The vast majority of workplaces adopted a remote work structure during the Covid-19 pandemic. Since then, many have chosen to transition to a hybrid work environment. Hybrid work allows for increased flexibility – some employees may choose to work in the office while others prefer to work from home. A hybrid workplace can be productive and beneficial, but can also present unique challenges.

Hybrid work risks creating a sense of divide between in-office employees and remote employees; an “in crowd” and an “out crowd”. Those who choose to (or can) work in person in their office can be seen to have an advantage over remote employees, as they experience more face-to-face interactions with their leaders and other colleagues.

With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s become more difficult to set boundaries at work. What used to be a clear line between work and personal life has now been blurred by the work-from-home environment that many people find themselves in.

Though remote work allows for greater flexibility in your schedule, and saves you commuting time, many workers struggle to disconnect after work hours.

In this post, we’ll discuss some ways to help create clear boundaries for work versus home life and provide several tips to stay productive and navigate your workplace… minus the burn-out!

Performative Action: How to Take Real Action on Social Issues

Over recent years, social activism appears to be increasingly normalized. However, 2020 was a historic year for social activism. Millions across the world joined together to fight for equality, justice, and reparations. Those included in the millions of people were many companies and organizations who expressed their solidarity on social media platforms and their websites. As companies announced where they stand on particular issues, they either took action, lacked the resources to implement action, or simply advertised their involvement to increase their social capital. The latter is defined as performative activism.

Countless employers may pledge to take a more active stance on inclusion efforts in recent years, however, it is more than likely for those promises to fizzle out. This blog addresses the meaning of performative activism as well as the why’s and how to take real action to contribute to real change.
