Category: Lifestyle and Fitness

Email: query-br82@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: 1800 Flowers Petal Talk Blog

Deadline: 12:00 PM EST - 8 January

Query:

As employees' desires and demands evolve, it can be challenging
for companies to keep up. With the holidays over, and we
approach the season of reflection, let's take a look at what
gifts and perks are really making the mark with employees. From
an employee perspective, I would love to hear:

What is the best gift you've ever received from a boss/company?
What is something surprising or special your employer has done
or said that has meant a lot to you, beyond common benefits like
days off and competitive pay? Like giving all employees doordash
gift cards for Friday night dinners at home. Why do you think
it's important for employers to listen to what their employees
really want and need rather than send a generic gift?

Requirements:

I would love answers from 1. An employee perspective 2. OR an
HR/leader POV on what they have seen and heard really work /
anecdotes.

4) Summary: Why Psychological Flexibility Is the Key to All Happy Marriages

Name: Jeremy Brown Fatherly

Category: Lifestyle and Fitness

Email: query-br88@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Fatherly

Deadline: 9:00 AM EST - 11 January

Query:

According to a new review in the Journal of Contextual
Behavioral Science, the most important factor for happy
relationships boils down to just one characteristic --
psychological flexibility.

The British Psychological Society's Research Digest blog
explains that a psychologically flexible person characterized
"by a set of attitudes and skills: they are generally open to
and accepting of experiences, whether they are good or bad; they
try to be mindfully aware of the present moment; they experience
difficult thoughts without ruminating on them; they seek to
maintain a broader perspective when faced with a challenge; they
continue to pursue important goals despite setbacks; and they
maintain contact with 'deeper values,' no matter how stressful a
day might be

I'd like to hear from some psychologists and therapists who can
talk about these findings, what psychological flexibility is,
and offer a few real-life examples of what it looks like.
