I'm working on an article about software programs meant to
assess whether employees represent an insider threat. These
semi-automated systems are usually called "continuous
evaluation" programs, and they can keep track of employees'
criminal, financial, marital, and social media records, among
others.
I'm seeking perspectives from employees who have been part of
such continuous evaluation programs, particularly employees in
the health-care sector. I'd like to hear about their experiences
and insights from being on the receiving end of this monitoring.
Thanks! Sarah

With the COVID-19 pandemic and people working from home, there's
been a vast change in professional dress and what people wear
for work.
For Counselor's Promo Insiders podcast, I'd like to interview a
personal stylist or apparel expert who could speak about the
changing norms in what people are wearing.
Our readers are promotional products companies who sell logoed
merch. This topic is relevant to them for two reasons:
1. As sales and businesspeople, what they wear for work is
important for interacting with clients and coworkers.
2. Since they help other businesses purchase logoed clothing

apparel items are in-demand and being worn and which aren't.
Requirements:
Ideal candidates are personal stylists or apparel experts. Must
be knowledgeable about clothing, fashion and what people wear
for work, and can speak to the changing norms this year in

encourage employees, especially team leaders and managers. For
instance, are pay raises beneficial and if so, over what time
period (after a year, five years, ad hoc, etc)? Also what
benefits can be given to those who show leadership or are
long-term employees? (certain perks, cell phones, etc). Any
other insight on ways to encourage managers and leading team
members would be helpful too. Thanks!
