Seeking examples and input from financial advisors, work at home
experts and more.
Many companies are making working from home a permanent thing.
So how best can employees capitalize on that? Please provide
specific money saving examples. For e.g. - Maybe you don't need
that second car, which means no car note and no insurance &
licensing fees, no repairs and maintenance.
Will your company spring for WFH computers and other equipment
rather than using your own?
Will your company help cover your internet fees? You can plan on
skipping wardrobe expenditures, too. Home security systems might
be moot if you're home all the time. No need for a dog walker or
other out-of-the-house services. Dry cleaning? Forget that.

I'm developing an article for Indeed about how employers can
reinvent their hiring strategies in the current environment. Our
thought leadership content received more than 2 million
pageviews last year, and we've featured interviews with Julie
Zhou, Susan Cain and Kim Scott among many others. So this is an
excellent opportunity to gain wider exposure as a thought
leader.
I'm looking for HR executives, talent acquisition leaders, and
other subject matter experts who can shed light on important
hiring trends today. If you'd like to be considered for
inclusion in the ebook, please provide brief answers to the
following questions in your response. I'll follow up with you as
needed.
1. What are the top challenges in hiring that you face today?
How are those challenges different from one year ago? What
solutions are you pursuing to address the challenges?
2. Do you feel this is a good time to hire in your industry? If
so, why? If not, why not?
3. Are you currently hiring and if so, for what types of roles?
4. Have you made significant changes to your recruiting,
interviewing, and hiring practices since early March (when
COVID-19 quarantines began)? If so, what changes have you made
and why did you make them? What have been the results, and did
the results meet your expectations?
5. Can you give an estimate of how many of your employees are
working from home now vs. at the start of 2020?
6. With the rise of remote work and flexible hours, have you
hired or do you plan to hire talent you might not have
considered before due to location or other constraints that no
longer are applicable?
7. Due to remote work or other factors, are you rethinking not
just where work gets done but how it gets done? If so, what
impact might that have on your future hiring?
8. Have you hired new employees virtually, either before or
during the pandemic? If so, what has been your experience? Do
you plan to continue using virtual hiring after the pandemic is
over?
9. In recent weeks or months, have you made any changes, or are
you planning any changes, to your hiring to make it more diverse
and inclusive? If so, what changes have you made and what have
been the results?
10. Do you have lessons learned, best practices, strategies or
tips to share, particularly in regards to what you've
experienced during the pandemic and the recent racial unrest?
IMPORTANT: Please tell me your full name, job title, company,
and industry/business sector. Also, please include a link to

From a recent study:

associated with workplace factors but also heavily influenced by
personal factors.We found that the factors that drive burnout
are much more closely related to the factors that drive
depressive symptoms than previously realized."

how do you differentiate between burnout and depression?

Hello -
For our next issue that comes out in August, we would like to do
a story about how retail stores can extend their holiday
shopping season. Typically in the toy industry (or any retail
store), the main holiday shopping season runs from Halloween to
Christmas. We'd like to do something about how that can start
sooner (September). We realize there are a lot of potential
patrons out there that don't like early holiday shopping, but
for small toy store retailers, everything helps and an earlier
start could be beneficial.

One of the most important skills a leader can hone is listening
- not simply hearing someone out, but purposely considering what
that person is saying. Great listeners make better leaders
because listening makes others feel recognized and appreciated
and builds trust. Learning to be a better listener is more
important than ever: more teams are working remote, removing
non-verbal cues from the equation; many professionals are
struggling emotionally amid protests and the pandemic. We'd like
to explore ways leaders can intentionally step up their
listening skills now.
Requirements:
Looking for responses from leaders, executive coaches, and other
experts. Please share one or two tips and why the advice is
especially relevant now. Please be prescriptive. Be sure to
include you name/title/company.

for this article and ask them one question.
2) I'm most looking for someone who can precisely, concisely
communicate their expertise and insight.
3) This will likely become an ongoing feature, with a reputation
angle attached, so I would consider not only using the best
people more than once, I will consider writing an article with
just one coach in the future with one coach.
4) For this feature, I will ask you about this quote: "As a
general rule, reputation is built on manner as much as
achievement." (Joseph Conrad)
The NEWSLETTER: I have published 38 issues and interviewed 47
people for it: CEOs, professors, executive coaches, authors,
psychologists and high-level professionals in different fields
and countries.
Requirements:
I am most drawn to a mix of expertise, excellent communication
skills and people who can speak in close alignment to the topic
and angle presented.
1) Please, in one or two concise paragraphs introduce yourself
to me, like we're getting along at a social function and I've
asked you about what you do. No need to sell me. I just want to
know in a conversational way who you are.
2) In a precise, concise yet meaningful way, provide your
initial thoughts about the quote, from an executive coach
perspective: "As a general rule, reputation is built on manner
as much as achievement. (Joseph Conrad)"
3) If I quote you in the feature, I am willing to provide a link
to your professional profile and another link to your practice
or other professional website. I will upload a photo of you with
the piece.
4) I always commit to shine a positive light on you and your
work and quote you accurately and in context.
