While return-to-office (RTO) mandates are largely in place, a staggering 66% of employees prefer remote work on most days, with 57% feeling compelled to work in person more than desired. However, it’s not just about flexibility. Nearly half of respondents (45%) report being less productive on in-office days, challenging the assumption that pre...

How HR Managers Can Use Video to Boost Employee Engagement

Video is an incredibly versatile medium with proven results in increasing productivity and boosting morale among employees. Not only is it a powerful tool for communication, but it is also highly effective in transmitting information.
