Brooke Salazar and Ali Harris are reminding us of key topics and ways to refill our cup for the new year on this final episode of our Light Your Fire: Beyond Burnout series.

Masks are used as a safety precaution for us against COVID-19. While that’s an obvious health benefit to wearing one, there are downsides as well.

Employees have things going on in their lives outside the workplace, and the COVID-19 pandemic is only compounding those struggles. That can lead to less production — even from your best workers.

Sometimes we tell ourselves things just to get through the workday or the week. Sometimes those things we tell ourselves are just flat out lies, but we may not even know it.

Chances are you can’t just take a luxurious bubble bath in the middle of your work day. So, what other ways can you make sure you’re practicing self-care?

“Light Your Fire: Beyond Burnout” is a campaign filled with podcasts, blogs and education designed to give HR professionals, employees and others in the workforce the tools, support and motivation to end the year on a high note.

Employee burnout seems to be the hot topic as we enter the third quarter and still working through the pandemic. How can you spot which employees are burned out, and what can you do to help them?

Imagine one of your best performing employees comes to you with an offer from another company. The counteroffer you work through with your employee could determine how likely you are to retain them.

We are all probably pros when it comes to making video calls and video conferencing by now. How many of these from their list do you hear in a single call?

The goals you set for your employees for the third quarter may not be attainable because of the pandemic. Now would be a good time to re-evaluate and set out more realistic goals.

Employees haven’t been using PTO during this pandemic for a variety of reasons, and each one makes sense. However, that could lead to employees being less engaged as we head into the final two quarters of the year.

It’s a common question employees ask: How can I get a raise? There are ways to bring it up to your manager that can be productive.
