🌐 Back in the groove after an amazing week at Workday Rising in Barcelona followed by some much-needed family time!

#FutureOfWork implies a more diverse and inclusive environment. One often overlooked aspect is how we celebrate holidays. 💡Are your holiday calendars diverse enough to represent all your employees? Do you have flexible PTO policies and effective communication around various cultural, religious, and personal holidays? Recognizing and respecting these celebrations can boost employee engagement and productivity. Encourage inclusive celebrations, offer sensitivity training, and be mindful of holiday stress. Let's all do our part to foster an inclusive workplace that values diversity. Remember, an understanding and inclusive approach to holidays can reinforce your brand image as an employer of choice. 🌍#DiversityInclusion #HolidayCalendar #WorkplaceWellbeing.

Bernie Sanders introduced a bill last week that would establish a “standard” 32-hour workweek and lower the overtime threshold after which employers are required to pay time and a half. The Vermont socialist is late to the party again. The free market has already delivered what he’s seeking. The growing availability of four-day workweeks, hybrid schedules, remote work and the gig economy reveals that Mr. Sanders’s bill isn’t radical as much as it is superfluous and unnecessary. The senator is attempting to legislate a work culture that a growing number of businesses in the private economy are already providing for employees. In his book “The End of Work: Why Your Passion Can Become Your Job,” John Tamny, my colleague at the Parkview Institute, explains how labor conditions have evolved for the better. Mr. Tamny writes that as societal and personal prosperity increase, so do our work options, allowing us to take advantage of our talents in jobs that don’t feel like work—because we actually enjoy them. It’s a superfluous effort. The market has already moved toward a 32-hour workweek. In his 2018 book, Mr. Tamny predicted the move from the traditional five-day workweek. Fast-forward to 2024, and it’s increasingly common for businesses to offer four-day workweeks, hybrid schedules or remote-work options. Surveys predict this trend will grow substantially. So why is Mr. Sanders pushing to legislate a 32-hour workweek? Amusingly, the senator argues his legislation is necessary because “the financial gains from the major advancements in artificial intelligence, automation, and new technology must benefit the working class, not just corporate CEOs and wealthy stockholders on Wall Street.” The irony is these very gains in artificial intelligence are making the 32-hour workweek possible for so many employees— without legislation. One might be tempted to dismiss the current labor environment as merely a byproduct of the pandemic, but it’s largely tied to innovation. Mr. Tamny predicted on C-Span in 2018 that automation would make the typical worker significantly more productive: “And so the need to have them there five days a week is going to be yesterday’s news, in much the same way that, in the 1930s, interestingly enough, the six-day workweek became yesterday’s

Every four years, February gains an additional day, making it 29 days long. While this occurrence may raise questions about compensation for the extra workday, it's important to note that many employees receive a fixed monthly salary, potentially making a leap year less impactful for them. However, for those on hourly rates, the situation could differ. As a result, some employees may focus on the potential challenges of an extra workday. It's beneficial to shift the focus towards seizing opportunities. Consider emphasising positive aspects such as: - Engaging employees through small acts of appreciation. - Treating employees to small gestures or surprises, such as buying small treats like chocolate. - Offering a few unexpected hours off or allowing those who can to take time off. - Organising a team lunch and a brief break for rejuvenation. - Prioritising and checking in on your employees' mental health. By highlighting the positive aspects and encouraging a collaborative and supportive environment, a leap year can become an opportunity for team building and employee well-being.
