Linked: Nearly half of employees received no wellbeing check-in last year, research reveals
You cannot claim to care about the people who work for you, and not even check in on their well-being. Those two things do not go together at all.

Let me just throw this out there instead. When your workforce is remote you widen the pool of people who can work for you and want to work for you. That wider candidate pool invites more talented people to come work for you and talented people will find their own ways to be productive and innovative.
Linked – More Governments Granting Themselves Extra Censorship Powers With ‘Fake News’ Laws
Tim hits the nail on the head here, there’s a very fine line between trying to weed out “fake” information, and outright censorship. “Fake news is apparently everywhere. All over Europe, legislators and officials are trying to regulate content with “fake news” legislation and directives, as though the term could somehow be narrowly-defined enough that…
