1) Summary: The impact of WFH (sociological, psychological)Name: Lorena Blaga CommercialCafe
Category: Business and FinanceEmail: query-bnaj@helpareporter.net
Media Outlet: CommercialCafe
Deadline: 12:00 AM PST - 10 December
Query:
CommercialCafe is currently working on an expert roundup
discussing the psychological and sociological impact of working
from home.
We are really looking forward to reading your insights to the
questions below.
1. What would you say is the sociological impact of the WFH
period. What do people miss about the office life?
2. In the future, when we will be working both in the office and
at home - how many days should we work at the office, in order
to keep a healthy balance between the two?
What are the benefits/ disadvantages if one or the other is too
emphasized?
3. What do you think about WFH when it comes to creativity? Is
it helping employees with it or does it make them more
exhausted?
Thank you for your time!
Requirements:
Please respond if you are a psychologist, professor or
sociologist or have experience working in this field. Please
include your details. Will credit social media, blog or website.

Query:
1. Do you think carriers should start to offer a "work from
home" discount now that COVID-19 has turned many folks into
remote employees? Why or why not?
2. Many home insurance companies offer a discount to retired
homeowners, and the premise would be the same for
"work-from-home" discounts. Do you think carriers would just
apply the "retired" discount for those who ask for a "WFH"
discount? Why or why not?
3. What existing discounts can those working from home look for
or ask their home or auto agent about?
Requirements:
Insurance brokers, economic professors, finance professors,
insurance company professionals, professors of insurance/risk,

Query:
With vaccine distribution becoming a reality in the US, people
are wondering what that means for returning to on-site work. Can
I be legally required to vaccinate before returning? Can
companies refuse to consider hiring candidates who haven't
gotten vaccinated? Or what if I feel unsafe around my coworkers
who refuse to vaccinate -- is this an issue I can bring up to my
manager/company higher-ups? I'd love to hear from a legal expert
on the various legal rights as well as obligations companies
might have around COVID vaccines and safety.
Requirements:

Media Outlet: Storage Magazine
Deadline: 12:00 PM EST - 14 December
Query:
I am working on an article, due by Dec. 15 for February Products
of the Year issues of Storage magazine. At the end of 2019,
scarcely anyone had an inkling of the events that would come to
dominate 2020. And that humbling sense of uncertainty must also
be applied to a look ahead from 2020 into the mists of 2021. We
will talk to experts, analysts, and industry insiders to try to
pierce the gloom - getting a better grasp on how organizations
have adjusted to the many "new realities" of 2020 and piecing
together plausible ways in which investments may be made in
technology - based on the fluidity of requirements as well as
the ongoing advancements becoming available. Coverage would
include technologies such as storage and infrastructure --
mostly of the various converged varieties (CI, dHCI, composable,
HCI, etc.) -- and software, hardware and services) that are
likely to be used widely by enterprises in the coming year (that
may have not been used fairly widely before). Sidebars will
likely include: * What's NOT hot - a factual and slightly
irreverent look at the fallout from a remarkable year and the
challenges ahead - maybe emphasizing anything that fell flat
because of the pandemic * Cutting edge topics (emerging
buzzwords, common pain points, etc.)
Requirements:
Happy to work via email or phone. Strongly prefer analysts,
consultants, or academics...

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 9 December
Query:
I'm authoring a guest article on SMM with a working title of
Yes, TikTok: The Argument for Putting Your Brand on the World's
Coolest, Youngest Social Media Platform.
I won't pretend that I'm some hip Gen Z kid (and chances are if
you're reading this, neither are you). But eventually, Gen Z
will graduate college and hold jobs that require decision making
and buying. The oldest members of them already hold entry level
positions.
Like all of us, they will be marketed to by B2B companies. What
do you think the philosophy of marketing to GenZ on a B2B level
should look like? How will it be different than B2B marketing to
Millennials, Gen X, and Baby Boomers?
And how do you see the medium of TikTok being used for B2B
marketing?
Requirements:
Priority will be given to anyone who has actually tried (and
hopefully found success) implementing a B2B campaign on TikTok,
but I won't hold my breath :)
If you have a qualified opinion on this subject, I still might
quote you. No promises about backlinks, though (sorry white hat
SEO people!)
