility during these times. A recent report from Limeade (an employee experience software company) surveyed 1,000 full-time U.S. employees and found that there's one overarching factor that can be the antidote to unwanted employee turnover: organizational care.

In the world of business, everyone loves a contract. What’s not to love? They make you feel warm and fuzzy. A contract implies commitment, negotiation, and agreements to mitigate risk—all good things. advertisement advertisement After signing a contract, both sides feel confident that they can start from a place of trust with clear expectations in place. But here’s what many companies get wrong: While employment may be secured on paper, it also represents a relationship that needs to be continually fostered and maintained . Not taking the above into account is why many leaders are often blindsided by high turnover rates (as we all saw with the Great Resignation ). “What happened?” they ask. They had a contract, after all, which is a “done deal.” But I like to remind my peers in leadership that, just as in a marriage, a piece of paper isn’t a guarantee for future longevity in the workplace. advertisement Contracts fall short of … [Read more...] about Instead of binding contracts, focus on this workplace touchstone for connected team

"You become the average of the five people you spend the most time with," is another popular saying .

That's possibly the case with California and its battle over data. There is no question the automotive manufacturers want data from hundreds of sensors for a multitude of reasons ranging from warranty reduction, repair prognostics, machine learning of safety-related systems and, yes, advertising revenue. As the former CEO of Ford, Mark Fields, announced to the world in 2016 , "As our vehicles become part of the Internet of things and as consumers give permission to us to collect that data, we'll also become an information company. Our differentiator will be how we use that data to satisfy our customers in ways that they never thought possible in their lives."

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Lee Ainslie's Maverick Capital recorded its second-worst quarter ever during the first quarter, a dramatic turnaround from last year's first quarter when the fund enjoyed its strongest quarter ever. During the first three months of this year, Maverick returned -22.9%, compared to the S&P 500's loss of 4.6% and the MS World's decline of 5.2%.

Finally, biotech stocks as a whole tumbled because they were grouped in with other long-duration assets, and dollar-volume M&A activity in the space has declined significantly in the last 12 months. Ainslie believes concerns about the impact of discount rates on … [Read more...] about Lee Ainslie On Maverick Capital’s Housing Shorts And New Healthcare Stock
