    Linked: Growing number of college students want future employers to include mental health benefits

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Given everything we’ve seen in 2020, this probably shouldn’t surprise anyone. Young people who have been paying attention to what is happening to their peers as they head into the workplace, and their parents as they struggle with raising children while working from home, are interested in seeing more on the mental health front from…

    Linked: Work burnout rises despite company investments in mental health

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    As I’ve said before, many employers did the easy stuff. They invested in some mental health tools, promoted using employee assistance programs, talked more about mental health, heck they even gave people more time off or at least pushed people to actually use the time off they hadn’t been. And yet, here we are. Why?

    Because they haven’t yet done the hard work of making the workplace not the place that hurts mental health to start with. There’s no easy fix for that. It won’t happen in a few weeks, but if you don’t start looking at it, you’re going to find yourself without many employees to keep going. Because in 2021, people have options, and those options are only going to keep growing as younger generations make very different decisions about their careers than those of us in older generations are used to.

    The workplace will change one way or another. If your’s doesn’t want to, it will be killed.

    Day 2 of Gnomedex today. Watched Chris get all jazzed about RSS. That was sort of cool. Skipped the Zone Labs session on security because I needed to plug in the laptop. It seems to have some difficulty with being run on battery power. Hope it’s not a sign of more hardware problems! Met JR…

  • Google Plus and YouTube

    I guess because I was on vacation I sort of missed the big hullabaloo about Google moving to require YouTube users to sign on with a Google+ profile in order to leave comments. Either that or my mental filter saw that as non-news. I mean, it has been pretty obvious that there simply isn’t a…
