Why Wellbeing Is Key to Retention of Hybrid and Remote Workers: Interview with Cesar Carvalho, CEO at Gympass (Wise Decision Maker Guide 85)

Recommendations for You

Here are a few pieces of content that I found valuable and hope you will, too:

"Lots of bad science still gets published. Here’s how we can change that" (article from Vox). For over a decade, scientists have been grappling with the alarming realization that many published findings — in fields ranging from psychology to cancer biology — may actually be wrong. Or at least, we don’t know if they’re right, because they just don’t hold up when other scientists repeat the same experiments, a process known as replication. This article describes a project to change incentives and hold scientists responsible.
"Don’t Let Employee Engagement Wither in a Hybrid Office" (article from Harvard Business Review). In hybrid work, a lack of proximity and personal connections can lead to issues such as burnout and attrition. To address this problem, managers need support from company leaders and HR teams to be able to properly support their employees, such as specialized onboarding, training, and ready-to-use resources. In addition, managers should be given more autonomy to make decisions that support their employees in real time.
"Annie Duke Thinks You Should Quit" (podcast with transcript from the "People I Mostly Admire" podcast). Psychologist turned poker player Annie Duke discusses quitting: why quitting is so hard, how to do it sooner, and why we feel shame when we do something that’s good for us.

"Dr. Gleb gave a great presentation for my group. He was recommended by some other chapters within my organization. He really delivered some great advice for the engineers, and I think most engineers should probably hear it. Working with him was great, he's one of the best speakers that I've ever worked with. He was very well prepared, I had to do very little to get it worked out. He was dynamic, he involved all the different participants, he had customized remarks. So it was a great experience for everyone. I really recommend him for any engineering team that's involved in decision making, I think he's got a great message that you should probably hear."

Steve Corns, Chair of IEEE MS&T

What's Up With Me

I was fortunate to recover from my bout with COVID in time for New Year’s Eve, when my wife and I host a dinner almost every year. It was a fun time: I made khachapuri (also known as Georgian cheese boat, referring to the country, not the state), and bought some Ukrainian food. It’s the only holiday when my wife and I truly celebrate our heritage, although this year, of course, was a much darker year than typical holiday celebrations, given the terrible situation in Ukraine. I hope my relatives there are safe and sound. Still, New Year’s Eve at my house was a lovely holiday celebration and a good way to welcome 2023. Let’s hope this new year brings an end to the devastating war in Ukraine.
