What Is a Work Week?

How long is a “work week?” Which days do you work? Who determines that? If you were asked to work ten hours a day, six days a week, would you consider that excessive? Until a good way through the 20th century, that was the norm. Then we began working Monday to Friday, either 8 to

Some Jobs May Never Go Back to the Office

Many companies who offered remote work are now requiring workers to return to the office, at least part of the time.

We often use the term as a catch-all: the team is neither fully remote or fully co-located so

A Study on Innovation and Why It Matters

Everyone knows that being in the same room is better for creativity than working apart, and that’s why people are heading into the office at least part-time. We know that, right? Not so fast.

Work From Home and the Endowment Effect

As organizations put plans together for returning to the office and whatever the next chapter of their business lives looks like, they are finding an unexpected barrier.
